What tickled me is the form asks if the vehicle has anti-lock brakes and the poster says yes.

At least he didn't mention "Welbike" and "paratroopers".

I believe the brake are "anti-lock" - they won't lock no matter how hard you pull the lever *smile*

Hi All,
Did anyone see the price a very rusty welbike
made at the recently linked to auction?
About 3 times the price of the pictured Ariel *eek*

That's my point about the current madness. Its seems oddities for collectors are worth more than rideable original bikes.  I'm coming to think that it could be because the pool of people able to ride them is diminishing.

Seems to me that 'good' bike's values are dropping. whilst 'curios' like this are rising.
