I was watching that one too.
I wouldn't have bid as the Linear is the first 'bent I had ever ridden and also the first one I ever crashed as well.
That's how I found out I couldn't ride USS two wheel bents. In 1994 I crashed one into Bicycle Doctor's shop front, in Manchester, after they let me have a test ride.

Not surprisingly they declined to let me have a go on the Peer Gynt LWB.
