Yes, he rode it. I had the pleasure of riding behind him after the coffee shop. The guy has a collection of very interesting bikes, none later than 1940'ish. He doesn't know how many. He also has a collection of pre-war and wartime Leica cameras.
Here are some 2 other machines of his:
A French machine of unknown make, circa 1941:
