I snagged this little beauty, by total luck, with one second left on an auction. I had been watching this bike for several days and had actually traveled over to the owner's house to check it out in person. I decided to snipe it manually. There was one other bidder who had made a bid about one day prior. I had done my homework and knew what I was willing to spend. When the time came to put my bid in my heart almost stopped beating when my browser froze up. With only seconds left to go, according to my wrist watch, I frantically opened another browser, signed in to ebay, clicked on the bike and typed in my bid as quickly as possible and hit submit and confirm. I was sure I had lost my chance to even bid on my rare dream bike. To my surprise I came up as high bidder and refreshed to see I had won the auction with one second to spare. The guys over on the Moto Guzzi V11 forum kept asking me how I had sniped that beauty with only one second to go. My answer? . . . skill, of course!
