the motorcycle museum in Hochgurgl in Tyrol Austria, with about 200 motorcycles from roughly 100 different manufacturers, in an all pine wood building, went up like a gas torch at 4am today. All the collection is lost, so there's only photos to look at to see what they used to have


Isabelle photographed the collection in 2020, and has the best gallery I've seen so far: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=isabelle.bracquemond.7&set=a.10225306698523407

  2. The National Motorcycle Museum in the UK suffered a not dissimilar fate in 2003 although has been rebuilt and the damaged motorcycles now restored: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hereford/worcs/3114410.stm
