Bike museum Timmelsjoch/Passo Rombo

Upper section ramp was roped off when we, half Team BFN, had a coffee there in 2019.

Oh, the road there though ........ is the closest thing to heaven.
Ha, that’s rather ironic.



That funny looking Jap thing with half of TTW and TFK, and the inside of the fireplace. Almost at the top, on the way to the fireplace, TTW, Mo and PF1. Deleted the movie, takes up too much data stuff.

A good example of why you should install sprinklers and fire shutters/curtains, but a great loss all the same.
Fire is something I worry about in my place and I only have a fraction of what they had. Hopefully our Italian friend will have good fire precautions for his Laverda museum.
One solution is to have more than one building or at least different halls which can be sealed off which is how they managed to rescue/save many of the bikes when the UK National Motorcycle Museum went up in smoke.
 
one of the videos available on youtube regarding this disaster.
20M € of investments literally burned.

A few videos on Youtube now, it does seem some of the building was saved, bikes parked in the snow, only one wing appears badly damaged but who knows what is inside, shame really. You would have hoped all this standard of museum would have learned from the UK National Motorcycle Museum's fire, a very nice marble floor but no water sprinklers!

The UK museum here now has sprinklers - after the big fire. This needs to be publicised so we don’t lose any more.
Unsurprisingly - these people are trying

here is a link from the Austrian TV, 2nd report. Dont cry when you see the faces of the sad collectors. The left side of the building where the museum was is totally burned down, the center part and the cafe could be safed. About 200 bikes were burned.

We, as collectors of our Laverdas can feel the pain.
 
Really sad. I'm struggling to understand how a modern multi-million dollar building, in a place like Austria, housing multi-millionEUR worth of bikes can have such poor or even absent(?) fire supression / sprinkler systems. I thought all that stuff was compulsory in any modern building, especially a public/commercial one.
I've been over Timmelsjoch but don't remember the building, so it must have been pretty new. Any word on rebuilding? I'm not sure collectors would be lining up to loan exotic bikes/cars in a hurry though...
