Saw this on the BBC website. Apparently some tosser let a cigarette start a fire at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham. Arrrggghhhh.

Here's a link to the story. Unfortunately a lot of irreplaceable bikes were burned up. :angryfir: Good news is that many were saved.

Howdy,

:tab That is just unbelievable! I realize not all smokers are so careless, but the people that just toss their butts out windows and on the ground without so much as a glance to see where it will land drive me nuts! I hope the person that did it, knows they did it, and even if they never confess, I hope it torments them a lonnng time!

Adios,
 
This quote says it all.

Of course their electrical systems are oft known to do the same thing ! Remember the classic t-shirt -? "Lucas, Prince of Darkness"
