The Highest Motorcycle Museum burned out 😢
« on: January 19, 2021, 04:09:21 PM »
Not sure if somene posted here already - sad news

Maybe you catch already somewhere - The Highest Motorcycle Museum (2175m above sea level, located in Europe/Tirol, on border Italy/Austria) unfortunately burned in fire.

https://www.autoblog.com/2021/01/19/austria-alps-motorcycle-museum-fire/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALUCb0SXx7_guZ_rBvleVXSpsx_2LevJdsA3F5NlznXmXAlk9xbT14DZDsvqhBh0hjtkh6Zzx1lih0E8O36LrzR8bgDcHDWrGKiLfhEMs-k-GOO8ZSXuPZVp7BS0lkc21Bg_E2E5ctO2u7hhTYvFRr5z5pWAiQKkUvkWCRON5apA

There was amazing collection of bikes (more than 230, more than 100 brands.. and even some vintage cars). Never been there but was on my list to visit. :'(

Just look on their website - it was beautiful museum on beautiful place! https://www.crosspoint.tirol/en-museum

 I assume water is hard to come by on top of the world but sprinklers might have been a wise investment. I would have loved to have visited there.
