Hope it's not & it's just ash, like you say. biketrain on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247396 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 16:54:22 +0000 biketrain 247396@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Checked on way home. Mostly tiles of ash. Just needs a little brush work. biketrain on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247363 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:56:09 +0000 biketrain 247363@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Looked like piles of ash. A hazard to cyclists and pedestrians. threefromleith on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247355 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:05:16 +0000 threefromleith 247355@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Have they scraped off the melted plastic, @biketrain? Too may of these raised plastic hazards appearing on the cyclepaths of late & not being dealt with. biketrain on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247354 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:02:24 +0000 biketrain 247354@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Both bikes now removed. Tram path now needs a good sweep.

I suspect it's been reported already by now - wonder if it'd still be worth ringing 101 though, just in case?</strike> kaputnik on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247293 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 09:58:09 +0000 kaputnik 247293@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Did you report the Pinkhill bike, nedd1e? I took the registration down to call 101 later but haven't yet got round to it. The headlight / speedo etc. is a bit smashed up and there will be a lot of scuffs and scrapes to buff out but looks like it's more or less in one, working piece otherwise. crowriver on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247290 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 09:49:18 +0000 crowriver 247290@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ "is not burnt out." Yet. Check again later on and see if that's still the case. Maybe the joyriders ran out of petrol? Hope you reported to PC copper? Some poor motorbiker has had their pride and joy stolen then ditched, after all. neddie on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247286 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 09:29:17 +0000 neddie 247286@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Edit... Wait, just re-read the post title. The one below is on the Pinkhill path and is not burnt out. Hooray! <a href="https://flic.kr/p/Ts5Tzb"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2884/33769378000_c783a286a5.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Ts5Tzb">Un-Burnt Moto</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bonsai_bonus/">Ed</a>, on Flickr threefromleith on "Burnt-out motorbike - Balgreen Tram Path" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17629#post-247274 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 07:13:54 +0000 threefromleith 247274@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Big, burnt-out motorbike lying across the Balgreen tram path this morning. Hopefully the council will remove the 2 - 3" high mound of burnt plastic, welded into the surface, after they remove the wreck so as not to leave a crash hazard, right?* (* going by other burnt-out bikes, I'm very doubtful!)
