Treasured Honda Goldwing motorbike lost in blaze riddle

A DRIFFIELD biker's treasured possession has gone up in smoke after his motorbike was destroyed by fire. Vikki Thornton, of Auchinleck Close, called fire crews to her property in the early hours of Sunday after discovering her husband's motorbike, a 20-year-old Honda Goldwing parked on the road outside the house, was on fire.

Mrs Thornton said: "I was up in bed and the next thing I know, my husband is shouting 'my bike is on fire.' I got up and called the fire brigade who were here within minutes. "The fire inspector had a look and he seems to think it was an electrical fault, so we are just waiting for the insurance to come and take it away." The motorbike, which was imported from America, was destroyed by the fire and Mr and Mrs Thornton are now waiting to find out what caused the blaze.
