'Disrespectful' Te Papa museum visitor ignores signs, climbs on $700,000 exhibit

A Te Papa museum visitor has been slammed after ignoring warning signs and climbing on a rare $700,000 exhibit on the weekend.
On Saturday exhibit-goer Leon Watson was taking a look around the Britten V1000 motorbike exhibition when he overheard a woman say she was going to climb on the bike.
With a helping hand of another bystander, the woman is seen climbing over the warning barrier and pushing herself onto the exhibit, which is more than 2m high.
The woman then posed for a photo before climbing down.
Watson told Stuff the woman's behaviour was stupid and disrespectful.

Get off the fucking bike, you stupid fucking bitch! It's not a fucking toy!

When questioned about her action, Watson said the woman claimed to be a close friend of the late John Britten, the New Zealand mechanical engineer who designed a world-record-setting motorcycle.

That makes it worse, you entitled fucking bitch! If you really did know him, then that actually makes it worse. You're dispresecting his memory and what he achieved by clambering all over his legacy and risking damage to it!
SMFH.
