Title: Are Tiger numbers growing.?
Post by: robbo on April 26, 2005, 12:52:40 AM
I was out for a run on Sunday, I headed down to Penrith and Heart side view ( the A686 to Alston ). On the way I passed two Tigers and I met another three at Heart Side. I have done this trip many times and never seen another tiger.



So the question is, is the tiger becoming some sort of underground cult.? no-one talks about them in public but everyone seems to be buying them.

Could be. I saw two whilst passing through Devils Bridge on Sunday - thats 3 in one place at one time !!

Kinda gives you an unusual feeling that you own a common bike  :oops:

I'm beginning to see more around here.  My dealer (http://www.pjstriumph.com) said he sold 18 of them last year!

It happened again, I was on my way to Edinburgh for a meeting and there were two tiger owners with bikes at the roadside sheltering from the rain. Having said that they couldnÌt be real Tiger owners because real Tiger owners wouldnÌt stop riding because of a little downpour. Like the one I passed about another 10miles up the road.

Not in the states too much, although I get many compliments on the yellow '99.  Perhaps in time.

I remember reading that Triumph USA broke new sales records in the US last year, so I imagine a few Tigers were in there somewhere.
