Wikipedia's most glaring omission...

[Nick Calne]

Friday afternoon and I'm inventing ways to make it the weekend sooner, so I'm messing about on the internet rather than working and found myself browsing wikipedia articles on the mighty triumph tiger...

There is a roadie article, there's a Girly article but hey, what the....?  where's the steamer article?

I couldn't let this oversight go unresolved and well I've started the ball rolling with the little I know, but as a relatively new steamer pilot could only go so far....anyone else wanna throw some words at it?

A nice entry.  Glad you did it.  A couple points though.  Triumph likes to recycle the names of thier bikes.  The "original" Tiger dates back to early 70's or even further.  Triumph stopping making bikes at some point and then re-entered the market with a vengence in 1993; and re-used several or the old names.

Also, the Girly Tigers (1999+) also have fuel injection.

Great link Stretch..
I've just finished reading "Whatever happened to the British Motorcycle industry" by Bert Hopwood.  My neighbour thought I might be interested in it when I moved in. Its was written in the early 80's so has the unique perspective of not only the insiders memories but also his thinkings 30years ago.
