Vintage Tiger Steamer Gathering In The Sw

Hi Rick. Good call, I reckon.

I've been more than a litle pre-occupied over the past couple of weeks so haven't done ANY prep of any kind for a second meet-up, so I think we'll postpone tomorrow's tentative plans and I'll put some thought into an alternative time/date/place - @Clarkey231 might be available later, too, as he mentioned "mid-September", I think?

Thanks for the update on Coldharbour Mill, too. A meet on motorcycles on 1st. January? Hmmmmm...... probably highly unlikely in my case. Having a bike taxed over winter is a bit of a waste for a dyed-in-the-wool fair weather rider! Never say 'never', though!

 

Wow lots of stuff I’ve missed @Adie P and @Steamerblue!

Is the bloke in Woodbury called Dave Wills? If so he’s a top bloke although I know him for working on my old Golf GTI. I know he rides a Triumph.

I’ve got 5 days decompression now so plenty of time to catch up before I get off the ship on the 14th.

Great news about all the steamer action down near us all. It’s amazing how there’s such a hotspot for Tigers here!

 

Hi Guys
Excuse my ignorance but would you be kind enough to define a "Steamer" please? I ride an '01 955i Tiger, but have never heard the reference before!

Hi Mark,

Steamers are the Carb fed 885cc T400. After that came 885cc injected then yours. Yours are referred to as Girlie’s I’m afraid!

 

Well, I have to say that's weirdly appropriate as most of my biking friends call me Girly Marc... but not because of my bike! Soooooo, are there any meets for Girlies or do I have to instigate one!?
