New Category for British Motorcycles
[edit]As part of the Motorcycling WikiProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out I have created a category for British motorcycles. Please will you add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons British Motorcycles so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons - take your camera next time you go to a rally! Thanks

Earlier versions named 'Spitfire'
[edit]I thought I should mention that this article is about Spitfire MkII. I surmise the Mark 2 aspect of naming is due to the name already being used for (two) previous versions of 'Spitfire' being sold in US (one based on the pre-unit A10 and the second the A65). Neither were available in UK, AFAIK.
I didn't introduce this into the prose as I don't believe a definitive citation would be (easily) available – journalists and advertising copy-writers simply did not have that mind-set in expecting/anticipating that a facility such as Wikipedia would need it 50 years later.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 09:50, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
