I just deleted the history section; it's almost entirely a copy-paste from Peugot's Motorcycles page. Copying the text and then changing a few words here and there won't do. It needs to have original text composed and footnoted. Readers can also simply click on the external link at the bottom if they are interested in Peugeot's official history straight from the horse's mouth. --Dbratland (talk) 20:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
