Title: Naming the Tiger 800
Post by: Tiger-G on February 02, 2011, 05:32:57 PM
Hi All,

Over on TriumphRat we have got a poll going on the choice of name for the new Tiger 800. You are more than welcome to pop over and have your opinions heard. Here's the link:

You've got your head in the sand, man.  It's Beaker by a landslide here. :roll:

they won't allow beaker in their poll, so who cares? more tiger information here anyway.

They have no imagination...  The tiger8...think I'll stick with beaker too.

So it's been on sale a while now, when are we going to make a decision and put the forum title right?  :roll:

we called it first!

plus, beaker takes quite a lot of abuse from dr bunsen honeydew.... and he always comes out ok (for the most part), and always has that same beaker attitude!

you really can't stop beaker.

Interestingly enough, there seems to be a larger than expected people's movement to add beaker to the poll.

Simply awesome.

Hows about the first member to actually get one, and post a ride report, gets to choose......

A tiger with a beak, hmm... What about Griffin?

However since the Griffins' body is from a Lion, perhaps Tigriffin is more accurate.

Neither Steamer owners or Girly owners named their bikes so why should Beaker owners be allowed to.
Well it's OK to name your own bike :-)

TR8 and TR8XC reintroduces the TR prefix that seems to have got lost in time.

Have to quote what someone wrote over on .net

You pull up at a cantina or truckstop . the hot looking waitress is checking you out , when two BMW riders yell out " Hey look , its another Muppett on a Beaker ho ho . The waitress looks uncertain then moves away hurriedly ????

Is this really all we have to talk about........must be winter.

Im sure the steamer wasnt named "steamer" when it came out.  Its a name that came in time, as all nicknames do, right?

Nice pic.... Glad no one is taking this to seriously.

They started a new pole for naming the Tiger at TriumphRat

http://www.triumphrat.net/tiger-chat/16 ... rt-ii.html (http://www.triumphrat.net/tiger-chat/164685-tiger-800-nickname-poll-part-ii.html)

Vote early, vote often........

Ok here's an angle for folks wot speak the Queens English.

Looks like Dame Ednas'  glasses actually
Soo hows about  'An Edna'
or 'The Dame'
'Possum' anyone

I thought Girly sucked.... regardless of the eyelashes.

Steamer fits.

BEAKER fits!

Besides over at Triumph Rat... they lack imagination.
WTF do they know?

GOAT.... sounds like a lonely life on the glen!

Hmmm,

Sounds a bit like "them and us" from some on this forum. That's a pity  :(

We are all in this together, we have a common interest, considering Rat and T.T are the two most recognised Tiger forums. I didn't start the thread so we could bicker at eachother. I started it as a light hearted way to get the name of the latest Tiger nailed.

Hi,

The votes have been cast and counted, and the winner is - Beaker

1st - Beaker.
2nd - Tiger8.
3rd - Cub.
4th - Goat.
5th - Dirtie.

Thanks for taking part  :)

Post by: walker on February 16, 2011, 02:47:45 PM
I saw that. Tiger8 is interesting, but how is that very much different than tiger 800 ?  :?  It's more of an abbreviation than a nickname. Beaker is a good nickname.

crap. Now I want one.
