Nice one.  I guess yours is the one with the union flag paintwork?  I shall post some Morocco pics to same site; I wonder how we can best force a dedicated Tiger section to the ADV forum?

I've brought that subject up already and it got shot down.  Don't think they are interested is creating any more specific bike sections.  A few of us ADV people suggested sections for Tigers, Vstroms and Uly's and they said 'no'.

That's Eric's... Mine is the Black-Red-Gold one. But hopefully that is also soon going to change... 8)

While they most likely will not create a dedicated forum for us, we can always show up in numbers in the other sections. Granted, it's more subtle. But IMHO subtlety sometimes is more effective than the brute force approach. That's why I like the BMW punchlines transferred to the Tiger (driving machine => riding machine)  :twisted:

Gator, is that an aftermarket decal you had put on the front of the Tiger or part of the original paint work !! It looks the bees knees !!

Like I said earlier: Mine is the black one with the yellow stripes... Eris owns the one with the Union Jack. It is a custom paint job. Not a decal.

Top triv: it's a union flag unless it's hoisted on a ship, at which point it becomes a union jack.  :lol:



Gator, your bike's cool, too.  Is that a German flag (German jack?!) around your lid?

Oh boy... Now I know why the guys always looked at me in that strange manner when I was on the island in my previous life and mentions 'the jack'... :roll:

FLAG!! Mate, do you see a ship anywhere????  8) But yes, I did that in the German colo(u)rs on purpose... Yet, soon that is going to change... Come to the Ride-In and you will see...  8)
