Nice one @2018RocketBlackBird
Funnily enough I've got a Rocket Roadster and a Honda Blackbird CBR1100XX too.
(although it's more of a Whitebird now that I got it repainted Range Rover white)
Nice combo of bikes. Much prefer the Rocket for all types of riding, even touring.
Would sell the Blackbird but I've done so much to it over the years it wouldn't pay what it owes me as they don't fetch a lot so I'll just keep it. Might be a future classic?

Love the red paint on the Rocket. Is that a custom job?

@2018RocketBlackBird Nah it's a colour Triumph were doing back in 2011 called Phantom Red Haze. Not sure how long they offered it for. There was also a Phantom Blue Haze. It's kinda like a Black Cherry Metallic paint job, as least that is what the sprayer who is going to paint my fibreglass short rear fender said.
