Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m just updating from a 2006 Blue Tribal SE Classic Rocket III to a 2011 Rocket III Roadster. I will be searching the forum for quite a few potential modifications to the new beastie. My previous Rocket was called Binky, after Death’s horse in the Terry Pratchett Discworld novels. The new Rocket will be Binky 2.

Hello Patrick, Welcome to the asylum. Not sure if you'll notice much difference between the two rides. Are you keeping both? Binky 2..... Hmmm Interesting choice for a Rocket. Have fun on the new to you beast.

Binky was written off when a white van drove over the top of it, thankfully not with me on it. I’m actually grieving the loss of it. But yes, I will have new adventures on Binky 2.

I’m having problems uploading pics. They might be too big. I’ll keep trying.

Here are a few pics. Binky was a Blue Tribal SE, Binky 2 is a black Roadster and a couple of pics of my Thruxton too.
