Hi Pretties Rocket Ladies , Hi Sympathetic Rocket Men

Here in France it is impossible to have the tribal blue kit so , for my new Roadster , I will ask a professional paint man to paint mine . But it seems to me that the tribal orange kit have lateral panels with a tribal motive and the blue tribal kit have the panels only in blue without tribal motive So my question is :
You happy owner of a tribal blue rocket , do your blue side panels have some tribal signs on them ?
I wait you answer and thanks you by advance !

I don't have either a tribal orange or blue Rocket but took these two pictures at our Lake Tahoe Salvo. I don't have a better picture of the blue one's tank but it does have the tribal motif. You can see that the side panels are plain blue. I hope this helps.

Thanks Navigator so orange and blue have not the same tribal sketch on side panel ?
(orange have one but not blue ) Does not seem strange ?

The blue one belongs to one of the members of our group. I rode it a few months later when he and I took a ride up to a Triumph shop in Bellingham, WA. Until you posted this, I never even noticed that the blue did not have the tribal markings on the side panel. The dealership in Pensacola had a tribal red Rocket used for test rides when I bought mine. I cannot recall if it had the tribal sketch on the side panels though.

But here is an interesting item. I just did a web search and the color for the 06 is not Tribal Blue but rather Caeruleus Blue Flame. This may be why they are different because they are different paint schemes. See the color options for 06 in the first link.

Thanks a lot Navigator
I never made distinction between tribal motive and Caerulean flame
that was my fault !
