Quite possibly..

This was my first storm back in 98 to 2000. Stonking bike with ART cans. I've been looking for it but had no joy.

The only picture I have of my old one has me planted on top of it like some kind of demented power ranger in his 20's. A long time ago now!! I'll see if I can find a decent pic later and put it on the thread.

That really is a multi coloured bike. Looks like it was sponsored by United Colours of Beniton. I take it you built it as a track bike?

I thought you may have had two as I know you have the Joes. I used to gave a 97 black storm sprayed in McLaren West colours, it was an awesome looking bike with a Skidmarx fairing lower. Just got myself another black 97 one with 35k, still lovely bikes and good fun.

Thanks Stu, I like to be ready for the worst and prepared so will search for the links on the site. I have only Seen the bike on your avatar and didn't recognise the colours. Do you have more pics on another post I can look at?

Did you find it hard to find the new rollers and bits for the rear suspension Stuart? I want to pull mine apart over the winter and was wondering where to get the spares from? What paint scheme is your bike Stu?

Unfortunately that is my wife's birthday and unless I want to come home on the 14th and find my storm in component parts on my garage floor I better pass. Shame it looks and sounds like it will be a good ol crack. Have fun guys and ride safe.

Sorry mate, my mistake!! [emoji51]

I know of two R reg storms that came from Planet Moto in Bordon that were sprayed in Joes colours. Both were originally sold to chaps who live in Dovercourt and one is still in Colchester in the second owner. As Dovercourt isn't far from Felixstowe I wonder if this is the second one? As said though ...

The bike looks cool by the way. Very smart

I know Dream Machine used to spray Storms in Joes colours back in the day, would they have been able to do that for the public if there were copyright on the scheme?

It's a sad old state of affairs mate but we pays our money and takes our chances. I was out with the guy on Wednesday and he is a really good biker in his 60's with loads of experience and rides very sensibly. Goes to show you can't control the other people on the road. I'm wishing him all the best ...
