Hello from sunny Heacham, this anniversary is looming, has anyone got plans of a meeting to celebrate it?
Looking through old cuttings from my scrapbook, the first picture of a 'storm (as we know them), that I have is in MCN dated October 1996, so that gives us just over a year to sort something out. Any takers?

I'm no organiser, but I'd attend. Would have to hide my bike in the rear of the group cos there's some very class machines making the grade at the 20th!

Would like to drop by and say hello, but I'm afraid my ageing frame would give up halfway to The Hague :(
Pity the direct ferry across the pond is shut down :thumbdown:

I would like to clarify the events of that first meeting... Yes I did Say that but then I laughed & did move. Then got chating to Simon basicaly taking the piss out of Marty's bike as you do & all was well.

I didn't actually organise the event Stormy Rob did but he moved back to NI with his job, so he asked me to do the final bits & bobs like aranging things with Simon & the bods at the NMCM...

It was a good day.

As predicted despite a lot of intrest on the various Storm FB page's not a single fighturd (ruined) Storm turned up... :lol:

Lot more pic's can be found here... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1083998 ... =bookmarks

Be warned I'm the mod for the page ! Still get the odd request to join but thay tend to get refused... :lol:

More pics here... viewtopic.php?f=14&t=40712

The genaral consensus is that the First UK bikes were '97 not '96 so the 20th meet up was 2017 , therefore the 25th will be 2022.

So you have 2 years to sort it out...
