Hi all, The ACT branch of the SR500 Club...400's as well of course...are having a ride to Kangaroo Valley...yep that's a real place...over the weekend 26-27 May. Hope the weather is OK of course...but we'll still go anyway... It is called the KVR for short and there is information on the ride on the Aus SR500 Club website here: www.sr500club.org/If you want to take the SR out for a ride come along. See you there. SR ;D

Hi Dave, I counted 6 members from WA, including yourself...you should put something in the club website and try to get some of them together. One of my SR's is over there somewhere. It's an H model with and E model tank and seat. Lat I saw of it I had sold it to a guy on the RAAF Base at Pearce... Should have kept that one as well...ah, well... I recall seing an UK E model riding around there one day and others. There must be a few of them there...somewhere... SR

Cheers Stew I'll have to look into that . I would imagine that most of the guys would reside in Perth so it could be a mission getting a ride together . It may have to be a meet halfway or something . When you said members did you mean on the forum or the SR Club Australia ? My SR was built out of 3 bikes so that would explain what happened to most of them as the years passed . Lucky my frame & motor is a matching pair but everything else was the best of the bits (least worn out in some cases) . Still she's a stock goer but I don't know how she'd handle a long run as I only do around 40-50ks on it when I take it out . I mean I never have problems I mainly use it as my spare bike or if I've got to hit the gravel for any distance as it is like a trail bike and its fun arcing the back wheel up on the corners . So if your ever over this way drop in there's always a spare bike for a hack cheers Dave .

Thats good info anyway Stew it gives me a fair idea how many SR500s are in WA now at the moment . I've only seen Robbo's on the Salvo charity ride , I only go to Perth every now & then (theres only 3 good roads there & they all leave the joint!) Oh well have a great KVR run & stay in the saddle cheers Dave.

Hi Curly, No not at all...you're welcome. After all where would the SR be without the XT/TT... I have owned several of them over the years and the DCM has one for an engine as well. Come along. SR

I had convinced myself to bid on the near standard sr500 on ebay to ride down BUT I woke up last night at 2am to find some scum of the earth fark face had set my car on fire, parked right in front of my house across the street. People were on it within a minute, but it was gone. We saved the car behind it by watering the bonnet with a garden hose. His number plate holder melted and that was it.
Having just spent 500 on a new pump and service last week, with 600 due in excess, there goes $1100 at least.
I guess the positive is I finally met most of my neighbors. Sadly thats the way it is in Sydney these days, Maybe if more people knew/looked out for their neighbors more of these tools would get caught. The neighbors that I had met previously were because we've seen each other on motorcycles.
Motorcycles - bringing the world together.
Anyway, I feel sorry for the next person who doesn't so much as pick up their dogs shiza on the median strip.....there were some fired up people out there last night.
vent/rant over.
