Your most memorable SR moment???

Memorable for the wrong reason;

2000: Departed Philip Island on my orange SR cafe' racer, after the completion of the World Superbike races. Bumper to bumper trafic and took over an hour to get back as far as Tooradin (about 50km) on the way home. In absolute agony, got of the bike outside the Tooradin pub, could neither straighten my legs nor straighten my back. Spend a good 1/2 hour on the grass meadian strip trying to get feeling back in to my legs and rid myself of the agonising knee pain. One kind sole bought me a beer to easy the pain while everyone else had a good laugh. Proof that 6'4" (193cm) and a radical cafe' rideing position don't work in slow bumper to bumper traffic situations. Have never tried to ride the bike in that kind of traffic situation since. Stick to a quick 1/2 to 1 hour blast down a twisty road where you can forget about the pain and discofort that goes with the "look".

I have had lots of good rides as well (along with some that truely suck), including many great runs down through the Royal National Park to Stanwell and back.

Mine would be the first time I saw it, sitting in the garage of the guy I bought it from. Like a little kid in a candy store!

Buying 2 SRs last week with my wifes full blessing ( I just love the woman!) All I wanted was a barrel ,head & piston that he advertised . Lucky for me I had the sense to bring my trailer ! Cheers Dave.

My muffler melting off on the way to Melbourne.

I kept stopping off at different service stations in the middle of no-where, and borrowing tools. I felt bad each time I stopped so I bought a packet of cigarettes at each garage.

By the time I got to Melbourne I had hundreds of the things in my backpack. I don't think I bought fags again for a long time.

every time my super trapp sets off car alarms.

and at stop lights riding with friends who can't hear their RPM's because my bike to to loud and they all stall.

pablosrfivehundred...heh, heh...my bike with it's Supertrapp does the same thing. I pull into the parking lot at work and a few car alarms are set off. Too funny. My most memorable moments were in the early eighties in Toronto, Canada. My mate also had a 79 SR500, exactly like mine and we would go riding early Sunday morning though downtown. Very little traffic and giant skyscrapers, and the sound of our two SR's was like thunder. Great fun. Anyway, Merry Chrismas to all the SR500 forum members and CHEERS!
