Just found your site courtesy of the SR500 Club Aust. I, like the majority of 500 yamaha nut and have a few more that I realy can justify. I still have my original 1978 SR500 which I bought s/hand in 1980, although it is now a faily radical cafe' racer. My daily transport is a basically stock '78 SR that I built out of parts.
In the collection I also have a fairly original '76 TT, a home built Aberg replica, ie. a SR500 engine in a 1978 Husqvarna MX chassis, a '76 XT in the process of a major rebuild, a SR/TT hybrid that is being built up as a Supermotad, a SR that is being built as a classic road racer, plus the remaims of a SR500, a SR400 and a TT500. So I agree with most, 500 yamahas are an incurable disease. An that is not to mention the collection of 17 early 1960's/early 70's hondas and and other bikes that at last count came to more than 30.
