Hi to everyone, I'm pleased to join you. First of all I'd like to say a huge thank you to "ThumperBill" who I "bumped into" on the net, who gave me a lot of useful advice regarding an oil line problem which was turning into an off-roader, Bill also steered me here as a good place to "meet" share information and chat about SR Thumping in general. I'm in the Uk and own a 1983 SR500 that I've owned for just over two months and I really enjoy the ride, I've always done my own servicing and repairs to my car and bike, D.I.Y, with tools in one hand and manual in the other but I'm no expert or professional and am still very much getting to know my bike. Summer is just begining and hope to spend more time riding than wrenching and wish you all the same, Cheers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,From Uk

Glad you made it! As you will find I am not the only one out there willing to lend a hand. I too was refered here by another member. Lots of good info and great people on this board. Thankfully it is a behaved bunch who share the same passion for the SR500 and other Yamaha 500 thumpers. Welcome and have a look around.
Bill

WELCOME TO THE SR500 FORUM!
We are glad to have you here. Our homing beacon is on full. Slowly but surely, all the SR's remaining out there in the world should gravitate here... we hope! LOL!
Looking forward to seeing pics of your bike.
Take care and talk to you soon, G Man

I'm English Damo, I will get some pics of the bike up eventually, but I'll have to spend quite a bit of time rubbing with the Autosol before I get the camera out, I'll want her to look her best :-) Cheers,,,,,,,,,,,,
