Celebrating 35 Years of Kicking SR

Happy 35th Birthday Yamaha SR!!!

It has been already 35 years since you came to grace the roads of this world. Thanks God for that!

This year the huge SR community in Germany decided to celebrate this anniversary with a meeting. They met this weekend (1st and 2nd of May) in Vreden. Vreden is a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany near the Dutch border. 

Sadly I could't attend due to the 12,644km (yes, I checked) that lie between us. Who knows, maybe I'll make it for the 40th...

Thanks to the guys at 35 Jahre Yamaha SR500, who gave me the permission to use the pictures, I can treat you to some very nice SR.

Almost like being there in person...well, minus the nice beer and the cold weather.

My personal favourite! Is it weird if I say I want to have babies with it?

One of the most eccentric looking SR I have ever seen.

KEDO were there with their builds.

Hmmm...what do you think?

The Legend's 35th Anniversary

Behold! It's been 35 glorious years for the ever young Yamaha SR.
2013 marks the 35th anniversary since the first SR graced us with its presence in 1978.
I was only 4 years old and utterly unaware of future joys and sorrows. Also unaware that 32 years later I would fall in love with my SR400 and that it would change my life in so many ways.

Really, Yamaha should bring back the SR to the rest of the world. At 535.500Yen (5,700US$), you could get yourself a piece of history.

Glory to you beloved, and may the Gods shine their blessings upon you.
(sorry...been watching too many episodes of 'Spartacus' hehe)
