would you all please stand and welcome my #10 srx

quite a few niggles on it to be fixed, nothing serious, then it'll be stripped, powder coated/sprayed etc, then it'll be the keeper and good old #1 will be sold.

can anyone tell me if there is a support group for people who can't stop buying bikes please .....

Yes I’m afraid you have what is know as “bikebuyingittus” i too suffer from a mild case of it, having just told a friend of mine that “I’ll definitely have” his 1800 mile 2010 one owner Triumph Bonneville.
However mine is clearly only a mild case of “bikebuyingittus” as the Bonneville will only take my tally to 4🤦???.
Best of luck Steve with the project, looking forward to progress updates in the coming months👍
Cheers, Michael

It really is heartening to know that i'm not alone, and there are others out there who should also be attending BBB meetings (Bike Buying Bonkers)

see you all at the next gathering  :)

Hey Steve Lake, Ive got back the SRX6 that I sold some ten years ago. Last owner put some extreme racing style footrests on it and binned the originals!
Do you have a spare set of originals plus levers, linkages etc you would swop? I cannot get pics on this site but can take pics with my phone and get them over to you.
We met many years ago at some of the early Thumper club meets, I would have had an old DR750 then.
I still have a Tenere XT660Z and treated myself to a Suzuki VStrom XT so the SRX completes the lineup, a bit of work to recommission but the footrests on have to go.
Cheers SteveD
If I'm not working I'll be away on my bike camping!

i'm having second thoughts about keeping this bike standard, send me a pic of your 'radical' rearsets, and i may do a swop with the ones off this 'new' bike of mine. they'll suit the seat and the clipons i plan to fit.

good to see 'lud' back in the fold

cheers
