After returning to motorcycles in my late forties it was Japanese cruisers...several. But after riding a friends sport bike (like I had as a kid) there was no going back. Tried several of those too. Loved my 2002 Kawi 600 Ninja. But finally settled on my beloved 04 Honda 599. A supersport with an upright seating position. Tiny, light as a feather and oh so fast. Alas, I sold it last year after realizing I was riding it less and less. Of course every time I WOULD ride it, I swore I'd never let it go. Still miss it.



I tried a couple of times, but never got on with sport bikes.  Those things can scream though!

"Well I sure don't know for how long but it seems that my PC and software are where I've always hoped they'd be."
 
me too,after years of Hoontech soundcards and Cubase I stumbled onto Sonar 2 and struggled for a while till finally 8:5:3 came out and I upgraded to Focusrite interfaces.
I get clients who are blown away by how quickly I can process a mix for playback and all comment on my tweaked U.I.-the majority have never seen or heard of Sonar.
I would upgrade to Splat tomorrow if I thought it wold be "better" or more capable than what I have but I record live predominately so don`t need libraries and extra tools.I leave mastering to the pro`s.
I have yet to have a dropout or crash for the last few years so if it aint broke why fix it and I still maintain a wav is a wav regardless of DAW-preamps,quality instruments and talent are way more important than a pretty G.U.I. 
 
I drive a 96 Hilux and people are always asking me why don`t I upgrade-the thing is I can honestly say I could drive it to London tomorrow,confidently-no electronics or driving aids to fail and I can pickup spares anywhere.
My point is that new is not always better-look at mid 90`s Benz`s or the original WRX-all fast becoming collectors items and still beautifully functional-it`s a pity Sonar 8:5:3 is not seen in the same light.
Having said that,the arthritis is setting in and if I can`t play anymore I will join the Splat community as the older I get the more composition becomes important rather than performance.
The upside of upgrading is that I have this forum to guide me through-invaluable.
sorry to butt in but I have a mistrust of planned obsolescence and yet to find a new feature I could use.
cheers

What a strange question. I'm glad this is "helpful". Not sure how old it is-it's an 80 yr anniv. model for them. I'm thinking @ 7 yrs old.  Mine still looks just like the picture and performs flawlessly. Only maintenance has been yearly service and blade changes about every two years. I wear ear plugs and if it's dusty or dry grass I wear a dust mask. I've never used the headlights. It has a place on the patio and I have to roll it on the lawn, out of the way when I want to throw darts. ( I have Harley darts just in case you were going to ask and will take a picture if it will be helpful :)
 
I guess they're much like versions of Sonar. Some would be perfectly fine with a push mower. Some may need a bushhog....maybe that's why you would ask.
 
Do you have a Huffy Bapu?
