    I don't think I ever saw that crossbreed.The heritage softail is great for cruising but the Buell is built for speed.The Bobber is great for both.Slim line and just has a rumble on its own.

    I only ever rode HD's so I am impartial to all these imports.

    Do you do a build to order type thing? There's a few harleys around here but the owners seem to change them a lot. Keep buying and selling.

    The Buell was all about handling, made it a great commuting bike, if they made it any shorter it'd be a unicycle. As far as Japanese bikes are concerned I've had Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha. Never owned a Kawasaki or any British, German or Italian bike. Not a bike fan of anything I have to lie forward on. If I go back to bikes eventually I'll get something cheap and easy first.

    Deskside with coffee.

    Early bout of motivation has diminished, hopefully coffee will get the motor running again.

    Doubtful though.

    Tunes - Metallica released their discography on the MQA format and it's an auditory treat. Safe to say all my neighbours are listening to them too.

    I fell over on the landing. I normally laugh these things off but it really got to me today. The random tripping over or losing my balance was a frequent feature up to early adolescence and it always made me feel like an idiot - 'slow and stupid' like one particular primary teacher so kindly put it. Well, I don't know if it's the lock down or what but it's happening with increasing frequency again. And it reminds me that in truth I am not 'quite right'. I worry about getting out and about again and making a fool of myself publicly and I worry about tipping down the stairs or out of the bath or off a footpath and doing myself some real damage. I know I need a kick up the hole. Dyspraxia us really not a big deal but I'm feeling picked on by the universe today. Why wasn't I gifted with the grace and freedom of movement o a gazelle? Or just normal, like everyone else?

    OK. That self pity is not warming me to myself. I most likely have Dyspraxia from being oxygen deprived at birth. If the worst that happened to me as a result of that was being a clumsy, dithering, oaf I'm actually very, very lucky. Feel free to contribute your own reality checks on pity party here.

    Sardonicat, maybe the lockdown restrictions and being confined have exacerbated it? You've a lot on your mind and your own life is on hold to an extent so stress might be playing a part too.

    I'm no computator scientologist but I can't get my head around how a lossy format can beat FLAC and come in smalled. I'm still making do with mp3 like the technological troglodyte I am.

    Once maybe twice a year we get an order to build one from the ground up.But mostly it is just modifying their bikes into chops,bobbers,trike,etc.

    Reading back over the thread this morning and having a clearer head.I thought you meant you had a Buell with softtail parts.Thought to myself Dear God that has to be one ugly bike!Anytime I see the word Heritage,a softtail springs in my head.I'm easily confused at times.

    Even typing springs made me think of a Springer,

    That's the debate isn't it.. and I honestly can't argue it.. :D but in all my years of listening to various formats, the quality that MQA files output is absolutely incredible. At the end of the day it's down to personal preference I guess.

    I'm taking my annual leave starting today but it's such an anticlimax.
