Jim -
You voice Q's we all think of, especially when wife.gov says "You want to spend how much on that old thing?".
Disregarding fair wear and tear items, would you keep the 240 if
(1)It didn't handle like it does? (2) Wasn't as comfortable? (3) Was impossible for us DIY guys to work on? (4) Had not a shred of status? (5) Couldn't carry as much as your 245 does? (6) Had none of the designed-in safety things? (7) Didn't have the parts and info network support we find on the BB? (8) Looked like all the others?
Well, I can't think of which one would cause me to have something else.
There will be a time, I suppose, when the economics of needed repairs are just too much. Not in the forseeable future around here.
Thanks for a good Yak.
Regards,
Bob
