One mans "soul", is another man's "meh".....
And that works both ways. When someone looks at my old gas pipe bikes and shakes their head, I get it. And I'm not offended. The bikes are primitive slugs in their eyes. And they are primitive slugs. I don't like complex modern race bikes, but I can totally understand someone lusting after every exotic doo-dad. They are passionate about the gadgetry, that's what draws them in, and that's cool. I LOVE looking at them and admiring all the engineering details. They are awesome. I'd never own one, even if it was free, but they are cool.
Everyone has different tastes in
everything. The best thing everyone can do is to understand that fact, be more accepting of that fact, and less judgmental.
