Condos and houses looking like they're stamped
by the thousands out of the same mold; multitudes
of shapeless imported cars painted the same range
of muted blah colors; they look like they're all made
out of ticky-tacky... same goes for sportbikes
(they even *sound* tacky).

What ever happened to the sense of style they had
back in, say, the 1930's with those graceful sweeping
lines; or the 50's with the big fins and gull wings
and monster chrome grills; and motorcycles like
the Indian with its big curvy fenders.

Yesterday I was riding my S40 and a small riding group
of 3 Harleys passed me. What a sweet sound.
In the modern, plastic world there are at least
a few solid, traditional and enduring values that
remain: the taste of good food, the intoxication
of fine liquor [in moderation of course], the love
of a good woman... and the sound and feel
of a Harley Davidson common crankpin V-twin.

Time to catch up with the times.

Many popular pistols have polymer ("plastic") frames.

The newest airliner has a composite (partially "plastic") fuselage and
pressure vessel.

Sounds to me like you're not keeping up with the times.
