He who desires form over function deserves neither.
Brillant ! I'm in the motorcycle business, Honda motorcycle's actually. I do my best to explain that to guys that talk about what a great bike Harley Davidson makes. I'm always saying, "Form Follows Function". I personally buy and ride Honda sportbikes, a CBR600 this year because of this principle.
I've also been know to call Harleys "Reproduction Antiques" and we all know what they are worth. Since I'm up on this soapbox I have a little joke I like to tell Harley riders too, "Hey, if you want to sell your bike I understand the U.S. Navy is currently buying them, they have a shortage of anchors".
