Funny thing about taste...

Have you ever been in a situation, and I'm sure you have, where someone tells you, "These noodles taste fabulous with Strawberry ice-cream! You just have to try some!"? And you go, "Okaaay... Maybe later..." And then "later" does arrive, and you just end up sampling some, and then wish you hadn't, because you'd rather savor Satan's home cooking than that crap to be honest..

And the same applies everywhere - food, clothes, colors, shapes, sizes, appearances overall, music, cars, bikes, animals.. Then there's how you would deal with things, everyone is different, and has different tastes. Whatever happened to the good old saying "to each his own"? One man's music is another man's noise...

Colors are subjective, looks even more so. Some people say a red Karizma is beautiful, I loathe every inch of it! If I ever, and quote me on this, were to have a Karizma, it would be a stripped-down, bare bones version, with just the chassis, engine, light, free-flow end can, a single seat, round headlamp and light clip-ons - and all the weight-saving bits I can find... No fairing, panels and an exhaust can that weighs a ton.

And the same to the BMW 5 series. Some may think it's ugly, but I think it's gorgeous, with it's wide eyes, which don't look the bit because of it's sweeping eyeline... And then there's it's flowing lines, that accentuate it's length and fitness. Then the back, with the stretched tail lamp assembly and, for some, that glorious "M" badge!

So there. The next time you're about to tell someone to try something that suits your taste, don't say, "This is awesome, you have to try some...". Instead, say, "I think this tastes great, you should try some, you might like it..."

And just so you know, I always suggest a bike or car for someone, but that's based on practicality and requirement, not looks.
And I never pick the color...
