What is the least important thing that you have ever worried about? One time, when I was 40 I bought the most amazing pair of reading glasses perfectly designed by brilliant Parisian ophthalmologists. They cost me around a thousand dollars, thin, gold rimmed, very well styled, perfect... and they dimmed in the sunshine, they cleared in the dark, they were good for reading and driving and writing, and I had them for a day and then lost them in Paris...I was never so much worried about the cost of such basically unnecessary things, I was just more worried that I had paid so much for something inessential. Never been back to the optometrists since. The world looks just fine to me anyway. I can see enough for my needs.
What is the least important thing that you have ever worried about? For me, yesterday, well..Yesterday, the least important thing that I have been worried about was the quality of my second favourite fountain pen because the inner sleeve of the cap came loose. I finally, after analysing the problem, worked out a perfect solution... but in the interim, I lost the pen.
Nice example of the very limited Marque...a year 2000 BMW R1200C Motorcycle with only 6,000kilometres ridden
I think they were only made for about 2 years when BMW had a look into Cruisers rather than the usual high-block upright BMW design...and they spent a lot of research money on producing these fine bikes...massive torque, reliability, and perfect for cruising... I always liked these bikes but the way they were sold with mostly raised handle-bars was just silly. The design needs the lowered sports handle bars on this one...otherwise they end up looking silly like Harleys with high bars...like some kind of dysfunctional kids push bike from the 70s.
With the low bars, the Cruiser looks just right and has survived the ageing of designs really well after 16 years.
