Will it ever end?.......Never!! If you're not sure what I'm talking about or even remotely think that it's related to something obscene, let me just clarify it by attaching the definition below.
| 1. | farkle | |
accessory. The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of "function" and "sparkle", hence, farkle. Motorcycle enthusiasts may install accessories, called farkles (also spelled farkel), to customize their machine. One source attributes the term to Pete Wells, the organizer of a 1997 Honda ST1100 rally www.nabble.com/Re:-Farkel, {delete this line and join two halves for url} -or-is-it-Farkle--p2354383.html The term is well known in the sport touring community. An enthusiast may be in the process of "farkling". The completed motorcycle would be all "farkled up". Radar detectors, Global Positioning System receivers, heated grips, and satellite radios are some of those farkles. Other accessories could be aftermarket seats, side and/or top cases or bar risers, which make the motorcycle more suitable for long miles. | ||
After my East Coast adventure I went to David's place for more stuff....good god have you no self restraint? apparently not. As usual, we justify these sort of spending as "it's necessary" humph...ya rite. Though as the definition goes, there is a functional element to it.
So what's new since my last farkle update:
1. Hepco Becker top rack and Junior TC45 case (from Sunny)
2. Wunderlich Microflooter Auxiliary lights
3. Hepco Becker Bash plate
4. Wunderlich Radiator guard.
