    Default My First Farkle....sort of :)

    So, a few days prior to purchasing my Spyder, my wife made me assure her that I would be satisfied with the bike as is, and that as soon as I drove it home I wouldn't want to immediately start adding all kinds of extras $$$. Of course I told her that the bike I wanted was fully loaded and I was pretty much good to go with it as equipped. Well, the day I drove it home from the dealer, she sat on it and commented on how comfortable it was. The next statement was, "I need an arm rest, can you buy those?" So, I guess my wife gets the first farkle.

    Default Welcome

    To the Spyder web and this great website.

    I found farkles are easier to justify when the missus is happy.

    Ryde safe and enjoy.

    When I bought my RT Limited; I explained to the Missus that "limited" stood for "Limited Farkling Opportunities..."

    I've heard that when the wife gets "farkle fever", she usually gets her own Spyder😳

    Bayouboy,

    I purchased my bike in Houma. Next time I bring it in for service, mind if I give you a shout?

    While my wife knew that I would be getting farkle's for my bike. The first to be installed, note I
    said installed, was for her. The SmoothSpyder Dual Backrest.

    That would be cool. It would be nice too hook up with other owners. I haven't met too many around here.

    My first "farkles" were safety additions.. Extra brake lights, bumpskid, improved anti-sway bar, and anything to keep it on the road better and safer.. Now I can add some bling farkles to them.. Just a little at a time , as i dont want to over-do it with the BLING..You know what i mean..some people gots way to much "crap" wraps and decals etc. and it looks crappy and cheap..good luck..
