    Default Well I'm almost done

    I'm almost done with my Farkles. All I have left is my hitch, wiring harness when it comes in, and the belt vibration damper. It sure is all lit up now.

    Nice job! We have the same bike, even down to the smooth spyder backrest. Only thing, I don't have all the nice pretty lights that you just installed. That's Ok, I will get around to it. My hitch came in last week, and I hope to install it this weekend. I will also be reinstalling some custom driver floorboards that I made. They worked nice, but I just wanted to do a little modifications to them.

    Now that I'm retired I'm thinking of a new career, as a comedian. How was my addition?

    Well I do plan to get the shocks replaced, but that is not a Farkle. That is a requirement since I mostly ryde 2-up.

    Where did the moniker 'Blue Star' come from? Why not a blue Spyder? It's okay to tell me it's none of my business.

    No problem, as the reason has two parts.

    First part is when I got my first Spyder I learned about the PGR. Parents of active duty service members are called Blue Star Parents, and parents of service members killed in duty are Gold Star Parents. My daughter had just joined the Army (now honorably discharged), so I took that name. I explained to her about it, and always told her to never make me a Gold Star Parent.

    Second part was my first Spyder was a blue and black RS. Here is a picture of my RS, and me and my daughter getting ready to head up to Eureka when she came home on leave.

    I have thought about changing it, but too many people will not know who I am then.
