I knew there was a reason I don't like Corona beer. Warning! Stay away from it so you don't get the Coronavirus too.

I have the virus also. Worked my way down to Corona lite and that's as far as I've gotten. I just can't shake it. I guess once you're infected it's for life. I get a flare up when I'm near a BBQ or when I see a hamburger or pizza. It's a terrible affliction and I've found no antidote for it.

An empty checking account and maxed out cards have been known to slow it down, but cure, I don't think so.

Yea, working my way to the bottle water but it's almost as pricy as the lite beer. I've saved a little bit now to do a gage-ectomy and I just ordered the parts today. Hopefully I can do it for under $40.

Pretend that all farkles are oil filters. We spend hundreds on stuff that glows, twinkles, shines, or makes noise, but we throw a fit if an oil filter costs more than $5.

I found a cure. (Or so I thought) Many years, many vehicles each farkled and loved. My Spyder was no exception. After nearly 3 years it was coming close to being the perfect machine for me. But when I lost my wife it had to be sold. So, I went back to riding my old Goldwing that I had farkled to death while owning it for nearly 15 years. I thought, "It is perfect, what more could I do except enjoy the ride". Well, last week I go riding with a new guy who has great looking tank knee scuff pads on his bike. Gotta have them. I thought the old Wing was the cure. But, I fell off the wagon. Now convinced that it is a sickness that is incurable..... Jim

I also have farkle virus, but my spyder is in hibernation, and I don't have time to buy farkles because I am usually on the sled in winter.
I can not get away from the farkle virus, I have a new sled to farkle in the winter. It never ends!

I have it. Yea, I went a little nuts on the RS-S, but I just love the machine, it has characteristics that just cant be matched on a bike. I have owned LOTS of bikes that are faster, quicker, and even built a few nice ones up over the years. But the Can Am is a really unique ride, and I know that even though I am 52, this is one of the last machines that will come through my barn, and I plan to pass it down.
I have finally found my "Red Barchetta" like the Rush song describes. And I am halfway to being the white haired old uncle that keeps an old machine, for 50 odd years, to keep it as new as been his dearest dream. Yea, I am that guy now, and my Can Am is that machine, its unique to me, and I may own another, but I will ALWAYS keep this RS-S.
But I have recognized my "Farkle-itis" and am in therapy. "Hi, I am Kraig"...."Hello, Kraig"...."I own a Can Am and I spend WAY too much money on it...." ....lol...maybe we should start a group, eh?

The “CURE” is plenty of cash, not necessarily a cure, but it no longer itches or hurts.

New addict here. I bought my Spyder F3 base model just after Thanksgiving. At first I was just going to add fog lights and a signature light for visibility. Then I figured I got the spyder apart let's change the headlights to LED. Wife asked what I wanted for xmas I said heated grips. I just installed those and figured I would install Spyderpops RGB LEDs and brake light kit to get my spyder ready for the season. I also added some decals from wrapmyspyder. Now I am thinking about detachable saddle bags and cruise control switch...it never ends I am hooked and I have only put 300 miles on my spyder
