FARKLE: Fancy Accessory Really Kool Likely Expensive

[ARCTIC]

The term "Farkle" came about in the late 1880's when John Farkell put a hat on his Donky. He accomplished this by cutting ear holes and placing a silk ribbon on the brim. This started a trend among other Westerners to dress up the Donky's first following John Farkell's lead and then improvising by adding other slightly functional appurtenances to the said Donky's. thus a tradition was started that continues to this day with the term shortened to Farkle. So if you feel the need to dress up your A$$ with a lots of semi-functional ribbons and bows you are Farkleizing your ride. Source, The BK Encyclopedia of Motorcycle Knowledge, copyright 2012

That's PERFECT. Farkeling the street donkey

OK, now that we know the definition and where the word came from, could someone recommend how can I stop "farkling" my Spyder. I just bought a 2nd Spyder, haven't registered it yet, but already bought $300 worth of farkles. My wife is going to make me sleep in the garage if this continues the way it is going and it is getting hot in NJ and I do not like heat. Please help...

You're screwed! It's a terminal disease. There is no known cure. You will be destined to do it until the end comes.

Julian,
It would just be easier to move to a colder climate...
The only two known cures for Farkleosis are:
Bankruptcy
Death at the hands of an enraged spouse

There are cures... But they're far worse than the condition!

Looks like you have 4 choices.

1. Get rid of the wife.
2. Get rid of the spyder.
3. Sleep in the garage.
4. Spend more on your wife.

[Bob Denman]

You probably shouldn't get rid of your Wife...
Most of us truly do need that one voice of reason amidst all of the confusion that we cause!

Farkels are fine but you really have to watch out for sharts!!!

Farkle aint a word, not neither...

That's because it's a name. See post #19
