    Default FARKLES!!!!!!

    It's time to Farkle for the New Year! I just ordered the Missing Belt Guard, NBV Highway Brackets with the Web Pegs, a Baja Ron Sway Bar, and the RT Bump Skid! On Saturday, I'm taking a cold ride (current forecast says it will be in the teens when I leave the house, Saturday morning . . . brrrr! ) to Remington, Virginia to get a Laser Alignment from Lamont and Harvey Clark! 2014 is starting in a great way! Dan McNally is a happy guy!

    Farkles for this year for the Spyder are new wheels, a backrest and a belt tensioner. Not sure which one though.

    Please, do not make fun of Bob Denman, his feelings get hurt very easy, and when he sobs ......... The Missus will come spread her terror on you for hurting her sweetie.

    Beware the wrath of the Missus.

    Bob could be the culprit that came up with that word. Jus sayin

    Per The Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=farkle

    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.

    Default Farkle

    Term used long before that! I remember hearing it in the 80's.
