You could use a catagory that says "Can't tell yet, not done".

This is very true.  Most guys I ride with treat their bikes as projects.  Always adding and changing things.  Seems to be the same with boat owners as well.  There's always something new to try out or add to it.

I checked the box when creating this poll that allows you to change your vote Brian...  8)


So I'm sure eventually we'll all be in the max category, except for Steve maybe...  ;D

  • It's only really cold if you fall down in it.
    • C-14 farkles you almost cannot ride without.

OK but having a maximum vote category like $4,000 + really doesn't show just how badly these things can get out of hand. I mean I paid $4,000 + for my house but that is not indicative of the real cost.  :D

Should I add a couple more tiers to it Brian? So far the $4k+ category is only representing 6% of the voters...

Nah, those who have spent more than four grand probably don't want to tally it up anyway. I can see it now....' I got the calculator and started trying to total my farkles but somewhere in the process I got scarred (or scared, either one works)'. And I say this knowing that I am going to buy a Spot tonight.   :o

the big things are easy to add up Rick Mayer seat, AreaP ,PCIII now taken out and Dynotronics re-falsh replaced it . New PR2s when the stack bones were new ( that would count as a farkle not replacement) but it would be all the little things that you can't count really add up!!!
Mostly because of my chronological superiority i can't remember what they were.....
 Here's another category...farkles that you added and replaced a double farkle  ;D

Ya I was suprised to see the FedEx guy today especially carrying a Corbin box.   Less than 2 weeks from internet order to deliver when quoted 3-4 weeks.   Very nice.

I know about the pictures.   I'm trying to get the wife to model in a swimsuit with the bike but the more I think about it, I think I'd better just get some pics of the bike and get them posted so everyone believes I do exist  :thumbs:
