Title: Picked my 2011 up yesterday.
Post by: Khrome on September 14, 2011, 10:08:43 PM: Hello all.
Picked up my ABS 2011 yesterday after much thought. I have rode many different bikes over the years. I traded an 09 Voyager in on my 14. Prior to that I rode an 07 FJR. And many bikes before that. Been doing some catching up with the search engine. Now it's farkle time.

Farkles are what we lovingly call optional accessories. Stuff that we need/want to make our bikes fit us better, or to just look cool.

Unless we are describing them to our significant-other,
then farkles (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=farkle) become safety necessities.

Post by: Ga. Cycle Rider on September 15, 2011, 02:27:38 PM: The official meaning of "farkle" is a functional sparkle. The Harley and goldwing crowd bolt on a bunch of cute looking chrome stuff that makes thier bikes different looking and unique. but for the most part the additions are just useless chrome sparkley junk.

Therfore a Farkle is a add on to your bike that is actually functional in the operational or comfort areas.

So if you want to add some neon lights and a live to ride 4lb platter to the side of your engine that is a sparkle.

A fender extender, radiator guard, and bar risers are farkles.
