    I have found out what Farkle means

    I hate you
    My Wallet hates you
    My wife when she finds out will hat you too

    Had to google it but I like it.

    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

    The term is well known in the sport touring community.

    An enthusiast may be in the process of "farkling". The completed motorcycle would be all "farkled up". Radar detectors, Global Positioning System receivers, heated grips, and satellite radios are some of those farkles. Other accessories could be aftermarket seats, side and/or top cases or bar risers, which make the motorcycle more suitable for long miles.

    My Missus and me have been farkling ours since we got it and the list is long but nearly there
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    my bike came with a bunch of them - stuff I would not have done like the Triumph accessory ano brake reservoirs and stuff like that... it also had the front cowl and flyscreen. But the big money I spent has been in lieu of trading the old girl: Ohlins TTX36 shock, fork rebuild* by KSS, Arrow lowboy zorst and a bunch of other stuff like CRG levers and a fender extender and radiator guard. Oh, and a Triumph grab rail: I have taken the passenger footpegs off it but the grabrail is good for putting it on the axle stand.

    It goes adequately now, just not enough.

    *currently mulling over a set of Ohlins cartridges for it.
