******************* farkle: the addition of pretty accessories to one's motorcycle, especially to a Harlery Davidson, or other cruiser type motorcycle. as in "Bubba spent every dime he had adding farkle to his FLX/CHPR." MarkB (w/ well armamentariumed KLR650) ******************* I could be mistaken....but I think a 'Farkle' is an Accessory for the ST1100. I mention this only to hopefully eliminate the potential for 'Farkles' being bolted to any HD products resulting in panic, injury and/or serious death resulting from new found available speeds North of 85 MPH.

same root.] Etymological note: I believe the term is originally a Hodaka term, applied to stuff for your Combat Wombat, which spread first to the plain, or "non-combat" Wombat, and from there gained wider currency.
