Don't feel bad. It's not your fault. There is a top secret substance mixed into the bike's fluids. When the smallest amount touches your clothing or skin you get the disease. FARKLITUS. It's a serious affliction with no known cure.

Check out this link for my own symptoms. I've subsequently added the Vstrom handguards, a V46 topbox and an espresso maker.

I'm not sure if it's so much the bike as it is this forum. I wouldn't know 90% of this stuff existed without FJRForum.com.

Definitely don't feel bad - you should see the list of farkles I put on my GL1800 and it will make you feel better!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Help, I believe that I too have caught FARKLITUS. I am buying things already for my bike and it won't be here until may, and its all the fault of you people on the forum.

The BAD news:

Farklitus is expensive and chronic.

The GOOD news:

It's not fatal, and unless your spouse sees the visa bill it can be a helluva lot of fun.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

+1

I'd probably have a sticky thermometer and that's about it.

So true. When my riding buddy Steve came over to show me his new Corbin Smuggler (which I too later bought), he had me snap a photo, which I promised to email him later. I got a frantic phone call when he got home: "Lee! Whatever you do, do NOT email that photo! My wife and I share an email address, and if she finds out I bought something else for the bike, she'll kill me."

I guess that's considered blackmail material, huh? :devil:

Saddle bag reflectors

Sitting in boxes to install during the winter:

Only must have on the list for next year (other than some apparel updates):

Plan to muck around with:

Hydration system

I guess it's pretty clear that I've gone the comfort/safety route. I've got more riding to do before I push the performance envelope on this thing. And, man, am I glad it's starting to look like it'll be commuting weather in PA next week.

 

[Sherman]

[chornbe]

Farklitis is a hideous, insidious, dangerous affliction. It comes from having internet access and too much available free time and disposable income. I know; I have way more of both now than I did in my earlier motorcycling years. Many, many years ago I rode a '76 CB750-A (full dressed) around for 4 years. The only "farkle" I added to it was a new set of grips and a towel under the seat so I could wipe down the seat in the rain

I've bought 7 bikes since 2003 and only one of them got away (so far! - the wife's burgman) without any addons and farkles.

I'm a sick, sick man and I need help.

 

[DrBunsen]

Let's go down the list:

Skyway's sliders

Hmmm.... Judging from this thread it might be ME that has something wrong with him. (Wait - do "bugs on the front" count as a farkle? I've got lots of those!)

I used to have disposable income, but I got an FJR+farklitis, and disposed of it.

The only known cure for the sickness, is to become a member of a peer group with all the same symptoms and then you will be considered normal by your peers. B)

I found the cure - it is called crashing and totalling your FJR. :dribble:
