    Just going to look up farkle in my english dictionary :420:

    Hmm, never actually heard anyone use that word before...

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=farkle
    There are ...ahemmm... a couple of definitions in there...   :007:

    My only memories of Farkle is the Farkle family on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in in the 70's...  NOW I'm showing my age...   :164:

    I do fettling a lot in the winter. If I tell the wife I am going farkling I could be in big trouble.
    But hey, if it makes you happy Frenkie, that's good enough for me. Ride safe.

    Hehehe, you guys are a funny bunch, aren't you?  :001: I owned a lot of bikes before, but never a 4 cilinder. Always 1 and 2 cilinders bikes, mainly offroads and allroads. I traded my KTM 990 SMT in for this Honda, so coming from a big V-twin to my very first V4 is going to be ... fresh ? We'll see, but I have high hopes and I'm not afraid of a challenge.
    Altering or Farkling the bikes is what I really like to do. Huggers, extra lightning, chain-oilers etc, those are the standard kind of things we all do, i guess. right?

    Will be interested to learn what you find out about CR v SMT as you spend more time (farkling and riding) on the CR.

    Details of the new 2013 KTM Adventure 1200cc bike just coming out in UK and it is one to watch out for. SMT was nearly the last bike I went for but was too much of a naked for me.

    Will be one reason for a trip to UK Bike Show this year along with the Triumph Trophy.
