Where did the word "Farkles" come from in the biking world ?. It wasn't until 5 years when i started to join M/C forums that this word popped up. To me, it's aftermarket parts or accessories. Is Farkles an American word?
Google tells me that "A Farkle can be a combination of fart and chuckle, an involuntary fart caused by laughter. It may also refer to a fart that is trapped by clothing and “travels” between the legs to be emitted from beneath the genitals. A Farkle can be a red-headed person with pale skin and freckles".Is this Edd Sheeran? :lol:
Or "How did Farkle get its name?
"the game Farkle was derived from the Farkleberry tree, a small tree native to Texas. When the early settlers came to Texas, they discovered the Farkleberry would harden as it dried. The settlers carved these berries into the shape of dice so that they might play games."

So Do I have to dye my hair, play the guitar and have a good fart? While playing with dice. Or would i go outside for a good ring-ripping Farkle :oops:

I was under impression that at my age you don't learn much new things anymore. I'm glad I was wrong. I think. :mrgreen:

You never stop learning but to me a Farkle is a little ginger person who farts a lot. Can you call these Farkles? :yay:

It has alternately been described as a mix of the words “function” and “sparkle,”
Like sprinkling glitter all over to make one’s bike sparkle.
