Did not mean to imply the term was exclusive to BMW Owners.I don't believe it is a uniquely BMW term, and I've only heard it in the context of adventure bikes (from all manufacturers). In general, when I was an adventure dude, I saw it used almost exclusively as a bit of a dig at folks spending money on 100 pounds worth of protection (bars, plates, blah blah) that were 95% road riders and only hit the occasional well maintained dirt/gravel road. Every other style of bike seems to just call it customization, upgrades, or speed parts.
I’d heard farkle in reference to both sport touring and adventure bikes, but not as a pejorative at least in the BMW MOA context. The dig on adventure riders was typically in regards to spotless bikes parked outside Starbucks.I don't believe it is a uniquely BMW term, and I've only heard it in the context of adventure bikes (from all manufacturers).
