What is FarklePig

This is a place for me to reflect capture and express myself within the limits of my latest hobby my 2006 Kawasaki KLR 650. This blog is as much about my Pig (KLR) as it is about my experiences and expressions. I will try to better myself and my KLR as we explore new interests skills and motorcycle tech.

The name FarklePig is a combination of two words I see used a lot in the motorcycle community.

Farkle - The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of "function" and "sparkle", hence, farkle. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=farkle)

Pig - Term used to describe a big, heavy, slugish or off balance motorcycle. (Best guess within context used. Sorry no reference)

Combining these seemed to express exactly what my goal\perspective is with reagrd to my new bike. To make more functional and jazz up what many consider a solid but heavy and somewhat unattractive dual sport bike. The same could be said about my riding skills..for now.

I love my Pig. Now on to the dressing up part.
