The word "farkle" is conspicuously absent from dictionary.com. A search on my preferred site for the true meaning of all words - urbandictionary.com - reveals that "farkle" is a combination of the words "function" and "sparkle," with its origins traced to a 1997 Honda ST1100 rally.
The answer, of course, is that an RLET is in fact a "farkle." The true question being, what then, is a "farkle"? "Function" clearly refers to having a purpose while "sparkle" denotes an unnecessary but visually pleasing addition. What else comes to mind when viewed in that way? Why, a wedding ring, naturally.
Unnecessary in the true sense of the word yet serving a well accepted function of publicly and privately symbolizing the union, commitment and devotion between loving partners. Isn't an RLET just that? Aren't we, by gracefully slipping an RLET onto our beloved CBs, privately and publicly professing our undying love and devotion?
It is a farkle. As much as a wedding ring is a farkle. Let us not use that word so lightly. Ghis, do you love your CB? Do you promise to honor her in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, during the long cold winters of discontent as well as the joyful days of spring? Is she the one you will treasure forever? if so, what are you waiting for man?! Put an RLET on her and make her an honest motorcycle!
