Yeppers, waiting for my farkles to arrive now....Happy Trails has shipped (skid plate and engine guard) as has the new GPS and RAM mount. Panniers and center stand are on order but not shipped yet. Can't wait. Free handguards that the dealer threw in arrived at the dealer yesterday - going to pick them up as soon as I finish my coffee.
The rest will be small stuff that I look forward to adding - the accessory plugs and stuff - which will be done with parts that I can pick up local.
But when everything is finished, I should have a FUN little dual sport for around 10k (+/-) that is capable of coast to coast chills, thrills (and hopefully no spills - but should have some protection if even that happens).
Far less than stock Beemer or any kind of cruiser that is capable of hauling my big butt. With the cost of the bike (new), the gas mileage and even the overall low cost of the farkles (a lot of sales going on right now - heck the GPS listed for almost $400 and picked it up new for less than 2 - you can pick them up for less than a $100 if you want),
I think the Wee is one of the most economical Dualsports there is on the market - if not THE most economical. Actually, not just one of the most economical dualsports, but one of the most economical bikes - period.
I had a set budget for a new bike and
ANY other bike would have required me to sell my Valkyrie and pay the difference. I was able to pick up the Wee, farkle it up (shhhhh, don't tell the wife) and still keep the Valk as a stable mate.
Sweet thing about the farkles is now, there is not much more I want to do as far as major stuff - bike should be set up in a couple of weeks for any major touring. The thing about other bikes (such as cruisers) is that you spend a TON (and I mean a TON) of money on BLING - not farkles. Chrome goodies that you have to polish constantly and don't really serve a purpose - other than reflect sunlight.
Let me go see if the Brown Santa has delivered any of my farkles today - let the farkling begin!!! Weeee-Heeee! (PS: Have I said how much I love this bike yet?) :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Pre farkled Wee....(The
Dark Shadow)
HEY!!
Blinged Valk (Traveller) - a lot more $$$$ and the Wee's stablemate.
