Try these couple of 2013 Iron Butt Rally setups for size:



For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Impressive gadgets. But these days I try and go for the understated look with minimal add ons, but same functionality.  It is hard to stick with less is more though....more is more!

All amateurs I say.  This Goldwing riders in the US has one of the best two wheel set ups I have ever seen.  Check out the whole story cause this bike has more Farkles and THREE, yes 3 batteries added to run them all. 



Read through the whole story, and then look at the picture of his storage form the overhead perspective and count the bikes in the background.  This is the type of storage shed EVERY man wants, including some of the toys in there.

This what Farkling is about. 

Edited cause I moved the photo in Photobucket.

Wow  :eek It would be cheaper to buy a car instead of converting a bike into one.
It really does destroy the simple feeling of enjoying the open road.

I'd endorse that.  I've caught myself drifting in my lane while trying to skip a song in the GPS.
And that's with 10% of what he's looking at.
