My Valentine's Gift To ME??

Is this a Valentine's gift to me?  No, not really.  It is a necessary evil to protect that wonderful Ohlin's shock on the rear of my pretty bike.  It requires a shield of some sort to protect it from the elements, after all.  hehehe

I've been putting off its purchase for months now.  It shouldn't be put off any more.  So I have resigned myself to acquiring this disasterously ugly carbon fibre hugger.  I think this is the first true farkle I have purchased. 








Well...actually...it does have an important purpose, so it isn't a complete farkle.

    It may have a real purpose but it being made of carbon-fibre may make it a farkle. ;-)

    It looks more like a bad carbon-fibre toupee than a farkle to me. Wow, it's shiny and has sideburns. Certainly retro.

    You're speaking a different language there, BeemerGirl. Well, a different language than the one I was raised speaking, anyway. :)

    Glad you're enjoying the thing.

    Dear Beemer Girl (Lori):

    Anything purchased for a motorcycle is an absolute necessity. Please include a picture of the final installation. I think you should point to the installed carbon-fiber shield and explain to your husband that it is your Valentine's gift to him... As it could prevent a breakdown, and a threat to you, eliminating one more thing for him to worry about.

    Once he accepts this premise, you can get away with real murder.

    Fondest regards,

    Hi Richard!

    Yes. You are probably right. But that doesn't make it any less fun to look at. :) Yay! And it is useful! hehe

    Hi Keith,

    It looks better on the bike. So unobtrusive. Such a sleeper. And so shiny! ;)

    Hi David!

    Repeat after me: Huggers good. Carbon Fibre light and pretty. :) And don't even get me started on your language. I need a dictionary! But it does increase my vocabulary.

    Hi Jack!

    You are correct. We had the discussion concerning the benefits to him on the road on Sunday. I mean, it has already proven it's worth in keeping my shock dry and preventing more rocks from being kicked up on his bike. Not that he could keep up with me. ;) Pictures are on their way...posted on Flickr and working on the installation blog.

    Murder? I'd settle for a sneak attack to tickle. Murder is so final. Sneak attacks last.
