Farkel Clock
11/15/07 at 15:08:10

Having found it difficult to glance at my watch when I have on my riding jacket and gauntlet gloves, I added this guy to my handlebar:

Here it is from a different view:

Esthetically, it provides visual balance both to the brake reservoir on the right side of the handlebars and the round gas cap on the right side of the tank. And it even tells the time!

And there's free shipping till Xmas!

You know.... I was kinda thinking the same thing! What's up with the sticker? Does it say "A warning?" Maybe it's a poem?

I suspect a single edged razor blade isn't the best way, though it would be effective. ???

"Never Heard Of"...How to remove stickers Tongue

When you use the hairdryer, just start on a corner and pick at it with your finger nail. Then just gently peel it up as the heat softens the adhesive. Don't overheat it. Chances are that a clear layer of the sticker will come off first. Spray it with a little WD40 too, and whatever you do, don't use anything rougher than a microfiber cloth to clean it off...not with that nice shiny tank Grin

I see "Missouri" plates.

While an elegant solution, let me inform you on the proper way to tell time, MO style.

If you live on a farm and are on your motorcycle...look up at the sky. The sun will be out between hours of 7-7 in summer.

If you's fancy city-folk...dig around in that pocket with clutch hand and dig out cell phone. Time displayed

Hit a button and it'll light up

Looks good.
