Misc. Stealing a new term from adventure motorcycling: Farkle

[DaveMueller]

A few years ago, I attended a local Jeep gathering. I was the only CJ in sight, so I drove right out the other side of the parking lot.
The wife and I are adding adventure bikes to our touring arsenal and I came across the term "farkle". It perfectly describes the gathering I went to, I think we should adopt it for Jeep usage.

If you’ve spent much time around sport-touring or adventure-touring riders, you’ve likely heard a strange term being tossed casually around, typically at

ridermagazine.com

If we're doing bikes also, here's my homemade chopper. 80" Harley EVO, rigid frame, springer front end, drag pipes, no gauges at all, ignition and rear fender (for a trailer) from Tractor Supply, other swap meet and eBay parts. Yes, Jeep windshield down almost like riding the bike.

Great looking bike! But, rigid tail... Ouch on the tail bone...

Couple Advil an hour before the ride is all that is needed.

Bump and grind! Ride it out...

Real men ride hard tails.

I don't ride at all. Way to many flakes around here distracted by their phone

Phones be distracting...

I don't hate the term, I add useful items but not flashy useless stuff.
