became synonomous with the Harley brand. I had always assumed that it was a reference to
the hefty size, sluggish handling, and bad behavior of the stereotype earlier models.
Since my lovely wife positively assures me that I'm not hefty, I'm not a slug, and I don't
behave badly, then the name
"HOG" couldn't possibly pertain to me even though I now own one.
I think I'll keep both my HOG and my wife.
