Anyone remember where the term "HOG" came from in reference to Harley Davidson ?

Hey Jack, Just saw a show on tv tonight! They said it came from back in the early 1900s, when the HD raceing team would win a race they would make a victory lap holding a pig so the got to be known as hogs!

You got it... My Dad was an officer with the Peoria Motorcycle Club, and they would keep a pig on hand for the end of the TT races at their track. That was during the late 40's as far as I can remember.

I don't even watch television as I an afraid " they " could be watching me and as a matter of fact I hooked up the monitor for this computer to a mirror in the next room on an angle so I cannot be viewed but I can view it. I knew that answer and posted it on facebook when someone asked the same question sometime today. My whole house on the outside has Aluminum foil attached so I won't get spied on

Joey..."they" are still watching you. And I don't think they like what they see. Better sleep with one eye open tonight.
Just in case...it's been nice knowing you.

AND............
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2010 when...
1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :-)
12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
14. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list .
