Nige,
No, the Harley Owners Group did not create the term HOG. This term has
been around for a long, long time. Mostly, it was due to their large size that
caused them to be called Hogs. They can hog up a lot of money, too.
Interestingly, when America called up its troops in World War I, it also
called upon Harley-Davidson to produce dispatch and scouting vehicles. During
World War II Uncle Sam utilized all of Harley-Davidson's manufacturing
capabilities to produce more than 90,000 motorcycles for the armed forces of
America and its allies.
