    Harley-Davidson motorcycles- HOG

    The ‘Hog’ Nickname Came from a Real Hog

    A lot of people who ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles lovingly refer to their preferred method of transport as a ‘hog’. This term originates from a group of farm boys who often raced on their motorcycles in the 1920s. They had a pig for a mascot and would even take him for victory rides after winning a race. Harley-Davidson embraced the term, and even formed the acronym H.O.G. to stand for Harley Owners Group. They also tried to trademark the term but were denied as it was too commonly used to refer to other brands of motorcycles. However, they did manage to change their NYSE demarcation from HDI to HOG in 2006.

    Filming on the new James Bond movie (not called Shatterhand) has been shut down by Health and Safety inspectors after an over-vigorous gas explosion injured a crew member. Bond has met his match in HSE inspectors armed with briefcases, it seems.
