Origin of "Hog" nickname Beginning in 1920, a team of farm boys, including Ray Weishaar, who became known as the "hog boys," consistently won races. The group had a hog, or pig as their mascot. Following a win, they would put the pig (a real one) on their Harley and take a victory lap.[65] In 1983, the Motor Company formed a club for owners of its product taking advantage of the long-standing nickname by turning "hog" into the acronym H.O.G., for Harley Owners Group. Harley-Davidson attempted to trademark "hog", but lost a case against an independent Harley-Davidson specialist, The Hog Farm of West Seneca, NY, [66] in 1999 when the appellate panel ruled that "hog" had become a generic term for large motorcycles and was therefore unprotectable as a trademark. [67] On August 15, 2006, Harley-Davidson Inc. had its NYSE ticker symbol changed from HDI to HOG. [68] |

Its Harley Time |
Every Time |
New Harley slogan: 'So screw it, let's ride' “It's not the destination, it's the journey.” Harley-Davidson has a message for those bummed out by bad economic news: "So screw it, let's ride." Minneapolis ad firm Carmichael Lynch created the Milwaukee-based motorcycle maker's new slogan. |
