The origin of the term "hog", when referring to a Harley Davidson motorcycle, may have been from the HD’s racing team, "The Wrecking Crew".
(circa, early part of the 1900s)
They had a small pig as a mascot and race winner would do victory laps with the pig sitting on the bike’s gas tank.
In later years, HOG became the official acronym of the Harley Owners Group and is the trading symbol of Harley-Davidson on the New York Stock Exchange.
