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. 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, in 1999 when the appellate panel ruled that "hog" had become a generic term for large motorcycles and was therefore unprotectable as a trademark

Why are Harley Davidsons called hogs?
Nearly a century ago, Harley's racing team, the Wrecking Crew, had a small pig as a mascot and one of the riders would do victory laps with the pig sitting on the bike's gas tank. This earned the riders the nickname "hogs" and eventually people referred to the bikes as hogs, too. Legend has it that this was the origin of the term "hog" when referring to a Harley.
