Since the launch of this site, several people have asked us why the name Piglet Paper? So here’s the story:
Both Ronn and I have submitted to the fact that Pulchritude is really the boss of this site and that it really revolves around her. She is a Harley and, as you may know, Harley’s are commonly referred to as Hogs, following suit with H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group). So in case you have ever wondered why people call a Harley a Hog, that’s why!
Well, Pulchritude is a Sportster, and is the smallest bike that Harley makes. We just didn’t think she was big enough to be a Hog, so we refer to her as a Piglet. And her name Pulchritude (pronounced pul kri tyood) means amazing beauty.
Hence, the story of how Pulchritude got her name and how our site came to be named Piglet Paper.
You can read more about her, us, and our crazy logic in the Who Are We? section of our site.
A correction here for Lisa who got a little carried away.
The association of ‘hogs’ to Harley-Davidson actually started in 1920 when the Harley racing team started carrying their mascot, a pig, on a victory lap after every win .
H.O.G., for Harley Owner’s Group, started in 1983 and simply takes advantage of this common association.
