Default Twinkie

Hello Everyone,

I'm fairly new here, still trying to get my bike up and running.
Anyways, as I was looking around the forum I noticed a thread talking about Twinkies (bikes).

Can you explain to me, exactly what I Twinkie bike is.
Thanks.

You would think H-D would try to trademark that, but I guess they don't like that term. Don't know why? Everyone loves a Twinkie. They have a shelf life of 100 years. Haha..

ok, thanks for the info.
I don't have a twin cam, so I'm good to go.

texashillcountry is correctamundo. Unless you are a metric bike rider. Then they think all Harleys are twinkies. Mistakenly because of the v-twin cylinders. That is what I have gleaned from metric bike forums.
