We don't call them Blockheads anymore? When did that happen? Man, I never got the memo. We should have a mailing list or something.
I think you can still get a "Blockhead" patch at the rallies. I used to see them all the time. Never really bothered to pay that much attention. I do have a large Evo/Blockhead motor on the back of my vest, underneath the Reaper.

While we're on the subject of mileage, I'd be curious to know who else on the forum has an Evo with over 100,000 on the clock, and what you've had to replace over the years?? There's not too many other brands of bikes out there that can boast of 100,000+ mileage bikes still going strong!

I remember reading a magazine article where the writer said the engine should be called a Blockhead.
Don`t remember who the writer was, but I decided right then I wasn`t going to call the engine a Blockhead just because some magazine guy thought he coined the phrase.
I didn`t think the name ever caught on...

I understand this. I've been trying to get used to the look of that motor for 10 years, and I just can't. To me, the proportions are all off- sorta like one of those illustrations of a Harley done by an artist who has no real idea of what a Harley looks like, but had to draw one anyway. From the side, the Twinkie looks too wide and squat.
