Business

Last week's trivia answer

I was founded in 1901 by two Milwaukee men intent on "taking the work out of bicycling." (Back then you'd buy gas for my products a pint at a time, at drugstores.) Twenty-thousand of my products served in World War I. In 1965 I set a world land speed record of 177 mph. I'm known for teardrop-shaped gas tanks, "knucklehead" engines, "Fat Boys," and the Buell, Cagiva and MV Agusta brands. My stock price has accelerated some 16-fold over the last 20 years, I rake in more than $5 billion annually, and my ticker symbol is rather porcine. Who am I?

( Answer: Harley-Davidson )
