I looked up the list to see what college hockey arena is on there… and from the picture, I can certainly understand why the rink that’s there is.

is it UVM?

I’ll guess the arena is Yale’s. Super cool looking by a really famous architect.

5. Harley Davidson

Both wild guesses.

5. Harley Davidson. It is from the V twin orientation and both cylinders on the same crankpin. This is more so about the older engine lines exhaust sound. Shovelheads to be exact. Evos some, but the Twin Cam & now the Milwaukee 8 are all fuel injected & computerized.

And, they still try to replicate the sound as much as they can, even with the new technology.

I think that the MoCo has a patent on the sound. Well, that’s the urban myth.

Sportys, old ones, had it too. V- Rods with the water cooled Porsche designed engine, not at all. Then the V-Rod rockets weren’t real Hogs.😮

Urban legend is correct.

In 1994, they applied for a trademark on the sound, but withdrew the application in 2000, with no ruling having been made.

I had no idea Minneapolis/St-Paul almost had an AFL team.

Bills and Broncos. Jets were originally the “Titans”

I had no idea Minneapolis/St-Paul almost had an AFL team.

Yeah, strange situation. The NFL had opposed any kind of expansion for a long time to keep existing franchise values high. So eight franchises got together to form the AFL, including a team from Minneapolis-St. Paul. Then the NFL began offering teams to AFL franchises, hoping if they get two to join, the rest of the AFL would fold. On the eve of the first AFL Draft, which was held in Minneapolis, it was reported that the Minneapolis group would be joining the NFL, which is how the Vikings came to be. Minnesota still selected a team at the AFL Draft, and that team became the Oakland Raiders.
