All-time best street bike ever built. Introduced by Harley Davidson in 1957 to combat the invading British Triumphs, Nortons and BSAs on the track and on the street. The best selling middleweight motorcycle in history.
Unique among Harleys, the Sportster engine and transmission are in one case, whereas the so-called Big Twins have a seperate transmission case. Pre 1986 Sportsters featured iron heads and are called (DUH!) Ironheads. '86 to present are the next generation Evolution, or Evo, Sportster and feature alloy heads and a 5-speed transmission. The most recent models feature rubber-mounted engines.
Sportster-based motorcycles have dominated flat-track racing since the late 1960s. Many early choppers and customs were built from Sportsters, as well as land speed record bikes.
Calling a Sportster a "girl's bike" or "Shortster" may result in a visit to a dentist.

Lots of Yuppie Softail wankers ignore the fact an 883 Sportster makes almost as many horses as their Evo Big Twin, but the Sporty is two hundred pounds lighter. No contest, Sportsters kick ass!

Any object, such as a rock, stick, shoe or butterknife used as an emergency or field-expedient tool. From the old TV series "Then Came Bronson" when Bronson (Michael Parks) uses a rock to pound dents out of his bike's fender and gas tank.

A two-pound dead-blow hammer, often mistaken for a rubber mallet. The primary tool of the hacks at Orange County Choppers, especially Paulie. Chiefly used for axle installation, engine/transmission alignment and primary cover installation.
Properly used, an OCC wrench is a useful tool that one occasionally needs for stubborn, rusty old parts, not shiny new ones that should slide together if one knows what they are doing.

I have been a motorcycle mechanic for ten years, and have never needed the OCC wrench to put in an axle.
Look, that idiot Paulie dinged that primary with the OCC wrench!

North American Arms, manufacturer of tiny, palm-sized .22 single-action revolvers and most recently auto-loading pistols in .32 and .380. High quality, stainless steel and pocket-size.
The NAA mini-revolver would not be considered a doom cock.
