That would have been an acceptable word choice, too!

Never heard it when referring to a HD, but the kids use Twinkie when referring to yellow school buses with white roofs

Not at all,Evo's were also called Blockheads,as was all the Harley twins carrying multiple names. One I always enjoyed was a Harley leaving it's mark when they were total loss oiling systems.
The really big inch motors if run hard will leave their mark like back in the good old days when life seemed so much simpler.

Evo's are block heads, twinkies are fat heads.

I have a Twin Cam, Softail, 88.
Twinkie? No, I dont have that.
JMHO
My prior bike was an '06....so yeah a Twinkie.
And I used to refer to it as that too.
Didn't bother me.

Prior to the twinkie was the Evo.
Never saw those shirts or stickers...."Hear no Evo, See no Evo"?

Put me down for hating it. It doesn't make any sense to me, since I don't even think of anything bike wise when I see the word. Just a nice, sweet pastry!

But it's not even the only word/phrase I hate...

I just think of Woody Harrelson in Zombieland willing to die to taste that sweet creamy goodness.
