Foolish Trivia

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

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 m.p.h. 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 about 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?

Last Week's Trivia Answer: I trace my history back to 1871 and a steam-powered rock drill. In the 1920s, my jackhammer drills and air compressors worked on Mount Rushmore. Today, headquartered in New Jersey, I'm a global diversified industrial firm, with businesses including Club Car golf cars, Hussmann stationary refrigeration equipment, Schlage locks, Thermo King transport temperature-control equipment, and Trane air conditioning systems and services. (I bought Trane in 2008 for $10 billion.) I've paid dividends each year since 1910. I raked in more than $13 billion in revenue in 2008. My name reflects a 1905 merger. Who am I?
