Harley-Davidson is fiercely protective of every part of their brand and one of the things that HD is noted for is the V-Twin engine. They have even tried to patent the sound of the engine. I would hate to see you guys having to spend time and money on this issue.

Yes, we have some stupid politicians....uh, I mean consumers, but seems like it is hard to confuse an airplane and a bike, well, they both make noise and are modes of transportaion...but, really?  Also, it could be solved potentially by using "Velocity-twin" and the abreation is not "official".  Ya never know.
