The original term was from Big Poppa for his loving way of addressing all of us. We are indeed a bunch of Knuckleheads.

Then there are the Canuckleheads. Our Canadian brothers.

 

[Big Poppa]

Yes I called you guys knuckleheads and it was funny that people took offense to it...not it just seems right!

 

[Mogee]

I used to have a 1936 Harley with a side car. 1936 was the first year for HD´s Knucklehead engine.

Harley-Davidson Knucklehead engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don´t mind being a knucklehead. Loved that old thing....

Only about 4 original -36 HD knuckles running still on the planet to my knollage. One in Finland, one in Sweden and two in USA. Mine was in a box taken apart when I bought it. Restored it. Beautiful. I was offered more money that I could refuse about a year later so I sold it.

So what do we learn from this? Knucklehead´s are precious and beautiful things.

Better than being a bonehead or sh*thead. A knucklehead is a person who shows a great deal of determination. I take that to be a good thing.
