That was so easy, I would classify that as a pretty whimpy spine.

Well that did it... Nothing like unimpeachable empirical evidence/fact to change the argument landscape..

So, based on precedent, Thumpers are not twins - Thumpers are singular.. And it follows that this also rules out triplets, and quadruplets..

Thanks for solving this problem @elan23 ..

Hey, @greychinos , you can come back now, thanks to Bambi, we figured it out...

However, since we’ve gone there already, I seem to recall H-D themselves actually trying (unsuccessfully) to patent their distinct “potato-potato-potato” sound many years ago.
Yeah, and they know they're gonna dig through a bunch of petrified crap to get to it too.

Thing is there's only about three paragraphs of relevant material that can be had on gearing and most of it can be found by doing a simple google search. So what do we do with the rest of the thread? We screw around going off topic. A way of life. The train of thought wanders off multiple directions.

By your definition, every 2 smoker is a thumper. Is that the way it is, no!
Now bring the word salad twisting every fact around in circles to get the world aligned with your demented interpretation of the world.
Nah, I was using your logic. I still go with history. Single cylinder four stroke bikes were referred to as thumpers long before I was born and that was 1953. I'm not sure, but it may have started in the UK with all the big singles built over the decades.

I did a search for "who coined the term thumper for motorcycles" click here to see the results, some from very reliable sources including the American Motorcyclist Association.. Last word on my part on the subject guys... I promise

Thumpers are called thumpers cause they sound that way, same as HD's. Otherwise 2 smokers would all be called thumpers, and they are not!
I'm done here, you guys got your heads in the sand and I can't take your sillyness any more. I'm taking my ball and going home. Where is my bat, I'm taking that too!
