I have a pic of you and he here somewhere smoking stogies out front at the Ky rally.
I think he still has a Wing and recently picked up a VFR800. I know the pic; one of my faves.

“Stogie” = “Cigar” in Yankee slang
The question prompted me to do a Google search on the word’s origins. Seems that the name is related to Conestoga, Pennsylvania where both tobacco was grown and Conestoga Wagons were built. “Stogie” was a name given to the driver of a Conestoga Wagon and somehow the name was further attributed to the rather roughly made cigars that they smoked.
