Google reagan imposes stiff tariff motorcycles
"Hog" is slang for Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Reagan slapped a tariff on Japanese motorcycles with engines 750cc and up. Since the smallest H-D engine was (is? I don't keep up.) 883cc, this tariff protected H-D motorcycles exclusively.
By saying "hog," SP is letting us know that she is one of the cool kids.
Full disclosure: if you could see how I'm dressed, you'd know I'm not one of the cool kids. Actually, there are several ways you'd be able to figure that out.

The tariffs applied only to motorcycles made overseas, Japanese bikes certainly, and probably Italian and German bikes too. It's been a few years.
