We’ve all heard the phrase, ‘bring home the bacon’, but now Austin based Hormel is bringing home the bacon and turning it into motorcycle fuel.

It is the definition of a one of a kind – a diesel motorcycle that runs solely on bacon grease.

Now, Hormel needs to come up with a grill or griddle on the bike that COOKS bacon and drains the bacon grease to the fuel tank!

It's self-perpetuating - you eat bacon, you fill up on fuel at the same time!  What is not to love?
