A motorcycle fueled by bacon sizzles across America

Due to the high price of gas, taking a road trip across the United States is pretty expensive. That is — unless you find another way to fuel your journey.

Enter the first motorcycle powered by bacon. As if the crispy delicacy wasn’t already great enough, now you can use it for gas.

There is currently a bacon-fueled motorcycle making its way across the United States. Driven by a bearded biker named Eric Pierson, the bike’s final stop is theSan Diego Bacon Fest on Aug. 30.

This sizzling ride was created by Hormel Foods Corp. to promote its Black Label bacon, and we have to say, this marketing idea is quite clever. The motorcycle has made numerous stops along the road, and each step of the trip has been documented on the Tumblr “Driven by Bacon.” Eric and his hog, fueled by hogs, started this journey at Hormel headquarters in Austin, Minn., before passing through Sturgis, S.D., Wyoming, Reno, Nev., and the Cache County Fair in Logan, Utah.
