A motorcycle that runs on bacon? Yes, BACON! And this bacon-powered motorcycle stars in a movie about a man, his motorcycle, and pork products.

Hormel foods recently partnered with a biodiesel company to refine bacon grease into fuel. The fuel was used in a converted diesel motorcycle (the 2011 Track T-800 CDI) to run the bacon-powered motorcycle all the way to the San Diego BaconFest and Film Festival.

The journey was recorded for the film, Driven By Bacon, “a web documentary about a man, his motorcycle, and pork products”.

This highly creative publicity stunt drew attention from bacon-lovers, motorcycle-lovers and alternative energy supporters across America. See the full story here:
