Motorcycle for sale traveled across America

A few days ago, the American Eric Pearson completed the Transamerica mileage on a motorcycle, dressed with lard. 113 pounds of bacon stored for this purpose, were processed to biofuels technology developed by engineer Charlie Smithson. To implement his vision, he enlisted the support of companies "Bio-Blend Fuels and Hormel", which saw the rally in pork fat a great opportunity to be efficient is biofuel.





Eric Pearson is quite famous in the USA biker, and part-time actor. Start your way to "Ekonomika" in Texas, he led continuous video of an unusual journey, in which he helped the film crew who journey with him.
