A motorcycle has been designed to run on organic biodiesel fuel that is made from converted bacon grease.

The Hormel Company's "Driven by Bacon" project is up for the roads of Sturgis, South Dakota, the Washington Times reported.

The project organizers said that the exhaust smelled like bacon so people would thank them if they cruise past them and added that this bacon biodiesel was nearly carbon-neutral, meaning it would contribute almost zero emissions to global warming.
