Today, in partnership with three of the country’s top motorcycle builders, Allstate Insurance Company announced the unveiling of four custom motorcycle creations inspired by the company, one of which will be given away as the grand prize in a national sweepstakes. The unveiling is a milestone within the motorcycle industry, marking the first-ever collaboration between legendary builders Arlen Ness, Rick Fairless and Dave Perewitz.
“These four beautiful and elaborate creations tell a unique story about our motorcycle product, industry innovations and rider advocacy efforts,” said Keith Rutman, vice president of Allstate’s Consumer Household unit. “All of these attributes – including safety, customization and advocacy aim to make the world a better place to ride.”
The customs, which are part of this historic collaborative effort, each bear unique themes that mirror the distinguished styles of the builders, while reflecting Allstate’s dedication to protection.
“Rick, Dave and I have distinct differences in our styles,” said Ness. “But in the end, we were able to come together with one goal in mind – the rider.”
The bikes will be on display during Daytona Bike Week at the Allstate Rider Protection Zone located at Daytona International Speedway (1801 W. International Speedway Blvd.), which opened Friday, March 9, and then will travel to other major motorcycle rallies across the country during 2012, including:
