The Allstate Mobile Garage tour is an interactive classroom developed by the insurer to teach motorcycle rally attendees the latest in motorcycle design and safety, and about Allstate motorcycle insurance features and benefits.
The Tour will travel cross-country making stops at some of the nation's most noted and historic rallies through November. In addition to the Tour's expanded schedule, the Chicago-based company also announced it has again entered into a partnership deal with Tommy "Clutch" Creal, CEO and Owner of Chopper College, a Chicago-area training school that combines course work with the hands-on application of proper motorcycle building techniques. Clutch and his gang of "professors" will join select events during the 2008 Tour to conduct live chopper building demonstrations, encourage crowd interaction and discuss the best ways to keep riders and their bikes protected on behalf of the insurer.

"You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame."
