In addition, Foremost sponsors a number of professional motorcycle racers, including Larry Pegram in AMA Superbike and motorcycle land-speed record holder, Leslie Porterfield.
"Foremost is more than an insurance company that provides coverage for motorcycles, we are a part of the industry." says Randy Slotten, marketing director, Foremost Insurance Group. "We wanted two things out of a Foremost branded custom motorcycle: a unique, hand-built bike that we could be proud of and a custom shop that shared our ideals to deliver it. By working with Darwin Motorcycles, we got both."

The chopper we're building for Foremost is no exception, it's a perfect example of what we refer to as industrial elegance."
