Kid Rock's deal with Harley-Davidson 'Just Makes Sense'

MADISON, Wis. - Kid Rock says his new partnership with Harley-Davidson is a dream deal, and as the owner of multiple Harley bikes, he didn't feel like he was compromising his integrity or risking a backlash from fans.

The Milwaukee-based motorcycle maker is sponsoring Kid Rock's upcoming tour, named for his most recent release, ‟Rebel Soul.”

The partnership announced Monday also includes an exclusive line of limited- edition, cobranded Rebel Soul merchandise featuring a line from the song: ‟I can't hear you over the rumble of my freedom.”

Kid Rock said Tuesday the deal ‟just makes sense” because Harley is ‟something I've used that I've loved for a long time before this deal came about.”

The tour begins Friday in Kansas City and will end Aug. 31 at Harley's 110th anniversary celebration in Milwaukee.
