LOS ANGELES, CA (Thursday, January 12, 2006) - EagleRider, the world's largest motorcycle rental and touring company, has just been named one of the top 500 franchises in the United States, in Entrepreneur Magazine's Franchise 500®. Beginning in the year 2000, EagleRider has been consistently present in the influential listing. Since last year, EagleRider has notably improved its position, moving from 474 to 395.

"We are proud to be featured in this year's edition of the Franchise 500®. EagleRider is a lifestyle service company that pioneered and developed a profitable niche business in the growing adventure travel industry. Most of the major motorcycle lifestyle manufacturing companies have experienced explosive growth and tremendous consumer interest over the last decade, now it's EagleRider's turn and mission to fulfill the travel needs of this growing motorcycle enthusiasts segment," said Chris McIntyre, EagleRider President.

"Franchising growth has been fueled by several factors. More people are realizing that purchasing an already successful and recognizable brand can reduce the risks of starting your own company. And more entrepreneurs are embracing franchising as a way to expand their existing business. The growth of franchising in 2005 is a positive sign for franchising in 2006 and beyond," according to Entrepreneur.
