The Motorcycle Book giveaway: one guaranteed bike and two sales-threshold prizes
Bikes and Beards promotes The Motorcycle Book with a chance at up to three bikes and $11,500 maximum cash. The matching publisher rules name Cedar & Stone Publishing House, LLC as sponsor. They guarantee one used 1990–1999 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy with $3,500 gross cash, combined ARV $13,500. The used 2006–2014 Yamaha Roadliner with $2,000 requires 5,000 qualifying book sales; the used/vintage 1986 Honda Z50RD Christmas Special with $6,000 requires 7,500. Unmet thresholds mean those packages are not awarded.
The publisher’s My Signed Copy storefront sells creator books, including Sean Kerr’s Motorcycle Book. Rules restrict qualifying book purchases and threshold sales to booksandbeards.com; purchases elsewhere are not assumed eligible. They list four book editions and two digital-poster/code tiers, despite a conflicting introductory route count. The digital offers are $24.99 for 125 entries and $49.99 for 500; complete edition prices were inaccessible during this review. No global minimum or numerical winning odds is inferred.
Free mail entry awards 600 chances per valid separately mailed card/envelope. The rules specify the personal/contact details, the sweepstakes title and the Conroe mailing address. Postmark is November 30 and receipt December 8, 2026. The entry period ends November 30 at 11:59:59 p.m. Central; random drawings are scheduled December 8, with conditional drawings dependent on their sales thresholds. Adults in 45 states and DC may enter, excluding Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, Michigan and New York, with further family/employee exclusions.
If you win: packages are indivisible and awarded as-is, with permitted comparable-unit/equal-or-greater substitutions. Rules require a ten-business-day response and affidavit/release/W-9 return, and licence/endorsement plus insurance before delivery. Winners bear freight, title/registration and taxes unless included. Cedar & Stone states it withholds 24% of combined package value from gross cash and requires any shortfall before release; listed cash is not a net payout. The maximum $44,000 pool is not one guaranteed award.
Prize details are as described by the sponsor and its official rules. WTW has not inspected or driven the vehicle.

7. PRIZES & SALES-BASED CONDITIONS There are three (3) prizes, each consisting of one motorcycle and one accompanying cash prize awarded together as a single prize package. Each prize package is expressly defined below as either guaranteed or conditional on cumulative sales of the featured book made through booksandbeards.com. By entering, each entrant acknowledges and agrees that the conditional prizes will be awarded ONLY if the stated sales thresholds are met by the stated outside dates, and that if a threshold is not met, the corresponding prize package will not be awarded to anyone. Prize 1 — GUARANTEED (awarded regardless of sales): One (1) 1990–1999 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle (used condition), Approximate Retail Value (“ ARV ”) $10,000.00 (based on recent auction sales and current listing prices), plus a cash prize of $3,500.00, awarded together with the motorcycle as a single, indivisible prize package with a combined total value of $13,500.00. The cash and the motorcycle together constitute a single prize; they will not be split, and a winner may not elect to receive only one component. Prize 1 will be awarded to a randomly selected eligible entrant regardless of sales, and will be drawn on December 8, 2026 as described in Section 6. Prize 2 — CONDITIONAL on 5,000 copies of the featured book sold through booksandbeards.com by November 30, 2026 : One (1) 2006–2014 Yamaha Roadliner motorcycle (used condition), Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) $5,000.00 (based on recent auction sales and current listing prices), plus a cash prize of $2,000.00, awarded together with the motorcycle as a single, indivisible prize package with a combined total value of $7,000.00. The cash and the motorcycle together constitute a single prize; they will not be split, and a winner may not elect to receive only one component. If the 5,000-copy threshold is not met by the outside date, Prize 2 will not be awarded to anyone. Prize 3 — CONDITIONAL on 7,500 copies of the featured book sold through booksandbeards.com by November 30, 2026 : One (1) 1986 Honda Z50RD Christmas Special motorcycle (used/vintage condition), Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) $17,500.00 (based on recent auction sales and current listing prices), plus a cash prize of $6,000.00, awarded together with the motorcycle as a single, indivisible prize package with a combined total value of $23,500.00. The cash and the motorcycle together constitute a single prize; they will not be split, and a winner may not elect to receive only one component. If the 7,500-copy threshold is not met by the outside date, Prize 3 will not be awarded to anyone. Total maximum value of all prizes offered (motorcycles and cash combined): $44,000.00. Each ARV is Sponsor’s good-faith determination and is final; any difference between the Approximate Retail Value and the actual value of a prize (however determined) will not be awarded or paid to the winner. No substitution, assignment, or transfer of a prize, and no transfer of status as a winner, by a winner is permitted, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value (including a cash equivalent) if the advertised motorcycle becomes unavailable. For any prize motorcycle that is a used or vintage vehicle, Sponsor may award a comparable unit or a substitute of equal or greater value if the specific vehicle described becomes unavailable. All prize-related expenses not expressly stated as included — including licensing, registration, insurance, title, freight, and taxes — are the responsibility of the winner. The winner is responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on the prize package. Each vehicle prize is awarded "AS IS," without any warranty or guarantee of any kind, express or implied (including as to mechanical condition, quality, or fitness for a particular purpose), and the winner assumes all risk relating to the prize after it is awarded. A vehicle prize may not meet the safety or emissions requirements of every state or locality; the winner is responsible for confirming and complying with applicable registration, inspection, safety, and emissions requirements before operating the vehicle. Motorcycle License and Insurance. Winner must provide proof of a valid motorcycle license or a driver’s license bearing a valid motorcycle endorsement, together with proof of insurance, before taking possession of a motorcycle prize. This requirement applies only at the time of prize delivery and is not, and has never been, a condition of entry or eligibility to win. If a winner cannot provide the required proof within thirty (30) days of the winner verification described in Section 9, then Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, permit the winner to designate another individual to receive the entire prize package (motorcycle and cash together), provided that individual independently satisfies all eligibility, licensing, insurance, and tax requirements applicable to the original winner. No partial allocation of the prize package between the original winner and a designee is permitted; the prize package is awarded as a whole. Sponsor will not release a motorcycle prize to any person without proof of a valid motorcycle license or endorsement and proof of insurance.

5. RETURNS, REFUNDS & ANTI-FRAUD It is fraudulent to purchase a product for the purpose of obtaining entries with the intent to return or cancel that purchase after the Sweepstakes ends. If a qualifying purchase is returned, refunded, cancelled, or charged back at any time, the entries associated with that purchase will be void; if such entries are voided after a drawing in which the entrant was selected, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify the entrant and select an alternate. Because the free method confers the same maximum number of entries, an entrant whose purchase entries are voided may remain eligible through a valid free entry, if submitted. Sponsor may disqualify and permanently ban from all future Sponsor promotions any entrant it identifies or reasonably suspects of fraudulent activity in connection with the Sweepstakes, and Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies against any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. GENERAL CONDITIONS If the Sweepstakes cannot run as planned due to causes beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control — including computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, or technical failure that corrupts the administration, security, fairness, or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes, or fire, flood, natural or man-made epidemic or pandemic, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy, satellite or equipment failure, riot or civil disturbance, terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared), or any federal, state, or local government law, order, or regulation, or order of any court of competent jurisdiction — Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual who: (i) tampers with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes; (ii) acts in violation of these Official Rules; or (iii) acts with the intent to disrupt or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes, or to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person, and to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend the Sweepstakes and award the prizes from among eligible, non-suspect entries in a manner consistent with these Official Rules and applicable law. Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.

9. AFFIDAVIT, RELEASE & TAX REPORTING As a condition of receiving any prize, a potential winner must complete, sign, and return within the stated period of ten (10) business days a combined Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and Publicity Release (the publicity-release portion applying only where permitted by law), together with a completed IRS Form W-9 providing the winner’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Each prize package has a combined fair market value (motorcycle ARV plus cash) exceeding $5,000. Because each prize package includes a cash component, Sponsor will withhold from the cash portion of the prize package an amount equal to twenty-four percent (24%) of the total combined fair market value of the prize package (motorcycle ARV plus cash), and will remit the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service as required by Internal Revenue Code Section 3402(q). If the cash portion of the prize package is insufficient to cover the full withholding obligation, then the winner must pay the difference to Sponsor before Sponsor will release the motorcycle. Sponsor will report the full fair market value of each prize package on IRS Form 1099-MISC (or such other form as the IRS may require) and will furnish a copy to the winner. The winner is solely responsible for all resulting federal, state, and local taxes on the prize package, including any taxes in excess of the amount withheld. Sponsor makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of any prize and recommends that each winner consult a qualified tax advisor. A potential winner who fails to return the required documents, including a valid Form W-9, by the stated deadline may be disqualified and forfeit the prize, in which case Sponsor may select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries. If a winner does not furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, then backup withholding at 24% will apply to the cash portion of the prize package regardless of the combined prize value. Where a Publicity Release is prohibited or restricted by the law of the winner’s state, publicity consent will not be required as a condition of winning.

9. AFFIDAVIT, RELEASE & TAX REPORTING As a condition of receiving any prize, a potential winner must complete, sign, and return within the stated period of ten (10) business days a combined Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and Publicity Release (the publicity-release portion applying only where permitted by law), together with a completed IRS Form W-9 providing the winner’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Each prize package has a combined fair market value (motorcycle ARV plus cash) exceeding $5,000. Because each prize package includes a cash component, Sponsor will withhold from the cash portion of the prize package an amount equal to twenty-four percent (24%) of the total combined fair market value of the prize package (motorcycle ARV plus cash), and will remit the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service as required by Internal Revenue Code Section 3402(q). If the cash portion of the prize package is insufficient to cover the full withholding obligation, then the winner must pay the difference to Sponsor before Sponsor will release the motorcycle. Sponsor will report the full fair market value of each prize package on IRS Form 1099-MISC (or such other form as the IRS may require) and will furnish a copy to the winner. The winner is solely responsible for all resulting federal, state, and local taxes on the prize package, including any taxes in excess of the amount withheld. Sponsor makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of any prize and recommends that each winner consult a qualified tax advisor. A potential winner who fails to return the required documents, including a valid Form W-9, by the stated deadline may be disqualified and forfeit the prize, in which case Sponsor may select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries. If a winner does not furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, then backup withholding at 24% will apply to the cash portion of the prize package regardless of the combined prize value. Where a Publicity Release is prohibited or restricted by the law of the winner’s state, publicity consent will not be required as a condition of winning.

If a winner cannot provide the required proof within thirty (30) days of the winner verification described in Section 9, then Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, permit the winner to designate another individual to receive the entire prize package (motorcycle and cash together), provided that individual independently satisfies all eligibility, licensing, insurance, and tax requirements applicable to the original winner. No partial allocation of the prize package between the original winner and a designee is permitted; the prize package is awarded as a whole. Sponsor will not release a motorcycle prize to any person without proof of a valid motorcycle license or endorsement and proof of insurance.
