Sep. 27, 2011

Atlanta, Indiana - On Sept. 26, the first reverse trike in Orange County Choppers (OCC) history premiered on the popular hit TV show, American Chopper. Beck's Hybrids commissioned OCC to build a commemorative chopper that resembles a corn picker and honors the American farmer. The first of two episodes featured the complicated fabrication of the reverse trike. Watch the final build of the most unique chopper in the agriculture industry on Oct. 3 at 9:00 p.m. EST. Episode one of the Beck's Hybrids build will air again on Oct. 3 at 8:00 p.m. EST.

The Beck's Hybrids custom built Orange County Choppers motorcycle was unveiled on July 28, in front of nearly 1,000 customers, dealers and employees. A second bike was built to raise money for the We Care for Orphans Adoption Fund, which helps unite orphans with loving families.

"Since the unveiling, the bikes have appeared at nine events throughout Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan," said Scott Beck, vice president at Beck's Hybrids. "With the help and support of farmers and bike enthusiasts across the Midwest, we've raised more than $57,000 for the We Care for Orphans Adoption Fund. We're excited that we can continue to raise money to help provide families with the resources they need to make their adoption a reality, while at the same time give thousands of people a chance to win a custom chopper."

The bikes will continue to tour the Midwest through Feb. 18, 2012. The drawing will be held on Feb. 22, 2012 and the winner will be announced at Commodity Classic in Nashville, Tenn., March 1 - 3, 2012. The We Care for Orphans Adoption Fund Sweepstakes is open to all individuals 18 years of age and older.

The public can register to win a one-of-a-kind OCC motorcycle at any of the tour stops. For a complete listing of the tour stops, visit www.beckshybrids.com/wecare. Donations will be accepted at all events with proceeds going to We Care for Orphans. In addition, limited edition OCC and Beck's Hybrids t-shirts will be on sale with profits going to the charity.
