OCC Chopper awarded in motorcycle contest
The show from whence it came may have ridden into the sunset, but there were smiles all around as OCC founder Paul Teutul Sr handed over one of his motorcycle creations to one lucky winner.
Starting with the effort to create a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Mobil 1, the world’s leading synthetic motor oil brand, commissioned Orange County Choppers to build a one-of-a-kind bagger-style custom motorcycle inspired by OCC founder Paul Teutul Sr. The custom bike became the centerpiece of the grand-prize package of the Mobil 1 Orange County Choppers Sweepstakes, which was won by James Polerecky of Omaha, Nebraska.
As part of the grand prize, Polerecky also won a free trip to the 2010 Daytona Bike Week celebration, where he received his new custom motorcycle from Paul Sr. himself.

Giving away a motorcycle to a lucky fan wasn’t enough for Paul Sr. during Daytona Bike Week either. The famous motorcycle builder also spent some time at a local Daytona-area Advance Auto Parts store signing autographs for fans and giving away free Mobil 1 bandanas, shirts and hats.
“Meeting James and personally being able to hand this custom bagger over to him in Daytona was great,” said Teutul. “The bike is a true cruiser and something that is a real joy to ride, so I know he’ll have a blast owning and riding this custom Mobil 1 OCC motorcycle for years to come.”
