Win a Mobil 1 Motorcycle Built By Orange County Choppers - MSN Money

Posted: 01 Sep 2009 08:29 AM PDT

For motorcycle enthusiasts, few design shops generate as much excitement as Orange County Choppers. And for anyone who has ever wanted to own a two-wheeled work of art designed by OCC founder Paul Teutul Sr., Mobil 1 is providing a rare opportunity to do exactly that. Starting today, fans can go to www.mobil1.com/winamotorcycle to sign up for a chance to win a one-of-a-kind Mobil 1 bagger-style custom motorcycle designed and built by Orange County Choppers, as well as a trip to Daytona Bike Week 2010.

The sweepstakes will end on November 30, 2009, with the grand-prize winner selected shortly thereafter. The winner will be presented with the Mobil 1 Orange County Choppers motorcycle during Daytona Bike Week, which runs from February 26 to March 7, 2010. Fifty runners-up will also win Mobil 1 Motorcycle Oil polo shirts and hats.

For those who want to get an up-close look at the Mobil 1 motorcycle, they can see it in the Mobil 1 Performance Zone, a traveling exhibit that appears regularly at events throughout the country. The Performance Zone will be at the DUB Auto Show in Miami Beach, FL, on September 25 and 26; and at the Formula Drift Championships in Irwindale, CA, October 14-17. Fans can check www.mobil1racing.com to see when additional dates will be added to the Mobil 1 Performance Zone tour.

"I had a great time working with the team at Mobil 1 on the design of this bike, and I think the end result is something that riders will really appreciate," said Paul Teutul, Sr. "You don't see motorcycles like this one very often. Whoever wins it is probably going to make a lot of friends in Daytona in a hurry."

The Mobil 1 Orange County Choppers motorcycle features an S&S Cycle V-Twin X-Wedge engine, dual rear exhaust, a six-speed Baker RSD transmission, HHI four-piston brakes, and Metzeler ME880 Marathon tires, as well as custom paint and a custom derby cover from Orange County Choppers.

Restrictions apply. For full sweepstakes rules, visit www.mobil1.com/winamotorcycle. Limit of one entry per household. The sweepstakes is not available to residents of Alaska and Hawaii, and is void to residents of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia.
