Becky of Lees Market looks mighty right-at-home on this custom-built, low-rider chopper. Made famous by the 1969 movie ‘Easy Rider’ the chopper has captured the imaginations of millions of care-free Americans.

This handmade bike, a $120,000 beauty by Orange County Choppers, was fashioned by the popular Discovery Channel series host, Paul Teutul Sr. American Chopper built the bike exclusively for Ardbeg, the distiller of Ultimate Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky.

The dysfunctional family of chopper builders created from its humble basement beginnings an empire, a small piece of which was on display at Lees Market on election day. Ardbeg, the distiller of Ultimate Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky, was on hand Monday night for a tasting and brought the custom chopper along with them for a show and tell.

Unfortunately for Becky and the hundreds of other Lees’ customers who caught a brief glimpse of chopper heaven, the motorcycle was trailored that evening and moved on to its next appearance with Ardbeg.

Vroom, vroom!
