American Red Cross

Since 1912, the DEKALB® brand has been the nation's leading provider of corn seed to the American farmer. And, since 1881, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier provider of emergency relief. So, it only makes sense that DEKALB® and the American Red Cross would join forces to provide support for people in need, like those in rural America who have been hit especially hard this past year by natural disasters like tornados and floods.

All proceeds generated from the auction of the DEKALB® 100th Anniversary Chopper will be donated to the American Red Cross. Through this auction motorcyclists, DEKALB® enthusiasts, and chopper collectors will be fueling not only their love of the lowrider, but also the recovery efforts of rural America.

Highlights

AUTHENTIC NICKLE-PLATED FEATURES
In 1912, when DEKALB® Corn was just starting out, bikes used nickel plating instead of all chrome like they do now. That's why Paul Jr. Designs used nickel plating for many of the details on this chopper.
RETRO WOOD FINISH
No, this chopper isn't made of wood. That wouldn't be safe. Instead, this faux wood paint job was chosen to represent the wooden agricultural crates used when DEKALB® was created 100 years ago.
INSPIRED AND FUELED BY CORN
Since DEKALB® Corn has been involved in the corn industry for the last 100 years, it only makes sense that the 100th Anniversary DEKALB® Bike runs exclusively on E-85 fuel.
SOMETHING SOUND FAMILIAR?
To add to the authenticity of the 100th Anniversary DEKALB® Chopper, Paul Jr. Designs added exhaust covers just like those used on tractors.
CLASSIC STYLING FOR A CLASSIC BRAND
Since this commemorative chopper is celebrating DEKALB® Corn's 100th anniversary, Paul Jr. Designs took cues from 1912 when building it. The use of the antique board-tracker design reflects this era.
A SEAT ANY FARMER WOULD LOVE
When you design a 100th Anniversary DEKALB® Chopper, you don't just use any regular bike seat. You use an antique style tractor seat. And don't worry, a shock absorbing spring under it makes for a comfortable ride.
THESE WINGS CAN REALLY FLY
Eschewing traditional wheel spokes, Paul Jr. Designs opted to use wings modeled after the wings from the DEKALB® logo. These wings also utilized the more authentic nickel plating instead of all chrome.
