Orange County Chopper at the 2011 Farm Science Review?

When I went to he Farm Science review this year I expected to see combines, planters, balers and forage harvesters but I didn't expect to see a motorcycle from everybody's favorite motorcycle based reality show. Apparently Beck's Hybrids commissioned OCC to build 2 custom motorcycles. The first one pictured is a traditional chopper that is adorned in a Ohio State paint scheme (yuck) and has some beck's hybrid labels painted on. There were red led lights on the underside which seems to be a recent trend with OCC. The second "motorcycle" utilizes the same paint scheme however is a reverse trike design that has a similar front end of a 4-wheeler (quad). The most interesting part of the reverse trike is the pseudo corn head out front which you don't really expect to see on a motorcycle, but since it was created for a seed company it is quite interesting. One of these motorcycles is being auctioned off for charity (I believe the traditional one).
 Seems to follow a traditional OCC design. Looks fun.
 Here is the reverse trike that does look similar to a can am motorcycle. The rear tire looks to be a Z rated automotive tire.
 From this angle this looks like a very unique quad more than a motorcycle.
 Close up of the combine head inspired front end. Also makes a terrific cattle catcher.
