Note: Alaska celebrated its 50th year of statehood in 2009.
Neither canceled flights nor snowstorms deterred Lynden in delivering a very special Orange County Choppers motorcycle to Anchorage for the celebration of Alaska's 50th year of statehood. Lynden customer Unique Machine commissioned the one-of-a-kind bike to celebrate its 35th anniversary and Alaska's 50th year as a state. Lynden was asked to bring the bike from the OCC shop in New York to Anchorage and keep it under wraps until the statehood celebration.

The overnight delivery hit a few snags when a brutal winter storm moved in. Road closures and the need to creatively camouflage a motorcycle crate added to the challenge. In the end, Lynden delivered the bike as promised, and it was unveiled on schedule to celebrate the state Lynden proudly calls home.
