This reality TV series centers around a father-son duo, Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul “Paulie” Teutul Jr. who create custom motorcycles in their shop, Orange County Choppers, in Newburgh, New York.
Paul and Paulie disagree about their business, and much of it is played out for the cameras in arguments that can be explosive, yet humorous. Paul Sr. supervises at the shop, overseeing the building of these custom bikes, and looking in on Paulie as well as other fabricators and mechanics, Rick Petko, Nick Hansford, Christian Welter, Vincent DiMartino, and Cody Connelly.
Paul’s youngest son, Michael (Mikey), works at Orange County Choppers as well, as the custodian and webmaster. Danny, Paul’s second oldest child, is seen occasionally, doing metal work at Orange County Ironworks.
Paulie eventually leaves Orange County Choppers and the show follows his starting his own design company. Vincent leaves to start his own company as well and is joined by Cody. The series has gone on to inspire a series of video games for several different game system, as well as a pinball arcade game.

To move there. The show never should have been canceled
Big mistake when the show stopped !
HELL’S ANGELS FOREVER !
you bsst all you man do GOOD JOB By mmek BEST Chopper/Occ
best Pai sar love you
I propose to start a new season and following title:
American Chopper – New directions
(Sr. retires and Jr. takes over!)
[…] American Chopper (Discovery) The reality series was cancelled once, was revived, and has now been dropped again. Will it be revived for a second time? […]
[…] looks like it’s the end of the road for American Chopper once again. The Discovery Channel reality series will wrap with a four-way bike build-off special, […]
Just tuned in to American Chopper, hadn’t found the program untill this morning.
Being an ex biker chick I think the program is wonderful! Paul Sr. is Hot as Hell!
Don’t let this program go by the wayside!!
I think that the show is fake. A soap-opera.
I can believe a father being so corrupted toward his own family. There is no money or furtune that can do that to his own son. That is why I think that the show is all madeup.
Sorry but thats the way I see this show. “Jr. is a great son, very creative and talanted designer”.
The father should be proud of him.
what about american chopper jr vs. senior
There is gonna be a day when they’ll find eachother again at the family table.
I think Paul Sr. needs to yell and boss everyone around because he has know idea how to run a business when it comes to breaking rules he’s the king but if anyone else (in his eyes) slacks off he’s a complete fool about the issue. I’m from a neighboring state and have heard tales of Sr. back when he was in school and after he graduated or quit! should I say he spent his spare time in front of the local judge not a smart man!
Paul Senor is so jealous of his son. His son is a much better choice of a bike builder. Jr. is extremely talented which he’s proven beyound any dought. Bring the kid back ! Nothing wrong w/the show being around Paul Jr.
