American Chopper is a Discovery Channel television series.
This cult series follows the company founder, Paul Teutul
Sr., and his son/chief designer, as well as fabricator,
Paul Teutul Jr. as the two run a business creating custom
motorbike masterpieces in their Montgomery, New York,
workshop, Orange County Choppers. The contrasting attitudes
of the men and their propensity for sulking often lead
to fiery but humorous verbal exchanges as they meet incredibly
short schedule deadlines for building one-of-a-kind custom
choppers. Typically Paul Jr. works along side employees
Vinnie and Rick as they create dozens of custom motorbikes.
Paul Sr. supervises the builds and has built motorcycles
himself. Michael Teutul, commonly referred to as Mikey,
also appears and provides comic relief. The show also
documents their personal and promotional activities ranging
from magazine photo shoots to family holidays and custom
bike shows.
