American Chopper profiles the lives of New York natives Paul Teutul Sr. and son Paul Jr. of Orange County Choppers (OCC), creators of the world's most outrageous custom motorcycles. Follow the day-to-day drama of this volatile father and son team as they battle impossible deadlines – and each other – to push the envelope of motorcycle design and fabrication.
Liberty Bike 1
When a wealthy historian asks the guys to incorporate original copper fixtures
from the Statue of Liberty into a custom chopper, Paulie gets stars (and
stripes) in his eyes. Innovative touches like a right-side drive line and a
torch-shaped carburettor prove worthy – but time-consuming additions. And
when it becomes clear that the boys are behind schedule yet again,
Senior's cries of, “Give me liberty, or give me Paulie's head!” nearly
spark an Orange County revolution.
Liberty Bike 2
In the midst of the uphill battle to finish the Liberty Bike, Paul Sr. proposes
a little downhill adventure: a spontaneous snow-tubing trip. Back at the shop,
the pressure mounts when Paulie realises the bike's exhaust doesn't fit and the
rear fender needs to be redone. But after everything is refitted and the bike
comes back from the copper-plater gleaming like the world's baddest penny, the
guys know they have an American classic on their hands.
Miller Electric Bike Part 1
The boys visit Miller Electric, leading makers of welding equipment, to spark
some inspiration for their latest chopper. While Vinnie gets a charge out of
Paulie's design ideas for the bike – a welder's mask incorporated into the
gas tank and a serpentine set of exhaust pipes – Big Paul sizzles over the
pure mess in the shop. And when Vinnie's wife goes into labour, forcing him to
leave work, Paulie is left to face Senior's meltdown all by himself.
Miller Electric Bike Part 2
Paulie and the boys hit the hardwood for a game of hoops against the guys from
OCC Ironworks in what can only be described as a comedy of errors. But back in
the shop, it's all business: Big Paul blows up at Vinnie for leaving the shop
in disarray and nearly sends him home for the day. However, once Senior gets a
look at the Miller Bike's patriotic paint job and the outrageous tow-behind
welder, all is forgiven.
Dixie Chopper 1
When the gang visits the Dixie Chopper Company – makers of fast, powerful
lawn mowers – Paulie comes away with some cutting-edge ideas for
OCC's latest bike. Spinning mower blades incorporated into the wheels and a
real, chromed-out mower engine really set the bike off. But when the custom
carburettor doesn't fit, Orange County's mower-inspired masterpiece nearly
turns to mulch.
Dixie Chopper 2
With business booming at OCC, Senior splurges for an expansion to the cramped
garage … and a custom Harley for son Paulie. Back in the shop, the crew hustle
to get the Dixie Bike ready for its Daytona debut. But with the clock ticking
and the realisation that the rear fender is hopelessly bent, the guys are going
to have to come up with a creative solution to get this grass-kicking hog to the
show on time.
