Orange County Chopper – OCC
-
OCC became widely known largely through American Chopper, which debuted in 2002 on Discovery Channel. The show exposed viewers to the drama, creativity, deadlines, and custom bike builds — often on very tight schedules.
-
Builds were thematic, often commissioned by corporations, sports teams, etc. The show played up both the artistry and the interpersonal conflict (especially between Sr. and Jr.).

OCC Theme Bikes
OCC Theme Bikes
When it comes to Orange County Choppers corporate theme bikes, with most motorcycle enthusiasts, there is no middle ground . . . You either like them or hate them!
Personally oh, I think most will agree that the OCC team was pretty creative not only with their bikes but in carving out a corporate niche four theme by creation.
The fact that Junior kicked Senior’s butt in the Junior vs. Senior contests tells you who had more talent. The fact that Junior then build his business without all the money mismanagement of OCC, tells you who is the better businessman.

Just a day before the American Chopper reboot premiered in March 2018, Paul Sr. filed for bankruptcy.

Steve Wyrick’s Magic Chopper
Magic Chopper
To celebrate Steve Wyrick’s 1,000th show at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, the Teutuls of Orange County Choppers built him a custom chopper for an epic reveal that he would be doing for an episode of the TV reality series American Chopper. When they were designing the bike, Steve Wyrick challenged them to make one part of it invisible. Together, they created a secret gas tank to be hidden in the rear wheel well so that the bike would appear to have an invisible gas tank.
With only a short period of time to complete the project, headed by Rick Petco, the focus is on the gas tank. The first time around, there was a problem with the water jet – the jet didn’t end because there were some holes in the tank that shouldn’t have been there. But after putting some scraps of aluminum and steel inside the tank, everything was working out great. Read more

Jesse James vs Orange County Choppers
More precisely this should be American Chopper vs. Jesse James. Anyone who’s been into choppers for any length of time that has seen the TV segments from American Chopper and Jesse James, would really have to wonder if this contest was fixed. But then again, perhaps it was dominated by motorcycle chopper wannabes who were more impressed by bling versus substance.
