OCC didn’t use to deal with a ton of financial problems. It was only until they decided to move to a giant, new garage that an influx of financial problems came flushing in.
It also was due to the fact that all of this was happening after the financial crash in 2008, meaning that most people just didn’t care to spend on such expensive, custom choppers.
Another Set Of Financial Woes
Though everybody pretty much adores the special custom-made bikes that are on the show, they probably would have to think twice after finding out the prices.
The prices of these bikes actually range between $150K – $250K! Crazy! The crew doesn’t really make any of these fancy, high-end choppers anymore, though.
Larger Repertoire
The Orange County Choppers apparently don’t just work on plain old choppers, they even customize snowmobiles and cars!
hough their specialty is bikes, of course, they still can create these with junkyard parts for just $12,000!
Comedic Relief
Mikey has always been the fan favorite, most probably of all the comedic relief he provides amid all the drama.
In fact, he was so favored that he was able to represent American Chopper on hit shows like Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and the Late Show with David Letterman!
Started From The Bottom
One can only imagine how much love Paul Sr. has had for choppers. In fact, in 1999, he had so much love for it that he decided to go and ahead and make his dreams come true.
He and his son immediately built their very first bike in their own basement named True Blue! They then showed the custom chopper at Biketoberfest down in Daytona Beach.
