Attention American Choper fans: The Tuetel's are a pretty amazing group with lessons to share on creativity, teamwork and charity, plus they've got some pretty rockin' bikes. What we want to know...is what have you learned from the Tuetel's and American Chopper? If you have a story you want to share about how the Tuetel's have affected your life, you could be chosen to talk about in front of the cameras.
If you're located in the NY Metro area and are available for a few hours anytime between Feb 5-16th.(exact day/time to be determined) We want to hear from you. Please send a short description of what you've learned and how that lesson has applied to your life. Please include your age, location and a number we can reach you at.
All emails should go to: jessica@weebeastie.tv Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!
Not sure I could credit them to anything I have learned besides maybe the parts of a motor cycle which I probably would have never learned otherwise but I would like to thank them for the incredible friends I have met because of thier show and this site..
Hey. I'm in the NY metro area so I'll give it a go..
hay, I have a friend here im my town that could pass for Paul sr. twin.Paul, if u read this, he should be on camera, we watch the show every time we can, and r amazed @ some of the bikes u guys build love ya guys.
I think Ive learned having 5 boys and watching that family I am happy to inform Paul Sr that with the help of his show Im not the only person with sons who should be enrolled in anger management
WEll there is plenty to say but i will try to keep this comment to a reasonable length. I see the Tuetel/OCC family as a group of hard working, American people who are patriotic, fun loving, & charitable. What the hell, they are sharing their life with everyone and in return good fortune has come their way and they share it with other folks as well as with each other. Hard work pays off, and it should. if nothing else, the show should be a lesson to people as to what determination pointed in the right direction can do for you and those around you. All the negative crap that I have seen here is Bulls__t. It's a television show about a family that builds beautiful motorcycles and what they go through to do it. As they become more successful their business and company grows and it allows them to do more of what they love to do and along the way they help others, utilizing the good fortune that they have earned. the show is meant to be entertainment. If it isn't some bodies cup of tea, I couldn't care less and don't need to hear about. Don't let the Bastards drag you down boys. You are a great group of folks and there are a ton of people that think so. Just thought you should hear this, you get to hear and read all the negative stuff a person could stand, I know , I have read some of the stuff right here.
I know virtually nothing about bikes..or choppers. But I always watch the show because the story behind Paul Sr. speaks to me as a father, and as a person. The conflict between him and Jr. is clear, and may never resolve itself.His relationship with Mikey, so very different,and warm. A tale of two cities for sure, and mirrors my relationship with my boys.As a father, and a dad, the challenges are so different, on so many levels. Watching Sr. grow, and wear his heart on his big sleeve,has brought me many moments of happiness, and sometimes a little sadness.It is nice to know we are not alone in our struggles,and that by doing what we believe is our best for our kids, and instilling in them the belief that they can succeeed, and forgive us our human mistakes,they will come out as better men on the other side.Thanks Sr....
excellant crusick, I have two grown children now and they are great people in their own right. I am 60 years old now and my father was like Paul sr. and as a result I turned out ok for the most part. My young years were a little ragged but I understood by the time I became a dad, what my father (and Mother) did for me. When Paul jr is the oldest guy there at OCC, he will understand too, however, I think Sr's boys are already starting to get it. Can't help but love the ol'Man if you know what I mean.
I do indeed agree.. Time usually has a way of making us smarter..and a little wiser. Jr is starting to get it, cause the empire has gotten very big, and he knows it takes more than cool design to feed that beast..and Sr is clearly hopeful Jr grabs the reins soon..I get the sense he would rather be fishing, or playing with the dogs, or working on his antique collection.
I also noticed that Mikey actually has some of the ol' Man's fire in him. I have seen Paulie get made and it is somewhat fierce, but, I saw the fire of Senior come from Mikey once and that was scary. I wouldn't want Mikey mad at me. I see alot of things in the show besides the motorcycles and those other things are what makes OCC "AMERICAN CHOPPER" work. I hope that they see them as well. One of the aspects (things)of the show that I think makes it click with the viewer is that when they have fun their happiness is very evident and that happiness seems to carry over to the viewer. For the most part what you see is the Teutels as they are. they are real and once people realize that,..... they like them and accept them as they do any of their other friends.....later, gotta go 4 now
I read all of the comments and they are good. I look forward to seeing the show and tape it if I can't view it at time of airing. They are a good bunch of guys and they have some awsome employees working for them-that help the company big time. They do so much for the community and younger aged children I have just a small problem with the distruction they do with smashing things-etc. I am sure they pay for it big bucks, but hopefully it doesn't come across to the young people watching that it is a good thing to do. The Teutels are very impresionable to the younger generation-and they have a lot of young-young fans along with me, an old person------.
Sooooo, sory I didn't get to the store on the 15th....The most awesome vehicle, ever "OWNED""by myself...lost brakes...4 the most rediculous reason...I never would have thought of...such an inconvenience....kidz were pissed...

I am not in NY I live in Md .I would like to know after being in an accident an having injured my right leg is there a way to change the brake unit so I can have the back brake work off the handlebars the same as the front ,my next qu for them is how can you make a peg for whats left of my right foot so that I can t feel so much of the vibration .I would get most of the answers that I am asking now from my brother but he is no longer with us now so I am asking .thank you
I don't live anywhere near NY but as a fan I have to say that out of every show I watch I come away with something from it. Paul Sr. has showed me that although he had a tough time for awhile he was able to take charge of his own life and whip his troubles to come out on top. He calmed the beast within himself and I praise him for it. I, like Paul Sr. had my share of troubles in my early life but have learned to tame the beast inside of myself. He is an inspiration to me and I am a better father because of OCC and watching Paul handle his sons. He does this with love and compassion. You can tell how much his sons mean to him and mine mean the same to me. My son and I are now building a bike and have grown closer than ever while doing this. Thanks Paul. Jim from Washington State.
I do not live in NY, but thought you should know having served in the military, it is possible to work on a busy project and keep your work space neat, clean and functional.
Jeez, I've done everything except jump up and down in front of the cameras yelling, "FILM ME! FILM ME!" I don't know if it's because I can't help looking into the camera, or if it's because I'm not "stacked". LOL! Maybe I'll give this a try...
my name is jessielee robinson and i am a big fan and i would like to meet u but there is no way for me to get to u because iam bad written but that does not stop me from living life and enteracting with my family. it could be worse i could be dead or i could not be able to enteract with my family. but enough of the sad story i do not like to think about the bad i think of life and that gets me through the day i have a good family that loves me and that gets me through the day. i love life although i can not live it the way i want to live life but hell iam living life the best i can. so paul jr i would like to meet u guys so if you read this i leave in freeport fl.

Oh honey, not a good idea to put your personal contact info on any website. I would suggest you edit your post and delete it. Paul Jr does not usually post here - not sure if he even reads what is here. You could try their website www.orangecountychoppers.com I would suggest you try there.
Sowwwy..
