Teutul, Jr. is no longer working with his father or Orange County Choppers and has started his own company, Paul Jr. Designs.
Teutul, in a press conference at the Tucker Rocky dealer show, said he hopes to work with Biker’s Choice in the future to build parts and accessories for the distributor. More immediately, his first bike for the TV series will feature parts and accessories from Biker’s Choice.
The bike will be unveiled at Sturgis in August.
“This is an exciting new adventure for Biker’s Choice and we are proud to have Paul Jr. and his team join the Biker’s Choice crew,” Johnson said.
Paul Jr. Designs and American Chopper will begin airing Aug. 12 on TLC
The new TLC series, scheduled to air in August pits father against son — Teutul Jr. is now located in a shop a stone’s throw (his words!) from the old Orange County Choppers headquarters. A press release about the show says the following, “Once partners, they are now fierce competitors at contending motorcycle shops.”
The show is said to capture the rivalry between father and son with en extra twist, son is bringing back former OCC employees his brother Mikey, Vinnie DiMartino, Robert “Nub” Colard and Joe Puliafico.
