It primarily focused on Paul Teuteul Sr. and his son Paul Jr. The latter found his way, but the former found himself in court more than once. His other son Michael tried to be the mediator by using comedy. That only worked for a while until he had to take time away from his family. It let him overcome personal issues and discover what he wanted to do with his life.
Jason Pohl is an expert designer. He loves being able to create, but he shifted focus and changed what he made in his later years.Rick Petko is the team’s best metal fabricator. He’s since used that skill to work on more than motorcycles.
Vincent DiMartino was a fan favorite on American Chopper. The show’s cancellation gave him a chance to pursue his dream of opening his own business. A few cast members have dropped out of the limelight, never to be seen again. Cody Connely wants to distance himself from the show and rarely shows up in public, as does Nick Martino. It’s not even clear what they’re doing today.
Information about Jim Pratt is difficult to find beyond a few recent credits. Other cast members used the show as a springboard for an entertainment career. Mike Rowe has since narrated several other shows. American Chopper was so popular that it was brought back several times. These included spinoffs and chances for Paul Sr. and Jr. to build their “final chopper” together.

i worked the GSK booth at NASCAR in the mid 2000's and the OCC crew showed up to pimp their show at one of the races. sr and jr did their time and split, but vinnie and mikey hung out and signed merch and took pics with their fans. those 2 had a down to earth class. sr and jr had a lot of attitude and testosterone, IMHO.

For all the cool designs and innovations for the bikes a couple things were pretty disappointing to see happen. Once I observed one of the guys use a chop saw to cut a rear axle spacer! Should have used a lathe for precise length accuracy! Another time one of the guys was drilling hole in a fender for a sissy bar and drilled right through into the new tire! What no piece of wood or aluminum as a stop to protect the tire? They could have at least edited this out of the show before airing it. That plus the 'drama' was enough for me. Having said this, they did make some really cool looking machines though...

OCC tried to grow too fast and invested too much money moving a few times into larger shops and buying more advanced manufacturing equipment. Bike builders fell in hard times after the 2008-2009 market crash. Clients stopped ordering custom bike builds. Paul Sr. mistake was he borrowed too much money expanding his business thinking the chopper craze would continue for many years into a bad economy. Custom choppers were just a passing fade. Currently the whole motorcycle market is in a decline because of inflation and people living paycheck to paycheck.

I watched several seasons of the show. Senior drove me up the wall. His temper tantrums were childish. His design ideas were limited. His technical abilities nothing without everyone else doing the work. I'm glad Junior, Mikey and Vinny are doing well. Junior and Vinny were the real talent. And both are flexible and forward thinking. Senior could learn a thing or two if he wasn't a massive ego on legs! I think Junior was sick of Senior sh1te and that's why he was so disrespectful.
