His bike shop may be only 6 years old, but Paul Teutul Sr’s
love of riding and fabricating custom motorcycles dates back to the 70’s,
inspired by such films as "Easy Rider" and Marlon Brando’s quint essential
"The Wild One". Since then he’s worked in steel fabrication, nurturing his
Orange County Ironworks into the booming commercial business it is today.
But it was Orange County Ironworks’ very success that allowed
Paul Sr. to pursue his passion for building motorcycles in his downtime, and in
1999 he recruited his son Paul Jr. to become the chief fabricator and designer
for the new enterprise: Orange County Choppers. OCC jumped on the scene at
Daytona Biketoberfest 1999 with "True Blue" a classic chopper built in Paul
Sr.’s basement.
Today Paul’s three sons all work in either his steel business or
bike shop. Danny, is the general manager of Orange County Ironworks. Paul
Jr., , is the chief fabricator at Orange County Choppers. Michael, 26, answers
phones and orders parts at OCC. Daughter Kristin, attends nursing school
in Rochester, N.Y.
