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.

Here’s What Happened to the American Chopper Cast After the Show Ended

[cljxzww]

It was basically a show about an extremely dysfunctional family that built comic book motorcycles. I've met Rick and he's a straight up talented guy.

[AndyFromBeaverton]

The show became unwatchable as the focus became a father/son power battle.

[revminTphresh]

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.

Rick Petco was an artist when making a tank from pieces of sheet metal into an absurd shape.

[xtbum]

So why was the old man in an orange jumpsuit?

[katvonk]

Used to love watching the show been to the OCC in NY when we were driving Big truck and passing threw Sr. Was there and very accommodating so we could park. Wish all of them the best!

"There's something mesmerizing about watching an expert build a complex machine."
What does that have to do with "American Choppers?"

Just met Paul Jr and his wife this year. Got to se some of his bikes up close. They are even better in person.They are super nice people and I highly reccommend visiting his shops in NY and NJ.

[debramason]

I loved to watch the show. It's sad they can't make amends with each other. ❤

[faniebotha]

Liked them all. Sad to hear how it dissolved. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤️👌🏻

Glad KARMA caught up with Paul Senior. I’m proud of Paul Jr and his team and collaborators. I’m disappointed at Cody, he had so much potential.

[johnadams]

The show was a study of misfits and psychotics. Glad it has disappeared into history.

[jacktuber]

Senior is the definition of a recovering alcoholic parent. Every ACOA can tell you

[cinibar]

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...

[arthuridis]

Paul Sr. looks like a morphed version of Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon.

[Tess_untamed]

It's not tootle. It's " Tuttle".

[SteveRoman-lsfp]

Pauley, Jr. was my favorite cast member. He didn't care about making money. As an artist, he only wanted to design bikes. 🏍

[deanmcpherson]

Paul Jr., Bonnie & Rick were always my favorites.

[kennv]

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.

Imagine having a US$1.5 million home which has the aesthetic of being built exclusively by first year apprentices.
