Motorcycle master Paul Teutul Jr. has been molding metal into shape since the age of 12, when he began his apprenticeship at his father’s steel business. He’s widely recognized as the chief designer and fabricator of some of the world’s most famous motorcycles, as featured in the hit television series American Chopper on the Discovery Channel.
Although Paul Jr. started his career as cofounder of Orange County Choppers, after branching off, he now shares his creativity and unique approach to design with the world through his work at Paul Jr. Designs. Founded in 2010, his new company pushes the limits on creativity beyond just motorcycles, where Paul continues to pursue his passion for building the impossible.
The first two “American Chopper” episodes featured a Sturgis Buffalo Chip-inspired custom bike, a project Paul Jr. took to heart. After meeting with Sturgis Buffalo Chip President Rod Woodruff, Teutul accepted the challenge to create a bike that would stand out as one of the most exceptional custom motorcycles on the planet, a bike that would go down in history as a testament to his incomparable talents. The bike was auctioned in support of the Buffalo Chip’s Legends Ride in 2018.
