So, when we left New York, a lot of people think that I stopped building bikes.

That's the furthest thing from the truth.

I've probably built more bikes since I left New York than I did when I was in New York.

I never stopped building bikes and I probably never stopped, period.

That's number three through, isn't it?

Good?

All right, man. I'll see you tomorrow.

All right, man. Ride safe.

Have a good night, Jimbo.

Thanks, you too, Pauly.

So, is the ferry coming today?

Actually, tomorrow. I couldn't today. We have Greybull.

What time is Greybull?

One o'clock, so I'll finish the animals and then I guess I'll swing by and pick up you guys and we'll go together.

You're heading out now or are you going to go?

No, I'm going to go. I've got to get going.

I think this has been a great move, especially for Paul, because he loves the smaller shop.

He's got this quaint little shop there, this basically little hobby farm that we can take in these animals.

But for Paul, it's like a dream again. He's got animals back.

He went back to really his old school routes of building the way he wanted to and he loves it.

He leaves to work happy every day. He comes home happy.

It's really been an incredible transition for him in terms of just how much more relaxed he is.

So, we had an event over at the OCC Roadhouse to celebrate our veterans.

Brian Stern from Greybull Rescue was receiving an award that night.

Later on the evening when the event was over, Brian and I met up.

We started talking and I had mentioned to him about a bike and how it would help bring awareness to his organization and what they do.

Yeah, so it should be Brian and a bunch of other people up there.

My name is Brian Stern. I'm the CEO and founder of Greybull Rescue.

We're a donor-funded, veteran-led international rescue organization.

We rescue Americans and allies. Not just Americans, but that's our priority.

From war zones, conflict zones, kidnappings, hostages, and also natural disasters.

So, we're about 140 people all in. We have people all over the place.

We have people deployed right now. We work all over the world.

Anything you see on TV that's a crappy place where people might be in trouble,

we're either been there already, there right now, or on our way right now like that.

So, we are really busy, entirely donor-funded. We do not charge money.

Carrillo over there, he's the first American victim of war crimes alive since World War II.

We broke him out of jail from Russia. The Russians had him, tortured him for 37 days.

Broke him out of captivity, which is the first time that that ever happened to Russia.

And for fun, we did that 11 more times.

That's us. We'll show the video, which, because everything we say sounds kind of not believable,

which is why we record everything, because we have the receipt for everything that we do.

My team and I have done over 600 missions all over the world.

We've rescued over 7,000 people from Hurricane Ian to Maui to Afghanistan to Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, all over the place, Sudan.

We like to say that we work at the speed of need.

When Americans are stuck or in trouble, someone has to show up.

I would be dead if it wasn't for Brian. He saved my life.

Knowing that we've saved these people from something like being caught in a war or conflict, it's very, very rewarding.

It feels amazing to bring American citizens home, our countrymen. These are our neighbors.

Grable can't walk out of the parking lot without money, without donations.

They can't fly overseas and help America.

And they can't pull a hurricane victim out without gas, chainsaws, vehicles.

And donations pay for all that.

We can have all the things that we need.

But if I can't afford a tank of gas, it just sounds like a good movie.

You know, it sounds like something that we watch on TV.

And that's the one thing that I never, ever, ever, ever want to do when somebody needs help, is be a spectator.

What you do is just so incredibly heartwarming and brave and everything else and emotional to be able to see that.

It's really, it's an honor for us to be here, truthfully.

So we've done TV for 18 years. I mean, this is really heartfelt here, you know.

I'm psyched, you know what I mean? Like, this is really cool.

And when we do stuff, too, we have to be into it, you know what I'm saying?

We have to feel that this is something that we are honored to do, in a sense, you know?

Yeah, well, you know, when we got back to the shop, the guys were there.

And I really wanted these guys to know exactly what Grable does.

Because I think that, you know, if you just mention you're doing a build opposed to explaining, you know, what's involved in the build and everything.

For me, you get more into it.

Once I gave them kind of the briefing of what these guys do, you know, we just started building the bike.

At the end of the week, when everybody starts to get paid here, I'm keeping the money going straight to them.

Well, tell them I said that.

Pretty good, though. Emotional, ain't it?

Yeah, that's great.

People do that.

All right, we got to go to work.

You know, me and Jim have been building bikes, quite a few bikes, to be honest with you, since we moved down here from Florida.

But, you know, when you're doing a project like Grable, kind of get the band back together because there's just a lot more involved.

SMT, their wheels, they come with the tire on.

You don't have to worry about marring the rim all up and mounting the tire.

Probably a burr on this.

Power tools. You got a power tool?

We do.

We'll rail over right by the statue.

Right to your left.

We're pulling there.

We got everything.

We got everything.

How you doing?

Good.

Good to see you, man.

Good to see you.

We've been working out.

I've been working through.

The shop lights up when Mikey's here, you know?

It's a different atmosphere.

For me, it's a different feeling because, you know, I need somebody to play with, and he's the most fun.

So when he's here, most of the time he's hard to find.

But when he is here, he just lets off a glow, you know?

Let's go over this exhaust.

I want to do, like, a long exhaust, like come out of here, come back to about here.

Yeah, it'd be cool if I did, like, something where it came down like this and kind of bent over the cone a little bit.

And then I can straight pipe it and then kind of follow that.

I was thinking maybe, like, a teardrop slash cut on the pipe, you know?

Give it, like, an aggressive look.

Probably make it look like it's, you know, going fast, sitting still, you know?

Okay, do it.

Like a tube drop.

There we go.

You get a little bit of leverage so we can, like, finagle it around before I get through.

Watch it.

Oh, man, some electrolytes here.

So it's my first day on this build.

I'm just kind of looking at this frame.

In my head, I'm just, like, I'm pulling out that drawer of archive, like, okay, what pipes do I want to build?

It's challenging when you're doing that stuff on the fly.

Like, we're hand-making most of these parts right here in-house.

So what do you think the hardest bike we ever built was?

Let me ask you a question and tell you the answer.

Yeah, why don't you just give me a hint?

Dead people?

Dead people.

Oh, the Hurst bike.

Oh, yeah, so he still uses that.

I know he does, but tell me that wasn't, was that crazy?

I just, he just text me.

You know what's funny?

We had to test that.

We've had, like, three or four different front ends on that.

Remember, Johnny Reddazza, he was the biggest, heaviest one in the shop.

Being back here with some of the guys, it's really a lot of fun.

We haven't been all together in the same room in quite some time.

And, you know, I first came here, it was kind of story time.

You know, we have a million of them.

Just reminiscing about some of the crazy stuff we did, some of the funny stuff we did.

But, you know, at some point, we've got to get to work.

How are you going to get out those stitches?

That's the reason why it might hurt a little bit.

So, working with Paul now versus back in New York, it's different.

The stress level for everybody is not existence for the most part.

We just enjoy working together, having fun.

He's teaching me things.

I'm not a bite builder by trade.

So, he's been showing me what's going on.

We've been building together, just doing really cool stuff

and working with some cool people down here in Florida that we've met.

A lot more steps.

This piece next is going to be really a pain in the ass.

It is.

Worse than all of this.

Because you, my friend, are an imbecile.

People always ask, what do you like about working with Paul?

Is he really like the COTB?

How great was Jackie Gleason?

So, I think what we need to do is make a plate in here.

Okay.

This way, come around and fill in this area.

Right.

And then Anthony made an oil tank.

We'll see how the oil tank and the battery box to fill this area

because it's stretched so far.

It looks real empty in there.

Right.

They're working on the front end.

So, I think we're doing really good.

Again, Anthony's building the gas tank.

That's kind of like, I think that's an area that none of us are qualified in

other than Anthony.

But the fender's not done.

We've got a lot of fabrication to do on that fender.

It's a real long bike.

The frame's been stretched.

So, yeah, I'm getting back to work.

My name's Anthony Keeling.

I own a company called Tin Works Inc.

I've been helping Paul for about two or three years now.

Off and on, I build frames for him and stuff.

And today, I'm helping him try to get this bike done,

helping out, kind of building the gas tank,

mounting the oil tank, battery box.

It's going to be a pretty nice build when it's done.

Why do you all make that look when I walk in like there's something wrong?

Because we're happy to see you.

You're never happy to see me.

All morning, everybody's, where's Joan?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Where's Joan?

We hope she got hit by a truck.

I don't know, but I already miss her.

Really?

Yeah.

So, Joan, Paul's wife, most people don't know she's actually the CEO of

Orange County Choppers.

So, she keeps us running smooth and keeps us on point.

I mean, a lot of times she'll stop by the shop to see what Paul and I are up

to or not up to.

She makes sure we're on point with delivering the bikes on time and what

the client is looking for.

It is really nice.

Yeah, it's good.

What do you think, Mike, that we could drive it?

Yeah, we've got a lot of people working on it all at once.

It's like the old days, you know?

Yeah.

Well, that's what I feel like.

I just walked in, I'm like, wait, wait, wait.

I'm in a time warp, you know?

It's awesome.

That's a great tank.

Right?

You know what?

I was just going to say, it actually fits the whole thing perfectly.

Yeah.

I like it a lot.

You know me, I'd be giving my real opinion if I didn't like it.

It's almost the same way when you're looking down this way.

The tank's a little wider, but it's so close.

Really?

Great job.

Yeah, no, it really does.

Great job.

Speaking of custom, how's my custom bike coming along, Paul?

You don't have someplace to be.

You got to feed the chickens, maybe, or the cow.

We don't have chickens.

Just for the record.

Oh, get them.

Where's Jimbo?

Right here.

Don't sneak up on me.

I'm sorry.

Who do we got?

Mikey.

I'm working with Mikey.

I'm over here.

Oh, great.

Me and you are about.

All right.

All right?

Yeah.

Check first.

Oh, what's this?

Let me do this.

Right here.

After they get done.

We're having like a slow start this morning, I think,

mainly because of Michael.

He's late this morning, two days in a row.

One more time, we're going to have to tan him.

Any conversation with the camera guy?

You better get on the f***ing stick.

Right.

All right?

Paul had some surgery done to his hand and had some stitches,

so the doctor is supposed to be stopping by, which is good,

because to get Paul to go to the doctor and to get us to do

anything when we're done working is tough.

It's hot.

Well, I drove an hour to get here.

Did you really?

Yeah.

I must love you a lot.

I'm like a coward when it comes to this s***.

No, you're not.

Like when they cut it and they stitched it,

it didn't bother me at all.

But now..

But it looks great.

Yeah, but look at how this has grown over that.

How are you going to get at those stitches?

That's the reason why it might hurt a little bit.

You sure you want to do it here?

Yeah.

It's your hand, not mine.

Yeah?

You good?

Yeah.

No, man.

It's fine.

Mike, you're working here?

Yeah, yeah.

Huh?

How'd this happen?

You don't want to let anyone know?

No, I don't want to talk about it.

I don't want to talk.

I think my father is getting to the age where,

like, he's causing himself embarrassing accidents but

doesn't want to tell anybody.

So, he came in one day with a real gash in his hand,

and he kind of didn't want to tell anybody how it happened,

you know.

But it's sitting there like Frankenstein's,

you know, stitches in his head.

So, it's kind of hard not to give him a hard time about

what's going on.

Kind of like the giant dent in the front of his truck,

you know.

He blasted something with that.

I don't think he wants to tell anyone.

They might take his license away, you know.

I've got a brown paper bag of bricks.

Give it a go.

You've got to give it the old college try.

And every time I pull it, he's angry.

See?

Yeah, boom.

He said it.

So, what do you do if we go to your place over there?

What are you going to do?

I just, I'll probably open it up a little bit.

Open it up?

Yeah.

Man, I have to look at this.

It's crazy.

Now, we'll just let, we'll let it.

All right, hold on.

We're just going to, let's clean it up here.

We made a WD.

WD.

We've got tons of it.

Can you wear it?

We don't have any of those parked, right?

No, right?

I'll bill you later.

All right, let me know if you need me.

All right, I'll see you later.

Love you.

Love you too.

Appreciate it.

He's my boy.

I've got to make house calls.

I've got to make house calls.

It is what it is.

That's what you do.

You take care of your friends.

Ow!

Yeah, it's hot.

Oh.

As far as the bars on this bike,

Drew made these bars,

actually makes quite a few different sets of handlebars,

and it's one set of bars.

It was very unique, and I really liked it.

So I had asked him to fabricate a set of those for Grayball.

I'm not digging it, man.

Because these are going up in the air.

I wanted them to come down this way,

because anything.

And, you know, we got it on, put them on,

and they just didn't cut it.

First of all, the stretching, the rake and everything,

the position of the handlebars and whatnot,

it didn't work.

So we had to go to option B,

which was a set of kind of pull-back drag bars,

and even then we had to make like 8-inch spacers

to bring them up over the tank.

When you're building custom bikes,

every frame that we do has got like a different rake on it.

Normally when I build my Zeus bars,

it's for like a stock rake,

so I just went ahead and built them for that,

thinking I could just, you know, change the angles.

And they're cool like on a stock rake,

but with that 40-degree angle,

it just wasn't looking right.

You know what I'm saying?

It was just like real sharp edges,

and like everything on the bike was kind of like smooth,

so it wasn't really flowing.

What'd you cut yourself yesterday?

All right, you ready, brother?

Yes, sir, yes, sir.

Not you.

Nope, nope.

You, my friend.

Oh, it's the little things that make you laugh.

You know what I mean?

How's that look? Centered?

Just tack that corner in there.

If I get a shock, you're getting punched, man.

Ow!

Oh, s***.

All right, just get a little more tack.

Not on that side.

Just on that inside.

You know what I mean, bro?

I think it's got to go over that way a little bit,

but I think it's centered, right?

Downhill and over the hill.

Of course, he doesn't put his glasses on right now.

No.

All right, you know what?

He's the new guy.

You got to ride him.

Yeah, I got to, you know, put my time in.

He's got to get his initiation, man.

I'm easy on him.

Yes, sir.

Right.

Yeah, it's way too tight.

Let me see something.

And it's got to come.

Ow!

Yeah, it's hot.

It's already over.

It's already over.

All right, let's see.

Back to the drawing board.

Bring it over here, Mike.

You always prepare for these things,

but it never, ever works out.

Me and Mike have kind of a chemistry, you know?

So no matter what we do together, we have fun.

So the sissy bar entailed quite a bit of work.

I'm down.

I'm down.

You're going to burn someone's eyebrows off.

You know what happens?

We've made a bunch of sissy bars together,

and usually we get halfway

and have to start from the beginning again.

Yeah.

This is one of the rare times we didn't have to.

So that was kind of an accomplishment.

Right?

No, it was good.

It was good.

I enjoyed it.

Oh, great.

I don't want to tell anybody.

Thanks, Mike.

I appreciate you, brother.

Yep, you too.

I'll see you in hell.

So now that the paint and powder coat

for the Grey Bull bike is out,

it's time for a little R&R, a little us time.

So Paul's got a friend who owns an airboat place

with crocodiles and other stuff,

so it should be pretty interesting.

So we're going to go out, check that out,

and have some fun.

My name's David Schlum.

I'm one of the owners out here at Wild Bill's Airboat Tours.

Paul Sr., he's been coming out here

for a couple years hanging out with me.

I got one of his bikes in my house.

He's a really stand-up guy.

This is a day out for us.

We usually, almost on every show we do,

we take a day where we have a good time.

So we decided to come over here with Dave.

You know what, coming here today,

it's so funny because it's really peaceful,

and it's just a break from, you know, everyday life

between the shop, you know, the business side,

working off the farm, which I love.

You know, all of a sudden you come out here

and you forget about everything.

It's just a great break.

I have to admit it, I was a little bit scared

of Paul driving the boat

because we've all seen his truck, you know,

and he has no fear whatsoever.

Like, he doesn't, it's amazing.

You would think as you get older,

you would get a little bit, you know,

more fearful of things.

I think he's actually gotten worse

when it comes to that.

Zero fear, just hit it.

We all came out of our seats,

but it was so much fun.

This place was always an adventure.

We brought Haley in.

I've been watching her on her Instagram

for quite some time now.

She's a pretty amazing person.

She tells you like it is.

She's a little raw.

What she does, what I admire about her,

is she'll get her front end

that's bent and twisted and rusted

and she'll get an old rim

or old whatever it may be

and she'll fix it.

When the girl comes in,

I'm gonna have her work with you, Christian.

She's like really good with stringers, you know?

You ever see her on Instagram?

He showed me the, I checked her out.

I came in and they put me to work with Haley

and I wasn't very familiar with her working together

and she's, you know, she's got the trucker mouth going.

Cool girl.

Robber.

This girl's like loud.

You're amazing.

I would have thought for sure they'd be like...

Well, listen, I might not be right.

No, that's not gonna be right.

How many choppers do you think you've built?

A lot.

Oh crap.

We did over a thousand just on the show.

Yeah.

It's always the most dicey thing is putting the springs on.

Haley's fitting right in, like one of the team.

She's really good.

She's done front ends before in springers

so we knew that would be a good place to have her start.

Yeah, she's knocking it out.

Yeah, so this morning we came in.

Haley and I were working on getting the front brake

totally situated.

It's a lot of spacing.

It's a lot of math involved actually.

So we're just about done with that.

So yeah, we're off to a good start.

We're a little better than yesterday, I would say.

I found bikes, it's something like instinctively

I couldn't put my finger on it.

I just had to be on a bike.

I knew that it was something I had to do.

But all the bikes, like all the stock bikes,

for whatever reason, that was like some intuition

or something that was going on

where I didn't like any of the stock bikes either.

So he notices what I'm doing,

which a lot of people, they don't notice that kind of stuff.

They just want to see paint and chrome

and then that's what constitutes a build.

But obviously there's no chroming really around me

and so we got to make do with what we got

and we're making our own parts and he gets it.

He sees that.

Hurry up, go fast.

Dude, look at that spring.

That'll work?

So today Jim and I are just working on some odds and ends.

I got some wiring I'm doing.

Just making sure everything's tight, locked, ready to go.

All right, so I think we got most of it.

Yeah.

Jim had received the paint yesterday

and he noticed there was a little difference

in the shade of the gray.

So we called Paul in to see what he thought of it.

When I came in, the tanks were in here

and the color gray that was on the gas tanks

opposed to the bars and the other stuff that we used for accent

on the front end and the primary

was a totally different color.

Well, the tins and stuff came in yesterday.

The tins?

Yeah, they look amazing, but I think we have an issue.

So let me grab one.

I can see it already.

Yep, that's the issue.

Ken did another amazing job on the paint.

It's amazing.

Let me grab you a piece so we can hold it next to it

so you can see what the difference is.

Ah, insane.

He's like a professional.

Professional?

Well, yeah, he's like a professional.

I don't know how we got him.

Yeah.

Yeah, right.

What's he doing?

A piece you can hold next to it.

You can definitely see the difference.

Oh my god.

It's way different.

Yeah, it is.

It's too much to leave.

It's a nice gray, but it's just not the same gray.

But there's so much of it on the bike,

you're going to notice it.

There was a few things we had to take off.

The primary handlebars, risers, part of the springer front end,

battery box, all to get repowder-coated

with this new powder-coater that we're using.

With the new powder-coater, why don't you give them a call?

Yeah, they're right down the street.

Hopefully they're there and we can do something with it.

I mean, it doesn't seem like we've got to take that.

That's going to be the biggest pain.

Front end, well, just the spring side of the front end,

bars, risers, primary, battery box.

How can I help you?

Hey, it's Jim from OCC.

How are you doing?

Good, how are you?

Good, thanks.

I got you on speakerphone with Paul and Chris.

Hey.

Hey, all.

So we just got some tins in for a bike we're building,

and the powder coat we had done previously to the bike

is not matching at all.

It's just way too different.

So I wanted to see if you guys could come down

with your sample pack and we can see if we can match it up

and get this fixed.

Yeah, absolutely.

We can head that way right now.

Yeah, give you a heads up so you can think about it

on your way over.

It's going to have to be a quick turn and burn like tomorrow.

Yeah, that's not a problem.

Yeah, cool.

Yeah, head on over.

You know where we're at, right?

That was easy.

You should have said today.

Once they get here, we take this stuff off.

We can start putting this stuff on.

Yeah, we can start taking this stuff off now

when we get here.

So what do you want to hit first?

You want to take all the hand controls and stuff off?

And we'll just have to do it little by little.

Because these bolts don't come all the way out, am I correct?

Which ones?

These?

These do.

They do?

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, barely.

So how many times did you put the bike together?

Hey, we're still not.

Hey, how are you?

Doing good.

Good.

Good to see you guys.

Thanks for coming out.

So like any custom build with a car, a bike, a house,

or whatever it may be, there's going to be issues.

The powder coat and the paint, the gray versions

just didn't match.

There was too much of an inconsistency to let it go.

So we had to get another powder coater to come in and fix it

and do it really quick.

And fortunately, CQ Coatings did that.

The real way to do it is do the powder coat

and have the paint match the powder coat.

But we didn't do it that way.

That's all right.

So that'll work.

That color will work, yeah.

Yeah, I can get this today from our supplier.

I'll pick it up, and we can have the parts done by tonight.

Yeah, that'll work.

I'll give you a call if something changes.

That's great.

That's great.

Navi, appreciate you guys running

and getting them done so quick.

Yeah, let's get this part over with.

It's got to go.

Yeah, we got plenty of room, right?

It's got to go like this, right?

Yeah.

Here, just put this in there.

If I hold that.

The thing part, remember, it would slide off of there,

so you got to have it, like, dead on.

So me and Christian were taking the spring apart,

not for the first time.

And we were using this tool that we used to use.

Man, we used it for years and years,

back in the old shop, even.

And I was compressing the spring.

That pulls the tension on the springs

so that you could release it and take the springs off.

And I pulled the whole stud out,

where the stud should have stayed,

just enough so that it came off.

So there was nothing holding that spring in,

and he still had it compressed.

And I noticed that the spring was bowing.

Christian started moving away.

He said, you need to hurry up.

And when I looked, the spring on the triple,

between the triple trees, was almost bent like a U.

And, I mean, there was a lot,

a lot of pressure underneath that spring.

So I tried to get him to go fast, fast, fast,

you know, loosen it, get it off.

And as soon as he said that, it let go.

And before I could even get that totally out of my mouth,

the thing went whipping across.

Dude, look at that spring.

I don't want, oh my.

Ow.

Well, that'll work.

You all right?

Holy crap.

Right there's good.

That thing hit me right in the wrist, bro.

You all right?

He's like, go fast.

It hit me, it hit me in the hand.

You know, I could still feel it.

We got a red mark there,

but I guess it could have been worse.

I mean, that thing went whipping.

And as a matter of fact,

we didn't see where the one piece went.

Jim found it on the floor afterwards.

That was it.
