All language subtitles for Orange County Choppers Original 2026 S01E05 720p WEB H264-JFF[EZTVx.to]

This week on "orange
county choppers original."

Our friend Fran is doing a bike with us

to bring awareness to an organization

that deals with animals and veterans.

Like, could there be eagle wings

kind of making the sidecar?

All the way through the whole build,

there was just issues.

This is red, these are orange.

Look at the difference.

We fixed it and finished it.

This is gorgeous.

So, in typical occ fashion,
we just finished a bike

and we got started on
the next one already.

And our friend Fran, who
we've known for quite some time

since we've been down here in Florida,

is doing a bike with
us to bring awareness

to an organization
that deals with animals

and veterans and PTSD.

Paul's got some cool ideas
for it and some cool colors.

So I'm looking forward
to working on this one.

What's going on?

He wonders why I don't
want him to drive my truck.

Did anybody else happen to
notice that he jumped the curb?

Don't say a word to me inside.

Drive your truck. Hi, good morning.

- Look at you!
- How are you?

- Fabulous!
- Good to see you.

Good to see you.

- How are you, Jim?
- Long time.

- Good to see you.
- Hi Tony.

- I'm heading up north, honey.
- It's cold today.

I'm heading up north
in a couple of hours.

- How are you?
- You look awesome.

So I was like, well,
half winter, half Florida

and we're in winter in
Florida right now anyway.

You look beautiful and
I have goosebumps.

- Come on in you guys.
- You look fabulous as always.

Never been out this way before.

No matter where Fran goes,

she brings an energy that is unmatched.

So, you guys, I have
two friends with me today,

they're very special to me.

George colella is a 9/11
survivor, very close friend.

Patrick Bradley, a Vietnam vet.

We've done a lot of things together.

Patrick works with rescue animals,

specifically birds of prey
to help veterans with PTSD.

And George, the president
of our motorcycle group here,

he's helped us in Tallahassee.

We go up there at
least a few times a year

to advocate for bikers rights,

and nothing brings joy,
I feel like, to everyone,

than rescue animals.

I totally agree.

It's necessary.

That's a good way, I agree with you.

Get veterans and we
put a bird on their arm

and send 'em for a walk in the park.

Like, could there be eagle wings,

kind of making the sidecar
and have the eagle come,

and the eagle can come in here?

- Yeah.
- You know?

- It's a big boy.
- I'll put it on the table.

- Okay.
- Wow.

- Let me move out the way.
- That's huge.

I mean, you could probably
make something cool

off the handle bars,

so that the bird could be on
the handle bars, you know?

Make something that
could come off or on,

but something cool, you know?

Yeah, make the bars the perch.

I love that idea.

Or off of the bars, one or with two.

Every time I build a bike it's, you know,

I start out in a certain direction

but it never goes that way.

Of course not, change
is part of the process.

- I know that from you, come on.
- Yeah.

You know you're gonna
eventually pull this,

- put the two together.
- That's right.

Gotta make sure it's
safe for you and the animal

and whoever else is riding it.

He always does that.

That tells the story really well.

- Say hi to thunder.
- Wow.

I don't know if these guys are

or not, but... hi, good girl.

Do you want a fox instead of her?

Hi, good girl. How are you?

I think she should go close to Patrick.

Hi sweet girl, how are you?

- She doing good?
- Hi.

So, she's a bird that
loves to come close to you

and give what we call thunder hugs.

She'll wrap her wing
around you for a hug.

That's cool.

Paul and joannie and I
have so much in common,

the way we love the animals.

For me to have this opportunity for him

to build a bike for me,

I can't wait to see what he has in store.

I'm excited about it, but I think you'll have

a whole lot of things
coming together here.

So, you have the love of animals.

Fran rides, so she
wants it to be ride able.

I think this bike is gonna present

some pretty significant challenges,

but I'm looking forward to it.

Bike number five.

So, really the term "chopper" is really

chopping up your bike, you know.

Back in the day,
people had stock harleys

and, to customize 'em, you know.

You'd be cutting the necks
off or stretching the down tubes

or cutting a Fender,
you know, and basically,

that's what a chopper is.

Today we're gonna
continue the eagle bike.

We left off with the rear Fender.

We're putting a tire on
here that's not the right tire.

It's a bigger tire in height and width.

But the hubs are the
same, so able to line it up

with the transmission so
that I could adjust the wheel

where it's gotta be
and mount the defender

and also be able to mount the chain.

But we still got the exhaust to do.

We gotta mount the gas tank.

The front end's gotta be
put together and put on.

So, there's quite a bit of work,

that's why I'm bringing in drew.

There's no shortage of things to do.

So, kace's been here working
on the mural on the wall

that Paul commissioned her for.

So, it's great to see the
transition of a blank wall

come into a a completed thing,

which we're in the
middle stages of right now.

The idea's amazing. What
she's painting looks great.

The colors are popping
and definitely a representative

of Paul and his love of
music in the seventies.

So, I think it's gonna
turn out to be a really

piece of artwork.

We built the bar like
that over there, right?

And then she made the
bird come back like that.

And it looks like it's
almost blowing in the wind.

That looks cool. It's different
than we were thinking.

We were thinking the
feather's built into the frame.

- But that's cool.
- Yeah.

We have to remember,
we still have to make a perch

for the bird, real bird to sit on.

We're gonna do that off the handlebar.

And I was thinking about
that and you're correct,

that's what we were planning.

But when you tilt the bars like this,

the perch isn't gonna
be straight anymore.

You have to keep the tire straight.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Yeah, you'll have to keep the tire straight.

Yep. Just, so... I mean the bird-

yeah, I mean that bird
could hang any way it wants,

but yeah, you would want
to keep it straight, you know?

And she thinks you can
knock that out in the time

- you gave her?
- I don't know.

Like, we have to look at
what is a perch for an eagle,

'cause I'd looked it up and it was like,

almost like a two by four.

I came across Jen, we
started going back and forth

a little bit, and as we
were doing the shows,

I couldn't, like nothing seemed to fit.

We decided this is a perfect time for Jen

and that's how we brought
Jen in the eagle bike.

Yeah.

Is it gonna have like the
wings kind of spreading out

and all that or... I think it's gonna come,

I think if it looks like that, it'll be cool

- because it'll look like it's... flying.
- You know,

it'll look pretty cool, you know.

- Yeah.
- All right, let's go.

- Let's put the motor in.
- Right now?

Yeah. Sound good?

Hey, day three or four
working on the eagle bike.

Things went pretty well today.

Drew came in, has been
helping us with the rear Fender

and the struts and he is
now working on the exhaust.

I think it's going well. No hiccups yet.

Tomorrow we're gonna
take the Fender off,

bring it over to Anthony
who's gonna work on a perch

we're doing for a
special piece of metal art

that's going on the back of it.

I think we'll get this one done,

at least fabrication on time.

That way we can get out
to paint and powder coat

and move on to the next one.

What are you? Executive delegate?

- Executive delegate.
- Or ed?

- The ed.
- Mike is the ed now.

So, we decided to come
over to Anthony's this morning

because he's got the
equipment that, that we need

to complete the rear
Fender and he doesn't know it

but I'm gonna have him do a couple

other things while we're here.

But yeah, so we're gonna
just grab a hold of the Fender

and a few other things
and go over it with Anthony

and start rolling the perch.

I guess you'd call it
perch with the rear Fender

and go from there.

- That look cool?
- Yeah, that's perfect.

Pretty much straight
from there, and then-

then I could cut
wherever I want right here.

You done it again Anthony. We love you.

Okay, I'll get you one for Christmas.

- Okay.
- There you go.

- Or maybe your birthday.
- Okay.

Paul brought me a Fender

and then we ended up cutting
a piece, an inch-and-a-quarter.

We ring-rolled it, capped the ends

and then mounted it to the Fender,

and then from there we made
some handlebars real quick.

We bent 'em in our mandrel bender

and then made a simple
drag bar so when he gets back

to the shop he could fit it all
together and go from there.

The piece turned out good.
It's exactly what we wanted.

It really helps keep
us ahead of the game,

'cause if we had to do
it would take forever.

Now back to the shop so I
could yell at drew a little bit

to get these bars and everything finished.

- Did you get it?
- Yeah, I got it.

Yeah, we'll have to get it normal.

Yeah, I think you'll be fine there, right?

All right.

- Take the Fender off.
- All right.

- Right?
- Yeah,

I was just thinking we
gotta bend that a little more.

Bend that more.

Go with the saw and cut
that right off over there.

- The what? The sharpie?
- Yeah.

- Wouldn't it just explode?
- I hope so.

Watch now, get it where you want it.

You got it? You got it?

I've never seen that
before, man. That's funny.

I guess I learn new stuff every day.

I don't know if this is gonna work or not.

Well, it's a one-time-only
sharpie, though.

It's a one-time-only.

Today and today only.

Does it look like I got it?

- Yeah?
- That'll work.

Yeah, I'm all like, we gotta take,

we gotta cut the tacks off... yeah,

you cutting everything-and redo it.

You would drill it out.

Like no, we'll just make a new sharpie.

Lucky thing I thought about
putting that Fender on first.

- Why? What happened?
- It's way too forward.

I don't know how it happened.

What? The... yeah,

the post for it, it's like right here.

Yeah. So we're kicking it up like that.

'Cause it was like, it
would've been in your back.

Yeah, - that's what-

so, we're just jumping a
hole, like reusing this too

and put one over here.

Good deal. Everything's
ready to get prepped.

He's shooting everything tonight.

As soon as drew has a
second and fills that hole,

I'll bring that back over to him.

We'll have that all tomorrow.

I drew a line on there where I thought

that perch should have been,

I don't know whether
we just moved it up further

or whatever, but it's in the wrong spot.

So, what we're just gonna
do is we're gonna shift it back

a hole and that seems to work.

I had to make a little special tool for that.

We had to waste one of our sharpies,

but we were able to get in there,

make enough circle in
there to get the center

and center punch it, so...

- Well, this is a custom shop.
- Yeah.

You gotta have custom sharpies.

Well, everything's a one-off in here.

- Yeah.
- Right, kiddo?

It's not like we don't
leave 'em sitting around

with the caps off every day,

so we have to throw 'em out tomorrow.

Yeah, exactly.

My boy over there is
finishing up the handle bars.

So, I think that when the trees come in,

we'll mount that stuff,
get the front end lined up,

put the brakes on
and all that kind of stuff.

We gotta mount the seat, we
still gotta mount the gas tank,

but hopefully we pretty
much have to get it done today

to really start the next project.

Christian will be in
tomorrow, and so will Mikey,

so that'll be a huge help.

All right. What do you got
going on over here, slick?

I'm just gonna tack this together.

See what you think
about the width of the bars.

It's looking pretty cool.

I think it's still wide, don't you?

Yeah, I think it's a little
wide, some spreading.

Plus Fran's gonna be riding it, right?

- Yeah.
- So, probably,

I would go a little bit narrow.

Take an inch of off of this?

- Yeah.
- Can you? And still be, yeah.

Yeah. I found this under the table

so you can set the angle that you want.

So, I set it at 30 degrees to
match the rake of the frame.

So, yeah, that kind of worked out.

I didn't have to make anything.

I wish I would've known
about that weeks ago,

to be honest with you.

That would've helped me out.

I think drew's almost done with the bars.

Going to put the front end
together, line all that up.

The rear tire, the right rear tire,

we gotta put the spacers
in caliper, the seat pan.

And we're pretty much ready to go.

So, unless something else comes up,

I think we're still kind
of pretty much on target.

- Yeah.
- It's a good height, drew.

- Sweet.
- Yeah, so I think we,

we had a pretty good day today.

This pan's taking a little
bit longer than I expected,

but yeah, tomorrow, probably
a couple hours tomorrow.

We'll break it down,
send it out and, you know,

for powder coat and stuff, so yeah.

So, we'll finish it up tomorrow.

Can we call you drew?
Are we your friends?

Yeah, I thought we were, I
thought we'd been friends.

Kind of like.

Depends on the day, bro.

Hey, the first year I worked for him,

I don't think he knew my first name.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. You're lucky.

It was that air force guy,
go get that air force guy.

Yeah.

So, I realized that I'm cursing too much.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Right.
- You know what I mean?

So, watch your mouth, alright?

So, that's the way
that seat's going, right?

- Yeah.
- That's pretty cool.

- It is.
- I wanna sit on it.

- Let's get up there.
- You can do it.

You can do it now.

Yeah. I like the way the seat came out.

It was actually pretty cool.

Yeah, it's a cool setup.

- Who thought of that?
- I'm taking credit for it.

- Without a doubt.
- Good, bro?

Yeah, it should be enough for, I think for,

for her or... right.

Whoever's probably
gonna be perfect, you know.

- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?

I mean I can ride it
like this no problem, but-

yeah, it looks like it'd be a
comfortable ride like that.

- Yeah.
- All right.

We got everything mocked up.

The front end was
mocked up. The seat's done.

Pretty much everything's done.

So we're taking the part
and we're gonna send it out

to paint and powder coat.

We have Mikey here, probably
one of the bigger reasons

why we're at this point now,

because he has a new title now.

Executive, what are
you? Executive delegate?

Executive delegator, or ed. The ed.

Executive... I'm ed.

Mike is the ed.

So that would be a ton of fun.

What we're gonna do is
we're gonna take this off,

separate everything and then by noon,

we'll have the second
project up on the lift

and we'll get going on that.

Today I got a new title.

I'm no longer just the
delegator, I'm the, what is it?

- Executive.
- Executive delegator, the ed.

Which you know is a common
term for erectile dysfunction.

So no matter what kind
of rank you gain, you know,

you're always the butt of the joke.

The veins doing it for you.

Look at the veins popping, bro.

I've been doing this
for, like, 45 years now.

- Pretty consistent, you know?
- Yeah.

Yo Murphy performance
is a gym that I stop by

every once in a while.

- Hi, how are you?
- I'm all right.

I'm looking for Mike and Keith.

Mike and Keith? Okay, awesome.

Gonna do a little... I'll take you over.

They're working out in the corner.

Thank you.

- Big Paul.
- What's up, brother?

Hey man, we're all
warmed up to do some legs.

I don't know if you wanna hop in with us

and do some legs with us?

- No legs.
- No?

Bi's and tri's today.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

All right, we'll switch up. We'll join you.

- How are you?
- Bi's and tri's?

- Yeah, my man.
- All right.

- Yeah.
- Right here?

They asked me to come in,
work out with them, you know,

it was bicep, tricep day for me.

They would've killed
me in any other area.

- It never goes away.
- We just veins.

I've been doing it for... look,

you got veins popping, bro.

For like 45 years now.

- Pretty consistent, you know?
- Yeah.

When I met Keith and Mike,
they asked if I came down here

and have a little workout with those guys.

It fits into my schedule,

what I would do in my regular gym today.

I got a little pumped there

and it was really enjoyable
working out with those two guys.

Workout with Paul
senior was unbelievable.

Came in and notched it and
said, let's do, let's do guns.

And I'm like, all right, that's cool with me.

And I'm just, I'm happy to be a part of it

and I'm honored to be here
and get a workout in with Paul.

And it was beautiful working with Paul,

you know what I mean,
he's a living legend

but it was great to get in
here and to load up these guns.

You guys gotta watch out,

'cause we already know he's
got a lot more beautiful work

coming your way.

You know, those guys
are always giving back.

Great guys, great gym
and yeah, I had a good time.

My name is Jen loree.

When I graduated high school,

I went and got my welding ticket.

When I had my daughter,
I bought a little welder

and I started just making
whatever would come to mind.

I started welding in our
single-car garage at home.

- All right, guys.
- It ain't class.

A throw out bearing, install.

Yeah, it's been kind of
a trip coming back here,

working on choppers
again, putting bikes together.

Especially working with Paul.

And I've known Jim for a lot of years too.

And Mikey of course, and Joan.

I blew my fingers off.

It kind of looked like, you
know, when you're done with

the roll of toilet paper, the tube?

It was that size.

You wanna put the motor in,

because that's gonna keep it from tilting

when you put the front end on it.

Yeah, I'm all about that.

Otherwise it's gonna tilt

every time we do something on it.

I'm all about it.

Wheel her over here, Jim.

- Just a little more.
- Down?

Yeah, a little bit.

That should be good.

Give it a bear hug, Jim. I got this.

- Give her the pepper.
- Man.

You gonna put this
in first on these ones?

Yeah, because you gotta be able to put,

you hold it up there and put this in, right,

while these go in?

You're gonna have to
knock that bearing out.

Hold on. Am I being dumb?

- I'm not, right?
- No, not at all.

Why is it that we're always
looking for something?

I dunno.

- Jim?
- I don't know.

Maybe you could answer that question.

Keep looking for love
in all the wrong places.

- Yeah.
- How much space you got?

I'm up front between
the bearing and the-

- I'm on it.
- All right.

These go in between them.

You have a hold on this for a sec?

Yep.

You're saying that this
don't have enough on?

- I'm calling you a liar.
- What?

You switched the bolt since I said that?

No, I didn't switch anything.

It was only hanging out
like not even a quarter inch.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

That's the problem.

You're the one who said and I quote-

that's the problem.

"There's two threads. That's enough."

- We're almost there, Jim.
- We're rocking.

So, smt sent us some really nice rims.

These are gonna look awesome.

Nice chrome, got a nice design
to it. They match everything.

They put the hubs on that we asked for,

so they do a really good job.

They get 'em to us quick
with our short cutoffs

and deadlines, they're
still able to meet our needs

and they're just great.

Their customer service is awesome.

When we call 'em, they ship 'em out

as soon as they get 'em done.

And yeah, we're super happy with them.

The hardware is nice, you know?

The mounting hardware on the
sprocket, you know what I mean?

They use 12 point bolts for front.

Yeah. The chrome is just phenomenal

and so is your powder coating.

Pull it up and push it forward.

Push the whole mechanism
forward while you're...

- Hey.
- We got y'all, face to face here.

- How you making out?
- How's it going?

Yeah, good. Good, still working.

Still working. I'm sure you are too, right?

Yeah, yeah. I pulled a
21-hour day yesterday.

My god. I can't do the
21-hour days anymore.

- Do you wanna see the eagle?
- I wanna see the eagle.

It's coming along now.
What do you think?

I think it's crazy-looking.

- Holy.
- Good?

Yeah, it's wild.

So, what else you gotta do to it?

Well, I made some feathers last night.

Put some feathers on
that bird, it looks naked.

I know, so I'm gonna detail
all of these individually,

these smaller ones.

- How'd you cut them?
- All by hand.

- Did you really?
- I did.

Well, my cnc is not in this shop.

What's our plan, though?

So, I'm gonna finish putting
all the feathers on today.

I'll probably be pretty close
by tonight to finishing this

and then tomorrow morning
I'm just gonna spend the morning

just doing the little details.

But I'll be done by tomorrow afternoon.

So you'll be here when?

We're gonna fly up Friday night.

All right, guys, have
a good night, all right?

- Thank you.
- Bye, Paul.

Thank you.

Yeah, so we're gonna wrap it up now.

We probably started on
this around two o'clock

or something like that this afternoon.

But we did it good. We
got the whole roller together.

The rear bike, rear
calipers are on, everything's,

all the axle spaces are on.

Everything's centered out.

We have the front brake
on, the full front end on there.

We got the motor in
which I think that we,

we didn't really have a lot of problems.

Of course, we had the
tire off and on a few times,

but that's just par for the course.

So, tomorrow we'll get back on it.

Christian's gonna be wiring,

we'll probably be
working on either putting

the primary together
or putting a chain on,

and we're waiting on the bird.

Yeah, so I got in a little
early today for a change

and Christian was already
working on the wiring on the bike.

We found like one issue.

We had to open up the holes a little bit

on the motor mounts, so that's done.

So, we're gonna put the trans in now.

Try to line up, see how
the primary line's up

and get the chain on there
and then go from there.

I mean, if we get a good day in today,

we could probably be almost finished.

This is red, these are orange.

Definitely, it's a different...

Look at the difference.

You can see it before
even unwrapping it.

I can see, I can see
where too much red was,

- for the primary stuff?
- Yeah.

So we've been working with Talon

and the people from cq
for a couple months now.

They're right up the road.

They're really great people

and they turn the stuff
around for us really quick.

We bring 'em a lot of stuff last minute

and they don't hesitate
or struggle to get it done

and back to us.

So I'm just here for a couple days,

gotta head back to New York.

But I got going on the
wiring on Fran's eagle bike.

Just got everything as much as I could.

Everything pretty much
where just the ends had to be,

you know, connected, soldered, finished.

So, I kind of left, I drew a
diagram and hope for the best.

Fingers crossed, I told 'em
they could call me, though.

Yeah, so it was kind of a
crazy day today, you know.

The powder coater, which
probably we should have told him,

but he powder coated
where the controls go on there

and we had to sand all that down,

which is kind of a pain in the ass.

Where I thought that the
taillight bracket was gonna be

and still look all right,
doesn't look good at all.

And, of course, the bike is painted

so you can't really
weld any tabs on there.

So, I don't know. You know,
tomorrow's another day.

I did figure that we would
be a little bit further ahead

than we are now, and then,
you know, even tomorrow

there's certain things that
we're gonna have to figure out

to make work, I guess.

It's probably time to walk away

and get a fresh start tomorrow.

Kind of like all the way
through the whole build

there was just issues.

- The eagle has landed.
- The eagle, wow.

Holy. Put it on the table over there.

- I wanna get a better at it.
- We had the driver

waiting outside the shop and I'm,

I know in my head now,

it is coming to terms with the fact

that there's no way this is getting done.

Call Jim up.

They still needed the Fender on Friday.

So then we got together,
figured out a new plan

and I ended up bringing
the half done piece up here.

Do you like the color?

I like it. I like it a lot.

Yeah, I was gonna do... where's the bar?

So, there's one and then
it's gonna have claws.

And I have the bar. I have the bar here.

That mounts to the Fender?

- Yes, sir.
- Okay.

- And that goes...
- So, I have claws.

They're already welded and sculpted.

So, I'm gonna weld the claws on,

we'll mount it to the bar.

I thought if we could bolt
the bar onto the Fender-

- I gotta be honest with you.
- Yeah?

This bird looks 10 times
bigger on the pictures.

- Yeah.
- I was, like, holy

we're gonna have to go
on a wide Lane highway.

Something like that.

That's crazy.

That's crazy, man.

But it's gonna be up on the-

something beyond my realm.

Like, you know, she's an artist

and to see it in person, it's
really impressive, her skill.

He's sitting more or less like that,

but it'll connect to this, right?

Well, the bar it's mounted
on that plate, right,

- it goes up and sits across.
- Right.

And then the talons are,
like, grabbing on to her

like we talked about.

Jen probably spent almost
24 hours a day for five days

to get it done.

That says all about someone.

Start with the head, build the frame,

and now we're just
covering it all with feathers.

So, we've been cutting feathers

for the past four days straight.

20, 21 hour days,

'cause you can cut 'em but
then we gotta clean 'em all

and then, you know, I
gotta detail 'em a little bit.

So, it's all a process,
but we are so close.

Listen, I think it's a great opportunity,

this great opportunity to bring people in

that are such talented,

to give them the opportunity that I had,

and the recognition that they deserve.

So, we just got done with the day.

It's been a very busy day.

There's a lot going on outside the shop,

but a lot going on inside the shop.

Started working on the bike this morning,

was moving along great
and Jen showed up with Sean,

start working on artwork for this.

I was planning to have
this done at my shop

the day before.

We're gonna pull a light one tonight

and get this thing all ready for tomorrow.

- Wow. Ooh.
- I'm gonna paint-

- hi, Mike.
- Hey, Paul.

How are you, buddy?

How was your flight?

Next time you fly in you could fly...

My eagle air over this thing, man.

Eagle air, brother.

Let's take it off and we
gotta bring it to Anthony's.

- Got it?
- Yeah.

You can put it right here.

Let me go back in and
get everything ready.

I didn't expect the bird to be so heavy.

I thought it'd be, like, 15 pounds.

It was more like 50.

And I was gonna put it up
like a parrot or something

and joke around,

but it's a little too heavy
and it's a little too early.

- Yes.
- We got it done.

Parts are missing again.

This sprocket we need
for the transmission

to button up the whole primary,

but Mikey teutul was here
today, made his presence.

So, that's always a morale booster.

Yeah, we got another bike

we gotta put up on the lift this week

and finish this up.

So, that's about where we're at.

How's it going in here?

It is going fantabulous.

And your chain's still real tight?

It's probably right just
about where it should be.

That's the way it's supposed to be.

- Mike use the break.
- What are you doing?

Sorry.

- You know where you are?
- Shut up.

All right. All right.

- Like that?
- Yeah.

We got it. We already
checked it, Jim and I.

- Jim and I?
- Jim and I, Jim and I.

We had it together with
the primary on, I believe.

Did you ream out the
transmission or just the motor?

It's running crooked.

You all right? You look a little tired.

Waiting for that coffee, right?

It perked you right up there earlier.

You get a little perky?

Yeah, when I leave here I do worry that,

you know, there's gonna
be nobody delegating.

My father's a bit aloof

and I think everybody
else who works for him

wants to kill him.

So, I'm sort of like the bridge,

you know, the ladder there.

I imagine the place is probably
gonna go to hell without me.

Well, Paul's kinda like me.

He don't have much to say.

I don't like to talk too much.

We get along.

We don't have to have a conversation,

we can just do what we
gotta do and get it done.

Yeah, I think what we're gonna do today

is we gotta get these struts
sent back to Anthony's.

He's gonna clean them up.

We gotta get 'em back
to the powder coater.

Al's gotta finish the wiring.

I gotta put the cables on,
the oil lines gotta go on,

the front brake gotta be bled.

If things go smooth

we should be able to
accomplish all that stuff.

So, Jim from Jim's just in
time leather did the seat.

It's a different color
leather than we usually use.

We usually dark but
Paul wanted something tan

to go with the candy
red, and it looks great.

My suggestion would be
let's get the cables on here

and bring that over to the powder coater

and let him do that in red too.

And he's gonna have...
well, lemme do it now

'cause if he's spraying those... yeah.

I mean we don't need it now, right?

No, but he has to empty the gun

and clean the system every
time he changes his colors.

Right. It would look much
better, blend much better.

- Right?
- Yeah.

- Lot of wires, al.
- Yeah, they me in the.

Christian was in before
me and he did half of it

and I came in and finished it up.

You know, it is a little tough

when somebody starts something

and you gotta pick up afterwards.

Yeah, I've known Alan
for a bunch of years now.

He spent a lot of time at occ.

Take his, you know, his
shirt off his back for you

kind of guy, and just like, no nonsense.

Let's work, let's get
this done, whatever it is

I'll stay here till four in
the morning, I don't care

kind of guy.

A lot of wiring.

You know, it's a bike that
somebody's gonna ride,

so you got, you know,
you got your blinkers,

you got your horn, you got everything

that a regular bike would have.

Not a cut up chopper,

where you're only running
a headlight with two wires.

So, hiding it all in the
headlight, small headlight,

Paul wanted the small headlight,

so it was tough stuffing all that in there.

10 pounds in a five pound box.

So, it all worked out in the end.

And, kind of, all the way
through the whole build

there was just issues.

Issue after issue that
we had to deal with.

But you know what, we
dealt with 'em one at a time.

You know, everybody was in the game

and we dealt with 'em all and, you know,

we fixed it and finished it.

It took me a while to
figure out what to do here,

- you know?
- This is gorgeous.

This is our bike.

We're gonna unveil the bird bike,

take it out for a test
ride just to see how it is,

and then we're gonna get it loaded up

and it should be a good day.

- You pulled it off.
- Well, we'll see.

That looks real good.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, you won't notice the difference.

- That's good. Not bad at all.
- Beautiful. Yeah.

- Good.
- Good deal.

- That looks sharp.
- Like, right here,

very close to the frame too.

No, you did a good job.

I love the color.

You could never go wrong
with candy apple red, man.

That's right.

Well, let's take this off of here.

I gotta see what it does.

So, all the issues, all the hard work,

bike fired right up.

Took it out for a little ride.

Brakes were perfect.

Clutch was perfect.

Loaded it on the trailer and
we on our way over there.

It ran perfect, started right up

sounds great, looks amazing.

So, we're gonna get it on the trailer,

head on over and we're
gonna have an amazing reveal

and I think it's gonna
be another occ great.

You could not have
asked for a better reveal

than the reveal at Fran,

because the energy that Fran has,

and it's contagious to
everyone around her.

Fran and all that she
does in this community

that this many people would come out.

And I think we all know
that Fran is amazing

in her support of veterans and animals,

and I can't think of two
better things to support.

Wow! My god!

My god!

- Don't make me cry.
- Geez.

So, Paul's gonna tell you about the bike.

So, you know, first of
all, we love this lady.

Everybody loves her.

Everybody evidently does, yeah.

So when she asked us to do this bike,

it was kind of like, I couldn't really,

it took me a while to
figure out what to do here.

- You know?
- This is gorgeous.

This is our bike, because
this is our biker community.

We've been doing this
together since we started

and I'm grateful for all of
you coming out here today.

This is incredible turnout.

You, Paul, and joannie,
and Jim and your entire crew,

you guys are amazing.

Your production crew
has been wonderful.

We've had a really great time doing this.

Unbelievable.

Like, surpassed what
I thought it would be.

I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.

I started hearing about the metal work,

everything else that was gonna go into it,

but the perch on the rear, it's awesome.

It's an amazing bike.

I feel like I'm living the American dream.

I can't believe that I'm sitting here today

with this gorgeous bike.

My favorite color. This is amazing.

The eagle can perch up here.

So, you're gonna see
me at all the events

and you're gonna see this bike a lot.

Thank you, Paul.

It's absolutely beautiful. I love it.

She does a lot for the community

and pretty much everywhere.

The veterans especially.

It was pretty cool driving in with the bird.

It's something that's very, very different

and it took a while to get
the creative juices going

to do something like that.

So, yeah.

And I'm glad I do it, and I thank Jen.

Jen really pulled it off.

You know, she does so
much for the community,

not just the motorcycle community,

the animal community, the veterans.

I mean, she just never stops giving.

The whole crowd
seemed to really appreciate

the artwork on the bike.

So, can't ask for any more than today.

I am so proud of Paul

and the entire orange
county chopper crew

that all these years later,

they're still pumping out awesome bikes.

Like, how many different twists

can you make on a motorcycle?

I thought they did it all,

and then I see this and
say, "there's something new."

So, really happy for Paul

and really happy for the
Fran haasch law group

'cause they're great
people and very deserving.

So, the job that you guys did,

with orange county chopper
putting this bike together,

and specifically for this
person who loves motorcycles,

but she loves serving our veterans,

she loves serving our community.

And this bike tells a story.

I mean the custom eagle
on the back was a chef's kiss.

I used to ride and I would
kill for a bike that nice.

That is just gorgeous.

Just unbelievable.

And that sculpture, holy...

Well, I can't say that. Sorry.

Thank you, occ!
