My absolute favorite show. I am originally from Newburgh New York Orange County. I have had the pleasure of going everyone of their locations and meeting each one of the guy's as a matter of fact I got to take a private tour of their last location and Mike was my tour guide. Best day of my life.
Thus is awesome! My husband is an avid motorcycle rider and we have been to the O.C. Chopper museum and restaurant when they were in upstate New York.
I faithfully watched that show all the time it was my favorite lol can’t wait to watch this.
Me too! I really enjoyed the show. Thank you for watching.
Love these Taiwanese door stops. Wished they'd of showed the disappointment of the new motorcycles owners, when they actually tried to use one.
I'm going to have to get there and visit. 👍👍
Nice bikes nothing beats riding on a sunny day with friends. Glad you posted this video.🙂
BUT YOU CANT RIDE THESE BIKES, THEY ARE USELESS CRAP.
The FDNY bike was my favorite. I'm a former firefighter and now disabled. Keep the great videos coming. Congratulations on the engagement. You both have great channels.
It's not as impressive close up.
Amazing how Sr. Was able to recover after bankruptcy so quickly. Great place .
lol - yeah, interesting how that works - ya know? The business is somehow Separate from the personal account and if the business itself fails, then that's what goes into Bankruptcy...
@@xtraflo thats the way how you setup a business...You got one with the tools and another one which "rents" the tools...
and if it goes down the drain, you got your tools safe
🤔🤔
I'll never forget that POW Bike and the build on the show. My uncle was a POW in Viet Nam and is one of only a few FEW Americans to ever escape!
BTW, OCC is in partnership with the HD dealership as the entire operation was moved from NY to St. Pete. While OCC still makes bikes they also co-host Bert's St. Pete's Bike Fest. Thanks for taking us along on this!
The Christmas bike was easily the best one. That place looks really neat! So glad you got to check it out! I love you!
too bad about the fries tho ;)
Get to the choppa! Must have been cool to see those in person they really came up with some cool ideas for bikes on that show!
I remember the show well! I love Paul Tuttell! I had an OCC ball cap, it " disappeared" one day...😞 I didn't know about this Roadhouse, wow very very cool 😎 Thanks for the tour! I see so many things I would buy! LOL 💜
Paul sr is a total asshole who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.
On the FDNY Bike there was a rivet from a girder off the World Trade Center on the tank. That was so cool! Great job showing all the detail. Thanks for taking us along with you.
I thought that had to be from the WTC. Thank you Joanne. Thank you for coming with me. Glad you enjoyed it
This was cool Tampa Jay. I used to watch the show years ago. I remember some of the bikes you showed when they were built on the show. How cool.
It is cool that they have so much memorabilia in that restaurant. I used to watch the show all the time.
I took the time to Order a shirt from Bert's; it Honours Bert's H-D War Memorial. 🇺🇲 🦅
I'd met Paul Sr in Elyria oh driving his bike that Paulie got him several years ago,he'd seen I knew who he was stopped and talked to me 😊a very big dude and very nice man ,I'm 6'6 he's at least 6'4 we'd talked for about 10 minutes! I could go on of our conversation a really cool person 😊
Awesome, I used 2 watch OC Choppers, & remember many of the bikes. The wall of pets, so cool. The burger brisket made my mouth water lol. What a beautiful day there & as always thx 4 taking us all along on your adventure
Saw a lot of these bikes at the HQ building in NY back in 2012, glad to see they're still around.
Love it Tampa Jay been huge fan Orange Country Chopper/American Chopper since 2003!! Ps. One more thing “flamingos” love all your and cristhegirls vlogs!! Much love to you both!!
That was a great show back in the day. Good stuff Jay. Rays are looking solid so far too this year.
Thanks you Tommy Rays up!!
@@TampaJay is occ they
Dont need to hate occ they made great show back then its sad how it ended wish them all best luck
Great video! my former employer had me make constant trips to the former now defunct Orange County choppers location. So I was able to make constant interactions with all of the staff of the Orange County choppers when it was still in New York, even while it was filming, there were times I was leaving, not allowed to go inside because of filming was taking place. Like I said, the location is now closed and it’s pretty good to see that he recovered his assets and was able to carry on his legacy down in Florida as well.
Another great one. My cousin works for Homeland Security, rides bikes and lives right down the block from the original OCC building. They used to shut the road down for filming. I have met most of the cast, all great guys. Especially Paul Sr. Really nice guy.
Thank you !
Hey, Jay, thank you for the tour of the OCC. restaurant never had the opportunity to visit Florida. But maybe one of these days who knows I just might, thanks again for sharing👍👍👍💯💪🏼
i love the show i was really sad that the show closed
I watched those chopper shows as well. I did not know they moved things over to St Pete. The fire bike was always my favorite. Thanks Jay.
My sons and I use to watch orange county choppers. It's fascinating what they can do
Loved seeing the bikes, remembering all the shows I saw the bikes on.
We saw governor Desantis there back during his reelection run against Charlie Crist. A pretty cool place!
That is Pinellas Park, but it is so close to the border of Saint Petersburg that it can be easily confused I work and live not far from there.
Nothing of OCC in New York. Once Sr sold everything, he brought everything to FL. However JR still has his shop in NY.
Would love to visit Paul Jr’s shop! Love his work.
Bottle cap Indians.
Just saw senior at the car show in Celebration on ATW's vlog recently!
Love me some motorcycles! Sadly, Sold my Harley 2 years ago.. I sure miss riding! Thanks for this fun video!😊
Can’t believe it’s 21 years ago for them original bikes
Thats so freaking awesome! LOVE that FDNY Bike!! Very nice display for it too!
That is So Cool 😎 I used to watch that show. Thanks for sharing this, Tampa Jay. 🏍❤️
Awesome video Tampa Jay! I remember watching American Chopper back in the day. Good memories!
Super cool bikes there. I used to like watching the show, I was amused by the fighting that Paul Senior and Paul Jr would show every week. Too bad how their relationship is. Thanks for showing us this episode TJ. Looks like a place I have to visit! On a side note. I'd love to get a motorcycle but people drive like crap all over, and I see people in cars that get right behind bikes all the time. Bad enough that they're tailgating a car, but doing the same with a bike is like they don't get they're going to run the biker over if the littlest thing happens
Awesome! I remember watching this show.
Loved watching this series; Sr v. Jr 😎👍
Grew up watching American Chopper
I remember all those bikes I used to watch the show back in the day were entertaining all. Is crazy moments in that show get episode though maybe if I ever make it down to Florida? I have to go check it out.
small world! I grew up in Orange County NY. Cornwall schools/. New Windsor, Newburgh area my old stopping grounds. moved to Florida in 1994 to Pinellas county. saw the tv series on tv. went to visit the museum in 2009 ish when I went home to visit. crazy!! I flew from st Pete clearwater airport DIRECT Finally! In September 2023 into Stewart airforce base to visit friends. saw the museum and shop were closed and not there anymore. when I flew back home into st Pete clearwater airport which is a half hour south from where I have lived the past 30 years,i was getting my suitcase from baggage claim and I was a display that said OCC museum and restaurant and a chopper on display. I was like what!! how cool is that! Crazy. Great area for them to be now! I lived a half hour from the shop they built in orange county ny and a half hour now from their new location. what are the odds?! : )
Great vlog, Jay! I had no idea the Tuttles owned a Roadhouse. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Awesome to see the Florida location. I have been to their New York location and it is very nice. Saw the FDNY bike there and some of the same photos on the walls. The food was very delicious as well. Check out the New York location if you can!
It was quite a rage back then seems like everyone was wanting a theme bike made by them. Good State for him to be in Florida as he is dealing with tax issues, probably influenced his decision for this location. They had a good run for a while there.
Hey Jay if you plan on come up to NY ever again I live right by OCC I’d be happy to show you around.
Happy early birthday my favorite UA-camr 🎉
This was a very cool video! Thanks for sharing 👍
We used to watch this show every week. Hope Jr and Pop are getting along these days
Cool video Jay I always wanted to check out that place because myself as well I always watched every episode that came out even when senior and Jr went there separate ways. But I feel the best decision Paul Senior ever made was not just moving to Florida but having that place as well in Florida too. So others can go and visit and enjoy it.
15:15 this was juniors web bike he had in his head he wanted to build. It was for noone
David mann bike was finished just a few days after david passed away.
If u go back go on new years eve its amazing
My favorite was the statue of liberty bike
It’s funny seeing all the bikes in Florida. I remember seeing them all by me for years. You should go and check out the videos I made from when they were here in NY. All know where all the filming locations are local to me.
You were near my house, hubby and I would have bought you lunch
Funny thing happened to me a couple of years ago in the Tampa area, my niece was getting married and at the restraunt after her rehearsal, Paul Sr. Was there at a table by himself, just so happens he got up as I was walking by and bumped me, he apologized and I just said, it's ok Paul. I was the only one who appeared to know who he was and we struck up a conversation for about 15 minutes. He's a really nice guy.
Great episode!
The green & black bike was called “Junior’s Dream Bike”, because he wanted to take everything he had learned doing the first 2 web bikes and make the ultimate web bike in terms of design and creativity.
It’s unfortunate the establishment doesn’t seem to acknowledge Paul Jr. very much, cause if it weren’t for his designs OCC might’ve been a successful bike shop but they NEVER would’ve become the most famous custom bike shop in the world.
I remember the show where Jr was gluing little rockets on to a motorcycle...never had such a laugh.
And now they are a big nobody, just goes to show how far you can fall!
i loved Rick on the show
Me too Rick was awesome
Tampa jay me and Paul SR have some thing in
common with each other that is getting angry
my job i worked at they would not stop making
me angry i told them i quit now i stay home with
my mother i am no longer mad but happy
I don't know the show, not into cycles, (tho I think they're cool! ) But what a great place! Food looked amazing! (and the bathroom was cool! 😄)
VERY cool Jay!! I’m gonna have to come down and check out Orange County Choppers Restaurant. Oh yeah your Rays came back and beat my White Sox. Congrats 😊 lol, I’m hoping we can at least win one of these games 😬
Ate there once a few years back. Food was good service was super slow
Didn’t even know this existed thank you!!
You’re welcome it’s an awesome place!
I don't recall West Coast choppers ever really have any show. There was a couple documentaries done on the shop and then there was monster garage and then Jesse also had a show a few years later in Texas with the hot rods which lasted like a season. But I don't recall a regular show at West Coast choppers
loved the Apache chopper bike.
I bet Joan had something to do with the animal memorial wall ❤ that's an awesome addition
For the tike with the wheel in front and 2 treads in the rear was made for World of Warcraft for Warlords of Draenor expansion they also made a chopper for it too it had treads in front and rear
Would watch that show religiously
Me too! Couldn’t look away
Looks like a fun place! Though OCC custom choppers are all hardtails... fun to look at but terrible to ride and usually zero gauges! Surprised the chopper outside had a speedo! lol
Awesome video ....great job i been there a few times and june 18th 5pm is shine female wrestling there
if you want to go its like 20 a ticket ...look it up Wooo
Much love ,Lenny
Love watching it to Tampa
Great vlog Jay! OCC was a great show & I enjoyed watching them build those choppers. That is a very detailed themed restaurant too, I'm impressed how much they have there. One a side note, I love going to the Quaker Steak & Lube car shows, we have one in my town & there's always nice cars that come out there.
Thank you Tim
Man, black and green bike was jrs build for himself. Every bike in there was on tv built in new york
I always wondered why the say it's st pete when the address is Clearwater. They should show Clearwater some respect haha. Also, I haven't been to quaker steak in many many years. Car shows on the weekends 20 years ago were super fun.
Me too! Thanks Donny!! Who’s car shows are fun and then he go inside and cool down and have some food and beverage! Fun stuff
I used to live about 20 min from them in ny seen him ride his bikes in the town of Walden all the time
Yeah, the piece on the fuel tank actually came from the world trade center. You can if you go back and watch the episode Polly told you that.
Cool 😎 !
I've flown out of Clwtr/St. Pete Airport with the Coast Guard, aboard a C-130, as we headed to St. Augustine for a celebration at Flagler College.
Have fun at Flagler my brother graduated there! Thank you Gilbert
@@TampaJay If i remember right, because this was Early 90s, we flew into St.Augustine 🤔
GO RAYS beat the W.Sox 😎👍
Man so freaking awesome!
as relevant as bad chad
*OTHER VLOGGERS SAY THE FOOD DID NOT TASTE WELL AND WAS OVERPRICED. $24 FOR A BURGER AND A BEER.*
Good for them. I liked my burger.
The Orange County that shop was in is in New York The bikes are art, best not ridden
Cool video
$22.15 cents for the Burger & the Half & Half ... How much extra for the hair in your burger? 😂 Great Video Tampa Jay!
Glad i wasnt the only one that saw that.
The hair was obviously free 😂
@@TampaJay 😂😂😂
Good one Tampa Jay!
alright harleys get it on jay and cris
I give the place two more years before it sinks!
I think it’s such a shame that some of the bikes have ended up sitting in a cafe at the back of beyond, the Fire bike my favourite I would have thought it would have found a place at a fire station or museum in New York.
There are a lot of commissioned bikes on show too, again I’d have thought they’d be at a companies head head office somewhere, maybe it was a part of the deal, we’ll build a bike for you, you get all the publicity on TV but we keep the bike?
Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park Mr Jay! I used to LOVE that show back in the day! 🏞️🌄🐻
can any of these bike be ridden ? or are they just art?
Mornin Jay!!
YUP..i as well watched that show, and Jesse James Monster Garage, i had a ski hat with the orange county logo, and i watched at it until it changed it's programming schedule, i kept up with the news, and every thing, when Pauley Jr left, and got his own shop the show just was not the same, and the ratings i think dropped off a swell, but i to want to relive things by going by and spending like a ROCK STAR..possibly with out going broke..DAAANG $40 BUCKS FOR A SHIRT...I'll probably go with the hat.
Love your vids 😊😊😊
Thank you!!
I went there and it was pretty cool. Good food. But it was sad looking at all the of the memorabilia. 100s of pictures. Zero pictures only Paul Jr and only one small picture of Mikey. Zero Rick and zero Vinny. It's clear that Sr believes what he's been told for years. That he is the star and he was the reason for the success.
This was an awesome video bro
Thank you!
GHOSTN this American Cho
Thats a Nelson stud on fire bike. From building not a truck
It’s like an old guitar that you paint Margaritaville on and hang it on the wall because that is all it’s good for. That’s these bikes. WORTHLESS!!!!
A W E S O M E ! ! !
Thank you!
Nice video, personally glad the show is over tired of the drama queens
None are street legal, all show and no go, like a collection of paperweights. The few and brave that illegally rode them, the ride was excruciating every bump was painful. Their customers paid in upper five figures for them, some as investment. They are selling for four digits now.
Nice video! Strange how the massive NY shop sits and rots and yet he opens a new business in FL. Must be upsetting to NY tax payers. Either way, thanks for your video tour!
