When the series, Orange County Choppers was working with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation in order to create a handicapped-accessible motorcycle, there was a bit of a problem. Once the episode went on the air in 2010, the crew was immediately sued by Christ Tavantzis. Tavantzis, who has polio, claimed he told the team about this very idea, but two years before.

Mikey Walks Away

We’ve heard a lot about Paul Jr. so far, but don’t forget, he’s not the only Teutul son on American Chopper. Paul Sr.’s other son, Mikey, was originally hired to do small jobs like taking out the trash, sweeping floors, and answering phones – but quickly, he became a fan favorite! His other important job was to make peace between his father and brother – but as you can imagine, this quickly got tiring. Eventually, Mikey couldn’t handle being in the middle any longer, so he left the OCC crew.
