American Chopper/Orange Country Choppers The Fine Art of the Custom Motorcycle

The hit television series 'American Chopper' portrays the tension, tirades, and triumphs of the father-and-son team of custom motorcycle builders known as Orange County Choppers. The show captures the family dynamics and fiery exchanges, showcasing the pair's contrasting styles but similar passions as they create remarkable, one-of-a-kind motorcycles. Similarly, 'American Chopper', the book, portrays the fruits of their labour: the highly sought-after, distinctive bikes themselves. In an engaging, informative style, the book details the history of custom motorcycles and what it takes to build a custom bike -- the tools and fabricators and the blending of artistic vision with iron, chrome, and steel. Photographed specifically for this book, over 25 of OCC's custom choppers -- including the show's famous: Black Widow; Jet Bike; Comanche; Mikey's Bike; and Fire Bike -- are handsomely displayed and photographed with many beautifully detailed shots.Scheller, William G. is the author of 'American Chopper/Orange Country Choppers The Fine Art of the Custom Motorcycle' with ISBN 9780883631171 and ISBN 0883631172.
