Alive by maintaining a store with a new team however this endeavor took a challenging turn for the senior tutul as the owner of Orange County Choppers he was determined to ensure the survival of his company by assembling a new team of motorcycle enthusiasts who shared his passion for building bikes so in 2018
The TV landscape saw a Revival of American Choppers during a time when there were reboots happening left right and Center new episodes were created for New Seasons under the title American Choppers but this reboot faced legal complications and Paul tle Senior found himself right in the middle of the
Legalities with legal disputes that started in 2017 towards the end of 2020 Paul made a huge announcement that Orange County Choppers once headquartered in New York would be relocating to to the sunny State of Florida the vision was to explore new avenues in the motorcycle business Paul also wanted to launch a
New reality TV series titled Orange County Choppers made in America unfortunately his Revival plans encountered loads of challenges primarily of a financial nature as Paul Senior didn’t exactly have the financial backing to bring the new show to fruition but Paul eventually managed to secure Thomas darbar’s investment in the
Project however the unfolding events took an unexpected turn instead of channeling the approved funds into the show Paul redirected the money towards his personal interests such as fishing trips which led to delays in the production of the show and mounting frustration for darbishire as a result darbishire took legal action against
Tutol senior in April 2017 the legal battle revolved around allegations of fraud related to Paul’s handling of the invested funds tensions between between the two partners escalated further when Paul Senior sought to alter the previously agreed ownership terms aiming for an equal 5050 split instead of the original 5149 Arrangements ultimately
The legal dispute concluded with toy tool losing the case and the new show never progressed beyond the planning phase in an effort to ease his financial burden Paul Senior decided to place his luxury New York property on the market initially listed for 2.9 m million the 39 acre property situated in Montgomery
New York State boasted an asking price that seemed justifiable however driven by the urgency to sell Paul progressively reduced the price and by 2019 the property was on the market with an asking price of $1.6 million these days Paul Senor is collaborating with Keith Overton a tourism entrepreneur and a
Motorcycle Enthusiast together they are embarking on a joint venture aimed at reinvigorating and expanding the Orange County Choppers brand this partnership holds the promise of charting A New Path for the iconic brand despite the challenges and setbacks that have come their way Paul tle Jr Paul Tel Jr’s Journey as a metal
Craftsman began at the young age of 12 years old his skills in shaping metal have not waned over the years while Junior owned a 20% stake in his father’s company which they jointly founded in 19 1999 this didn’t save him from being ousted by his own father upon leaving
Orange County Iron Works where he presided over the railroad shop he decided to establish his own shop in New York setting the stage for direct competition with his father’s Enterprise with time even more ambitious aspirations took hold enabling him to express his artistic abilities freely without Family Ties this newfound
Creative freedom caught lots of attention and facilitated the expansion of his designs into clothing and personal branding in fact he has top tier clients including industry giant Blizzard Entertainment which is a testament to his thriving career Paul Junior’s journey is marked by his ability to lead a team of employees demonstrating his dedication
And hard work it’s worth noting that his current estimated net worth stands at a respectable $2 million surpassing that of his father success is indeed an understatement of Paul junor current status within the tutel family while Paul Senior is struggling financially Paul Jr is enjoying the growth of his
Career he’s even ventured into history and provided enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to revisit the past and witness the motorcycles that they’ve observed taking shape on the show over the years this offers fans both a history lesson and a genuine connection to the iconic bikes that have been
Showcased on the show Mikey tutel while the other tutel family members have seen success in their own right it seems that the youngest son Mikey hasn’t had the same luck Mikey tutle played a big role in maintaining peace within the family and the show his initial role within Orange County Choppers involved
Performing entry-level tasks such as cleaning and handling phone calls it was during this time that he teamed up with Vinnie to build the Mikey Vinnie bike Mikey’s warm and friendly personality made him one of the fan favorites and he often served as a peacemaker between senior and Jor however in 2012 Mikey
Decided to step away from the show seeking personal peace and an opportunity to mend his relationship with his father Mikey’s talents extend beyond the workshop as he is an artist in his own right in pursuit of a different path he delved into the art World by opening an art gallery this
Venture was a chance for him to explore his creative side and showcase his artwork including panoramic pieces although this Gallery eventually closed its door in 2014 Mikey continued his artistic journey in 2016 by launching a web series called wandering this series created with the help of another cast member Jason pole
Aimed to shed light on the issue of homelessness in New York City but instead of finding success this led to more legal troubles for the tutle family in 2019 a lawsuit was filed against Mikey by the gunnel family accusing his company of using Scott Gunn’s work without permission and failing to
Provide the necessary royalties this led the court to rule in favor of Scott gunnel awarding him damages totaling more than $200,000 in addition to his legal challenges Mikey also faced a battle with alcohol addiction this struggle strained his relationship with his father and led to his removal from any
Role within the tutle family business however Mikey took steps to address his addiction by seeking Rehabilitation and ultimately reconciling with his family he re-entered the business world as the assistant general manager of Orange County Choppers later on he ventured into the culinary sphere by founding farq LC a company primarily dedicated to
Pasta sauces Mikey has faced legal battles in recent years but as it seems he’s doing all right financially Vincent de Martino Vinnie’s Journey with Orange County Choppers began through a high school connection with Junior while Junior was known for his occasional clashes on the show his presence was
Integral to its appeal and Vinnie was a significant part of the cast Vinnie joined Orange County Choppers in 2002 but eventually left in 2007 driven by the desire for personal growth after parting ways with Orange County Choppers Vinnie decided to strike out on his own and establish five Force Customs however
His new Venture faced early challenges notably due to the 2008 financial crisis which brought about economic turmoil coupled with declining motorcycle sales and reduced interest in custom modifications these circumstances prompted Vinnie to rethink his business model to ensure a more stable income Vinnie Diversified his Services by adding routine car maintenance to his
Portfolio and operated five Force Customs for 5 years before transitioning to De Martino Motorsports but during the early years of the TV series Vincent de Martino was a fan favorite known for his exceptional skills and strong work ethic within the tle family’s Enterprise but it wasn’t until 2007 that Vinnie made the decision
To part ways with Orange County Choppers with rumors about internal conflicts having something to do with it following his departure from Orange County Choppers Vinnie entered the world of business alongside his co-star Cody Connelly and it was with him that he co-founded a custom motorcycle shop called five Force Customs but more on
That later because this Venture was pretty successful but it only lasted for 5 years however with the conclusion of American Chopper Vinnie underwent a transformation in his interests shifting his Focus from two- wheeled machines to four-wheeled vehicles and in 2013 he made the decision to sell all his motorcycle equipment using the proceeds
To launch D Martino Motorsports in Walden New York remarkably Vinnie’s Journey post Orange County Choppers was successful proving that he could Thrive without the constraints of Paul Senior because he’s even talked about feeling Limited in his ability to progress while he was working there Rick Petco while

WHO CARES!!!
All characters kind of predicted their future, Old Man Teutel was the arrogant type with his steroid type physique, but was no way a business man. The Younest had zero knowledge of nutrition and was headed for a nervous breakdown, and the brainiest member Paul Jr was clearly their best hope.
I really wish them all well and had hoped for a better outcome, but when money comes fast… adaptation is everything, not to be confused with the highlife, because most with the “High Life” mentality live the shortest.
If you know why, you know what is the best option. 🤫😇
Test
Came for info and couldn’t even get through it or find it 😂
Die Mutter war die einzige in der Familie, die normal war.
Teutul Senior, was a moron and his ego ruined everything.
You should have your computer generated announcer learn how to pronounce the last name correctly
Paul Sr is not a trustworthy person to get into a partnership with. I believe both sons will thrive much more without their father’s influence. There’s a lot of talent in that family but the dad is toxic.
My God, maybe if you're gonna do a overview of something. At least get their names right? Freaking annoying
I'm sorry it ended this way , they were very talented !
mich störte immer die fast stümperhafte verarbeitung von schwerem eisen zu wenig funktionalen show bikes – typisch US halt… kultur und geschmacklos, ohne kunst und rafinesse. wenn ich dagegen leichtbau aus den 90ern sehe mit 100ps und 100kg, dann sind das hier nur eisenhaufen 😉 aber wem´s gefällt soll damit glücklich werden.. kussi!
Did they ever build a bike that was actually rider-friendly?
Not one thing that we didn't already know
TUTtle NOT TOOTle! At least get that part right!
I'm in this video at 9:07
The bikes were junk, bikes and beards bought one, he said it was the worst motorcycle he has ever ridden. The show was fun to watch, but the product was shit.
…Tootle?
They built some fucking unroadworthy crap I know that..
I dont like turtels
What happened
I liked the guy with the sunglasses on all the time❤
Vinnie was the most valuable member of the whole team. I’m glad he’s doing well.
Your info is moot because of your insistence of mis-pronouncing their last name. This kind of poor investigative reporting just negates you and your reporting no matter what is fact or fiction.
Get it right or get off.
😂
You talk too much, get to the information we want to know.
Listen to the narrator is like Reading a paper from a student trying to fill out the minimum requirements for words for a paper…. Jesus
the Chopper market has died, you can buy $50,000 choppers for $12,000…unless he changes styles, rebuilding the OCC brand, never gonna happen
My love of motorcycles kept me watching. The warfare made me quit. I watched for 2 years but couldn't stand the fighting. The bikes were beautiful.
And the narrator can't even be bothered to lurn the name of the family he's talking about 😡…
Who the fuck are tue "Tootles"? 🤦♂️
I loved this show but i would never ride on there choppers.
How many times can you mispronounce the Teutul last name?
