Florida’s Orange County Choppers Roadhouse & Museum | American Chopper FDNY & The Bikes From Show

[@vannagm9603]

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.

[@kerrieh6048]

I faithfully watched that show all the time it was my favorite lol can’t wait to watch this.

[@TampaJay]

Me too! I really enjoyed the show. Thank you for watching.

[@darlenelake9308]

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.

[@leannefabro3289]

Nice bikes nothing beats riding on a sunny day with friends. Glad you posted this video.🙂

[@AlbertKel]

BUT YOU CANT RIDE THESE BIKES, THEY ARE USELESS CRAP.

[@williambrittian3726]

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.

[@Dfk429S9fo3]

It's not as impressive close up.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I'm going to have to get there and visit. 👍👍

[@cindypowel7517]

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

[@CristheGirl]

The Christmas bike was easily the best one. That place looks really neat! So glad you got to check it out! I love you!

[@CristheGirl]

too bad about the fries tho ;)

[@codydeboard1991]

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!!

[@magiccheeseball]

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!

[@angelalinderman9985]

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 💜

[@Trainerdave_is_numero_uno]

Paul sr is a total asshole who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.

[@Luv2tickt]

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!

[@joannechance1971]

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.

[@TampaJay]

I thought that had to be from the WTC. Thank you Joanne. Thank you for coming with me. Glad you enjoyed it

[@thecoolestdad]

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.

[@johnniebravo5985]

Awesome video Tampa Jay! I remember watching American Chopper back in the day. Good memories!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

It is cool that they have so much memorabilia in that restaurant. I used to watch the show all the time.

[@davehitt]

Thats so freaking awesome! LOVE that FDNY Bike!! Very nice display for it too!

[@cherylatkinson7479]

That is So Cool 😎 I used to watch that show. Thanks for sharing this, Tampa Jay. 🏍❤️

[@robinlee6295]

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!😊

[@Ronaldl2350]

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.

[@rwdplz1]

Saw a lot of these bikes at the HQ building in NY back in 2012, glad to see they're still around.

[@CalgaryRambler]

Amazing how Sr. Was able to recover after bankruptcy so quickly. Great place .

[@xtraflo]

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...

[@cattythecat9161]

@@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 🤔🤔

[@MattyMatt80]

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.

[@tommyp9395]

That was a great show back in the day. Good stuff Jay. Rays are looking solid so far too this year.

[@TampaJay]

Thanks you Tommy Rays up!!

My sons and I use to watch orange county choppers. It's fascinating what they can do

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Great vlog, Jay! I had no idea the Tuttles owned a Roadhouse. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@espo7182]

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.

[@TampaJay]

Thank you !

[@Bejennuine]

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!

[@dansimon1100]

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.

[@gilbertgranby9339]

Loved watching this series; Sr v. Jr 😎👍

[@floridadadvader]

This was a very cool video! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@thegerm574]

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.

[@toddgittins5692]

Love these Taiwanese door stops. Wished they'd of showed the disappointment of the new motorcycles owners, when they actually tried to use one.

[@michaelgriffith4110]

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

[@jasonschannel1315]

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.

[@scottmaiher3424]

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 😊

[@Jordan_Brown_WoW]

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!

[@Ooshwink82]

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

[@billcaruso1043]

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 😬

[@jasondavidstapleton8337]

i love the show i was really sad that the show closed

[@matthewdeshotel]

Happy early birthday my favorite KZbinr 🎉

[@buckeyeguy82]

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.

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Tim

[@janetdonati3526]

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?! : )

[@joelfennell95]

Grew up watching American Chopper

[@gilbertgranby9339]

I took the time to Order a shirt from Bert's; it Honours Bert's H-D War Memorial. 🇺🇲 🦅

[@Zelaznogsiul-63]

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.

[@thegerm574]

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.

[@OffRampAdventures]

We used to watch this show every week. Hope Jr and Pop are getting along these days

[@MikeRuh01]

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

[@skullwerkslife]

Didn’t even know this existed thank you!!

[@TampaJay]

You’re welcome it’s an awesome place!

[@moonshinefuel]

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.

[@thelightninglenny]

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

[@robheinitz6108]

I bet Joan had something to do with the animal memorial wall ❤ that's an awesome addition

[@maxmaximus8323]

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.

[@BryantRydberg]

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

[@davidwallace785]

Can’t believe it’s 21 years ago for them original bikes

[@dwolters_the_zombieman]

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

[@JustinChampa]

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.

[@tjswift3395]

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?

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.
