1. Paul Teutul Sr.
Paul Teutul Sr., the larger-than-life patriarch of Orange County Choppers (OCC), is still very much involved in the custom motorcycle world. After a series of financial troubles, including OCC filing for bankruptcy in 2020, Senior has been steadily rebuilding his business. He moved OCC to Florida, where it operates as OCC Road House and Museum, combining a custom shop, restaurant, and entertainment venue. He also continues to make appearances at motorcycle events and conventions, staying connected with fans of the show.
2. Paul Teutul Jr.
Paul Jr., known for his creativity and turbulent relationship with his dad, has carved out his own space in the motorcycle world with Paul Jr. Designs. After leaving American Chopper, Paul Jr. worked hard to build his own brand, which focuses on creating high-end custom bikes and merchandise. His shop is still thriving, and he occasionally updates fans through his social media. On the personal front, he’s enjoying family life with his wife, Rachael, and their son, Hudson, often sharing glimpses of their adventures.
3. Mikey Teutul
Mikey, the comedic relief and the “little brother” of the show, has taken a more low-key path. After leaving the family business, he explored various creative ventures, including painting and hosting a web series. Mikey has largely stepped away from the limelight, but he still pops up at occasional events or shares updates with fans on social media. He seems to enjoy a quieter life, focusing on his art and staying out of the family drama.
4. Vinnie DiMartino
As one of the most talented mechanics at OCC, Vinnie was a fan favorite. After leaving the show in 2007, he started his own business, DiMartino Motorsports, where he works on motorcycles, cars, and other vehicles. Vinnie has kept his passion for building alive, and his shop remains active. He also occasionally collaborates with Paul Jr., showing that the bond between the two remains strong despite all the ups and downs of their time on the show.
5. Rick Petko
Rick Petko, the quietly skilled fabricator and builder, shifted gears after American Chopper. He now operates his own shop, RPD & Co., in Pennsylvania, where he crafts custom motorcycles and metalwork. Rick has also embraced a love for family life, often sharing moments with his wife and two daughters on social media. His work is less flashy than the drama-filled OCC days, but he seems genuinely content and continues to earn respect in the bike-building community.
6. Jason Pohl
Jason Pohl, the show’s graphic designer-turned-builder, has continued to pursue his passion for design. After leaving OCC, he started working as a freelance designer, creating 3D models and designs for motorcycles and other industries. Jason’s technical expertise has allowed him to branch out into various creative fields, but he hasn’t strayed too far from his roots in the custom motorcycle world. He occasionally shares his projects on social media, giving fans a glimpse into his evolving career.
7. Cody Connelly
Cody, the young apprentice who grew up on American Chopper, has had a quieter journey since his time on the show. After leaving OCC, he worked for Vinnie at DiMartino Motorsports and later pursued other opportunities in the motorcycle and automotive industry. While Cody keeps a low profile these days, he remains a favorite among fans who remember his early days as a hardworking teenager with big dreams.
The American Chopper crew may no longer share the same screen, but their stories have continued to unfold in interesting and inspiring ways. Whether they’re building bikes, designing art, or focusing on family, these cast members prove that life after reality TV can be just as fascinating. Who knows—maybe we’ll see a reunion someday!
