Last April we flew up to Montgomery NY and landed in a Chinook. We were taking a flag that flew over Afghanistan up for the crew at OCC. They were building two bikes for a auction that was for The Fisher House Foundation, a charity for military families.

Anyway, the camera crew filmed us stopping by. A couple weeks later we were invited to the Auction on the USS Intepid in Manhatten. Was an interesting night. Got to meet Stephen Tyler and some other celebs.

At any rate, the show about the Military Bikes will be on tonight and Next Monday. I am not sure if we will beon this week or next though.

Just an FYI

Aviator

I got my ReplayTV set up to record it.

Will there be an argument on tonights episode?
Will there be a tight deadline to complete the bike?
Will the crew go somewhere for a short session of recreational therapy?
Will someone quit?

Stay tuned for the answers to these questions on tonights episode.

LMAO All the Above, and.. Mikey Clowning around.


Out of all the guys, Mikey, Vinnie, Cody, and Rick are the best. They seem to work harder (Read: do all the work) and were the most interested in us actually being there.


Aviator

Pretty cool Sarge  Hope they made a pile of loot for the Fisher House !

They made a few hundred thousand. After the eppisode airs, and with the pics and article in Easy Rider this month (which we are also in), they should be getting a lot more in donations, or possibly would have had the Hurricane not happened

I heard a rumor at one point that Steve Tyler has visited this site, and is supposedly into shooting.
Saw it in a thread many moons ago, and cant vouch for it being true, but that is what I remember hearing.

Aviator,
Did Steven Tyler reek of formaldahyde?
BTW I'll be watching the show .

15 years of service, and still a buck Sergeant? you must be in the NG

sounds like a good ideer

Quoted: Aviator, Did Steven Tyler reek of formaldahyde? BTW I'll be watching the show .

No, no, no---you're thinking of Keith Richards!  

Interesting that bike in the pic has such a skinny rear tire...I thought the chopper guys were into bigger is better. That looks like a 130...

Ehhh  probably an ordering mistake or something. I'm getting tired of seeing the 250's and 280's and whatever is coming next.

I still have a thing for the 230 that Exile uses.

AGR now. Active 9 years, Guard 8. Its because I am in Aviation. someone needs to Die or retire for the rest of us to move up.


Aviator

... Steven Tyler is an NFA fan as well

... I'll be watching the show for you, thanks for your service to the country

sweet your a SUPERSTAR i like rick, always calm, always gettin things done

The Military 1  bike show comes on at 2200 here, after 2 other episodes.

Quoted: I heard a rumor at one point that Steve Tyler has visited this site, and is supposedly into shooting. Saw it in a thread many moons ago, and cant vouch for it being true, but that is what I remember hearing.

Don't know about visiting this site but as far as being a fan of things that go bang or in this case I guess things that don't go bang, I know that a local supressor manufacturer made him a custom can with the aerosmith logo on it.

BTT For just before the show.


Aviator

When are they going to show you so I can go to bed?

Next week looks like. Part 2 of the show. The bikes were painted and being final assembled when we were there.


Aviator

i like paulies bike better so far

yahoo tv guide says they go to a nuclear sub and a medical hospital tonight

Yep, it will be tonight. I should be on once while they are building them (final assembly) and at the auction.


Aviator

Its on now

Who's that homeless guy in the second picture?

I saw your right arm during the part when ya'll were in the shop. They were mainly focusing on the lead guy presenting the stuff to Paul Sr.

Thats SFC Dameron. He was in Afghanistan with the 82nd


Aviator

They just zoomed right in on you at the auction

The two pictures in your original post say it all: Vince does the work, the Teutels get their photos taken.

Rick and Cody bust their humps also,

Here is something I wrote the next day...

Last night I was invited to attend an auction put on by Orange County Choppers in Manhattan, New York. There were many celebrities there; Stephen Tyler of Aerosmith fame, Paul Sr & Jr, Mikey, and Jessica Lynch. The auction benefited soldiers that have been wounded, and their families.

Before the auction, my five fellow soldiers and I stood in the “VIP” room along with all these people and watched them interact with us and others. We were in Dress uniforms, which are not the most comfortable thing to wear, but there was more to the discomfort we were feeling than the uniforms. We realized we did not fit in.

When Steven Tyler saw us standing on the sidelines, he came over and said, “How about a picture guys”? We then stood around in a line with him and Paul Jr., and a photo was taken with a camera on of our guys had brought along. At this point, I almost asked Stephen where he wanted us to send the photo of him with us to, and if he wanted our autographs.  

Just then, some of the wounded troops came in. Some in wheelchairs with no legs, some with disfiguring wounds, some blind. They were now the ones on the outside of the “circle”. We slowly moved into the background, letting Stephen to talk to the guys who were wounded. He talked with then for quite a while, and seemed very interested in what they had to say. I am very appreciative of the fact that he genuinely seemed to care.

After the auction, on the drive home, I sat and thought about the evening. I felt grateful for what everyone had done. The expense and generosity by the celebrities at the auction was fantastic, and in no way am I trying to take anything away from them. Without them, it would not have happened at all. But I’ll never really sit and have a beer with any of them.

When I thought about the photo though, I thought perhaps I should have asked about the address and autographs. While it will be a nice memento for my scrap book when I am old and grey, to be honest, I’ll always treasure more, those photos of friends from the Army that will sit next to it in the book. People I did have beers with. Some of those people are not with us any more.

The people who serve in the Military may not make as much money, be famous, or ever really stand in the spotlight, but they do give America and the world a service that is at least as great a value as a catchy song, or beautiful motorcycle. The people of the U.S. may not always realize this. The military comes into, and falls out of favor of the U.S. people in cycles over the years, and we have come to understand and expect that. It goes with the job.

Well, my boots are shined, and my uniforms are pressed. Next week will be another long one, so I am off to the Enlisted Club for a beer with friends. Oh, and Stephen Tyler, if you are reading this, you can have my autograph any time, just ask.

Jessica Lynch was looking kind of cute
steven tyler was looking worse than a zombie

I've been hearing for quite awhile that Paulie is a bit...umm...shall we say, light in the loafers. Looks like he's got a thing for guys in uniform...

It was a good show last night. Nice to see the Teutals do something other than tear up stuff.

You military guys are the real heros though. God Bless.

Quoted: Jessica Lynch was looking kind of cute

I thought so too!

who's hand is on that lady's right shoulder?
doesn't look like it could belong to either paul even though they are kind of the obvious choices

Senior's


Aviator

Paul Sr. ended up buying the 2 bikes back for $150,000.  

No, Jr bought Sr's bike for $50k and Senior bought Jr's bike for 160k  210k total. But then again, the cost of building them, and the purchase of them are both tax writeoffs I would think.

Apparently you never saw the SMOKING HOTTIE he took to the fair on one episode.  She was Playboy bunny material.

I saw you Aviator!  Great epsiode.

That episode came out after the rumors started. If you get the chance to watch it again, study his body language and see how he interacts with her. When they kiss, he acts like he's kissing his grandmother.

I still think he's more than a bit fruity...

She had some nice tits but she had way too much make up on.  I believe her name is Whitney and she's a secretary at OCC.  

She is his Girlfriend, And she does work there.They live in an apartment right behind the shop.

She has two POS calculators on her desk, sitting next to the most powerful computational device she'll ever have access to. She has post-it notes on a handwritten letter. She has crap stuck in her keyboard.

Does anybody realize why compuers exist in the first place? I'll never understand some people. You guys who have done onsite computer work know exactly what I'm talking about. This is going to sound sexist, but women are the worst offenders.

And he's still always late to work?  

I taped the show so I was able to go back and find you on the show.  I fast-forwarded through most of the rest (sorry, the show is starting to get old).  Thumbs up to you!!!
