From The Daily Wire:
‘More Of A Sense Of Freedom’: ‘American Chopper’ Star On Leaving NY For Florida
Paul Teutel Sr., the founder of Orange County Choppers and the star of the reality television series “American Chopper,” is pulling up stakes from current Orange County Chopper headquarters in New York state and moving to Florida. When asked why, Teutel Sr. replied, “There’s more of a sense of freedom down there than in New York, that’s for sure.”
“He also said that he thinks Florida is more prepared and poised to get past the devastating blow the COVID-19 pandemic has caused than New York,” WKRG reported, adding that Teutel concluded, ‘The whole thing makes sense.”
Teutel acknowledged, “I think I have more of a fan base down there in Florida, and the riding season is nine months maybe even ten. In New York, you have a short season, maybe only three months or so.”
American Chopper, which originally aired on Discovery Channel in 2003, focused on Teutel Sr. and his son Paul Jr. The men produced custom chopper-style motorcycles; the show moved to TLC in 2007. The show triggered two spin-off series: “Senior vs. Junior,” which aired from 2010 to 2012, and “Orange County Choppers,” which ran in 2013-14.
All of the good ones are leaving. Wonder what the blue states will look like in 20 years if they do not reform their stupid ways. I love the ocean and I love living here but South Dakota is also very beautiful. Spent some time there for a blacksmithing conference and traveled through there a lot.
