American Chopper

American Chopper (Orange County Choppers)

T's friend works for Orange County Choppers, the company in the show American Chopper on the Discovery Channel. So he took us on a behind-the-scenes tour of their facility on Wednesday night. The place is probably one of the best places to work on the east coast. Inside they have a basketball court (taller than regulation and full court), a well-equipped gym, a place where their employee band jams (complete with instruments and amps), widescreen flat-panel monitors everywhere and a photo room in which they hooked up a projector screen and X-Box. To think I was pleased with the dinky little foosball table they had at my last job. The employees who were still there at 10:00 at night still looked happy to be there. I didn't put up all my pics because some of the episodes haven't aired yet.


The truck they use to... I don't know, do things with.


Tony holding the clay Paul Senior head a fan made.
I don't know why but the guy who made it put a slit in
the back that looks like... yeah okay.



Half of the gym. On the other side are a crapload of treadmills and other workout machines.


Where the magic happens.


Magic that's already happened.


Outside the garage doors (I look kind of demonic.)
