American YouTubers Set for Custom Bike Build-Off After Verbal Spat
A custom build-off battle is coming soon between two American Youtubers, but what’s the catch?
Orange County Choppers (OCC), owned by American YouTuber Paul Teutul Snr has been making custom choppers for decades, and his crew and the bikes they made were the stars of the now-defunct American Chopper TV series.
Recently, though, another YouTuber, Sean from Bikes and Beards, was less than impressed by Paul Snr’s bikes. After receiving a custom supercharged Orange County Chopper, called the Miss GEICO, both Sean and fellow creator Craig Dieffenbach (AKA The Bearded Mechanic) appeared in videos where they weren’t sold on Paul Snr and his motorcycles. In fact, in one of his videos, Craig, described Paul Snr’s OCC Miss GEICO motorcycle as “unfixable”, among other things.
After receiving criticism about his bike, Paul Snr reacted in a way only the moustachioed muscle man could, repeatedly questioning Sean’s credibility, going on to claim he is “full of crap” and that he would “shut his mouth” if they met face-to-face. Well, that’s exactly what has happened although sadly for the viewers, any differences seem to have been taken care of.
Paul Sr indicates that he doesn’t believe Sean could build a custom motorcycle and when the two meet Sean admits he is out of his depth when it comes to building a bike completely from scratch.
But after discussing the terms of the build, it appears there will be a custom motorcycle build off battle between Sean and The Bearded Mechanic, vs Paul Sr from Orange County Choppers.
During the first meeting between all three men, Sean and Craig find another Chopper built by Paul Sr, and despite having issues starting it after it was left outside a restaurant for a long time, the bike eventually runs and all three riders take it for a very brief spin.
Come the end of the video, which can be found below, it’s clear that Sean, Craig and Paul Snr have settled any animosity and are planning on building custom motorcycles to challenge one-another, with the winnings going to a charity of their choice.
