Watch your community on “American Chopper”
October 13, 2009
Traveling through the heart of Michigan, enjoying the Fall sights and sounds of the open road, the wind in my hair… I’m imaging myself on the back of a custom chopper bike designed by Orange County Choppers (OCC) of New York. Oh, if only!
The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan had a great opportunity in July 2009 when they were able to have a tribal themed bike designed by (OCC). Orange County Choppers Inc. was started in 1999 by Paul Teutul, Sr. and his “out of the basement” business of custom choppers. After gaining popularity with their one-of-a-kind bikes, they were asked by the Discovery Channel to film a reality television series entitled “American Chopper”. Now in it’s 6th season on TLC, American Chopper has gained great popularity and following because of the OCC’s custom bike building for big names such as Lincoln, Dodge, Intel, and Coca-Cola as well as sports teams, celebrities, and government entities.
The episode featuring the making and unveiling of the bike designed for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan in collaboration with the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Council, the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, and the Ziibiwing Center will air Thursday, October 22, 2009 on TLC at 9/8c.
Please tune in and show your support and appreciation for our Tribe and the OCC! And if you see me on the road be sure to wave.
