The show captures the family dynamics and fiery exchanges, showcasing the pair's contrasting styles but similar passions as they create remarkable, one-of-a-kind motorcycles. Similarly, "American Chopper", the book, portrays the fruits of their labour: the highly sought-after, distinctive bikes themselves. In an engaging, informative style, the book details the history of custom motorcycles and what it takes to build a custom bike - the tools and fabricators and the blending of artistic vision with iron, chrome, and steel. Photographed specifically for this book, over 25 of OCC's custom choppers - including the show's famous: Black Widow; Jet Bike; Comanche; Mikey's Bike; and Fire Bike - are handsomely displayed and photographed with many beautifully detailed shots |
