Since the early 2000s, the roar of custom choppers has echoed worldwide. Everyone wanted a piece of the action, from eager indie makers crafting their dreams to seasoned riders hungry to conquer the open road. The surge was palpable, with the ranks of small custom chopper manufacturers swelling from a mere 47 to an astonishing 300-plus, as documented by the NADA book. Fueling the frenzy were television sensations like American Chopper, captivating audiences with a front-row seat to the chopper craze of the 1990s and early 2000s. Orange County Choppers led the charge, renowned for their awe-inspiring creations and the gripping on-screen drama that unfolded with each build.
