The proceeds from the sale of these bikes, and many other items consigned by Orange County Choppers, will be directed towards the families of our troops who have been seriously wounded or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. More specifically, the charities are the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which provides unrestricted grants for the families of soldiers recently killed in action, and the Fisher House Foundation, a home away from home for families of seriously wounded soldiers being treated in military hospitals. Links to the charities and the show are listed below.

Featured Lots
For the first time on American Chopper the team will make two bikes at the same time. Each bike will be a personal statement of the style and craftsmanship of the team leader. Paul Senior will design and execute an example of his "old-school" style chopper, while Paulie will push the limits with his new design.
The two bikes built by the guys at Orange County Chopper will be the stars of the Support our Troops auction and will also be featured in upcoming episodes of the Discovery Channel hit show American Chopper.
