Paul Sr. with the Monster Diesel Chopper (Photo: Tom Bachur)
Yesterday’s Baltimore unveiling of the “Monster Diesel” Orange County Chopper was a huge success. Mickey from 98 Rock played the part of the MC, with guest appearances made by Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders and Raven's mascot Poe.
The unveiling took place in Canton Square. The unique and gorgeous OCC Monster Diesel chopper was ridden on-stage by Paul Teutul Sr. as the crowd clapped in appreciation. Once on the stage, “Sr” as he is known by viewers, explained that the “Monster Chopper” was the first diesel engine motorcycle Orange County Choppers has ever built. The chopper has a gorgeous orange and black paint scheme to match Monster Diesel’s colors.
After the unveiling, Sr. signed autographs and took pictures with members of the audience. The event was filmed by TLC camera crews and will be aired on the January 28, 2010 episode of American Chopper.

Great Pictures. I'm guessing there aren't a bunch of diesel choppers out there. Any Idea how much????
Great pictures in the slideshow and great reporting. Looks like it might have been a bit chilly that day. :)
Excellent! Looks like a fun time.
Awesome bike. And, yes, it would be fun to ride.
make sure u check out monster diesel stocks....going off the roof baby!! ticker: alkn
Just what we need, another ROLLING BOAT ANCHOR.. Write about realistic bikes..... Not this UNOBTANIUM show queen.
There are plenty of diesel bikes and choppers in the world and have been for quite some years, all you have to do is look on the internet search engines. Did Paul Sr say the occ chop was the only one in the world?
Personally I don't like the occ bike; it looks like most of the other impractical art-work bikes that they have made.

Hi Ian,
Sr. didn't say that the Monster Chopper was the only diesel chopper ever built, only the first built by Orange County Chopper's. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Tom
Sorry got that wrong.
What he said was "This is probably the only diesel chopper probably that was ever made, were proud to say that we were able to do that"
Got something to say?
