The custom bike building show American Chopper with the Teutul family, the custom motorcycles and of course family dramas will return to the small screen this week on TLC.

Riding into its sixth season, TLC's popular series American Chopper returns on Thursday, April 9, at 9 PM (ET/PT) with all-new episodes with producers promising 'unmatched family drama that will change the dynamics of Orange County Choppers forever'.

A reality based series American Chopper follows Orange County Choppers (OCC), the world-famous custom motorcycle family business run by Paul Teutul Sr. and his fiery sons, Paul Teutul Jr. and Mikey creating unique, one of a kind bikes. Each episode of American Chopper captures the day-to-day drama inside one of the world's leading custom bike shops as the family battles impossible deadlines to build some of the most aggressive, creative custom choppers around. The new season documents the growing pains as OCC continues to expand in a challenging economy, as well as the evolving relationship between Paul Sr., his sons, the extended Teutul family and their OCC staff.

The heated arguments are set to take front stage in the upcoming season with mounting tension between Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. exploding in a confrontation that results in serious damage not only to the family shop, but to their personal relationship.

American Chopper gets off to a quick start with OCC taking on the challenge of a double build. Two bikes, one commissioned by the National Hockey League and the other by Northrop Grumman, maker of the B-2 bomber. Both bikes feature cutting-edge designs and intense fabrications. In the second episode, the guys go tie-dyed in twisted metal, taking on a '60s-themed project to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. And in the third episode, the OCC gang heads to Anchorage, Alaska, to build a motorcycle in honor of Alaska's 50 Years of Statehood Celebration.
