3rd choice from OCC: The Donald

Paul Teutul Senior really knows how to surprise people with custom made choppers. The legendary builder gained another fan when he presented an adapted motorcycle to billionair Donald Trump, in a special edition of the show "American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior". The chopper has been built by Seniors' people at Orange County Choppers and was delivered with golden decorations that made the eyes of The Donald sparkle. We almost saw tears of joy, so much he appreciated that the motorcycle was "100 percent American made". Donald called the chopper without doubt one of the best pieces ever made by the good people at Orange County Choppers.

When business man Donald Trump appeared in 2012 in American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior, he was still far from being the leader of the free world. Who knows whether the Teutuls have voted for Trump at the 2016 presidents elections, but they have for sure summarized his vain, egoistic and ridiculously exaggerated personality when they made a motorcycle especially for him in 2012. Paul Sr. designed for the entrepreneur a chopper that is just as excessive as you would expect from a man with a private golden elevator in his building.

The bike had golden details on the tank, handlebars and wheels, with his iconic Trump-logo on the pedal - just in case someone would forget who's motorcycle it was.
The Trump-bike, or as the bike is generally called: the Donald T., was gaudy and..... gaudy, and frankly just looked a little cheap and tacky in comparison with some of the gorgeous bikes that Orange County Choppers has built.

Maybe Paul Sr. just ventilated his thoughts about the millionaire mogul when he designed such a tacky set of wheels for Mr. Trump, or maybe Trump actually likes his possessions to be so ostentatious. Regardless, this bike was by no means one of the best achievements by American Chopper. The Donald T. can be admired in the hall of Trump's home and office palace in New York, the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue:

In the choice of Teutul Sr. of the most beautiful bikes it ranks third, mainly because of the gold used in it. Number 1 at the Teutuls is the Fire-bike, built to honour the fire brigade for their work at 9-11

The stamp at the top of the article was made by Premier Postage, a type of American Vistaprint, officially licensed by the U.S. Postal Group and thus making truly usable stamps from any image, provided it is neat and not offensive.
Earlier a series of personalized stamps with the old O.C.C. logo appeared:

O.C.C. is based in Newburgh, Orange County, and originated from the previous business of the Teutuls, O.C. Iron Works. Senior and Junior built the company together into the legend it is today, partly thanks to the TV shows.
Today, father and son are separated and Paul Jr. runs the company P.J. Design, also chopper builders.
