Season two of the new run of American Chopper starts on Discovery Feb. 12. Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Teutul Jr. star in the series, designing top-flight motorcycles.

American Chopper aired on Discovery and TLC from 2002 to 2012, depicting the Teutuls in their Newburgh, N.Y. shop, and returned last year.

Discovery says, “While the Teutuls continue to work with world famous athletes, Forbes 100 businesses and celebrity clients to evolve their businesses with the changing customized bike market, Paul Sr. takes a risk at Orange County Choppers as he moves his bike designs in a different direction.
