Opening

The introduction is narrated by both Paul Sr. and Paul Jr.:

“ This road that we're on is only going to lead to one place. All this passion and pride brought us together. And drove us apart. It only makes sense that this ends where it started. With the build. ”

The fourth season (returning to American Chopper) intro is narrated by Paul Sr. and Paul Jr.:

“ [Senior]: It's important to move on. Underneath this (a tarp covered motorcycle) is where it all started.

[Junior]: And now, we're going to rebuild it.

 ”
