The stars of the hit TV show, American Chopper, together with K’NEX Industries, recently donated 1,000 K’NEX OCC motorcycle building sets to the USO. The sets will be distributed to military families through the USO Outreach Centers in New York and Washington D.C., and to injured soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. The donation was announced recently at FAO Schwarz, and the toys were presented to members of the U.S. armed forces.

Paul Teutul, his sons Paul Jr. and Michael, aka "Mikey," of the Discovery Channel’s American Chopper show and owners of the now-famous Orange Country Choppers motorcycle shop, made the presentation along with Diane Adams, vice president of sales and marketing, and Michael Pisors, brand manager, K’NEX Industries.

Accepting the donation along with the soldiers was Phyllis Criscuoli, vice chairman of the board of directors of USO, New York.

The guys from Orange County Choppers have introduced the world to the behind-the-scenes, metal-bending action found only in their garage, where they create one-of-a-kind bikes.

For OCC aficionados, KNEX offers a line of officially licensed K’NEX Orange County Choppers building sets. Each design has been personally approved by the guys.

House Subcommittee Votes to Approve REPAIR Act

The REPAIR Act will now go before the full House Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration.

Members of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce unanimously voted to advance the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act (H.R. 906) to the full Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration.

Building on two recent congressional hearings and last week’s White House roundtable on Right to Repair, this support from Congress is a promising step forward in codifying vehicle data access protections – as part of the broader right to repair movement – in federal law. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives in February this year by Congressmen Neal Dunn, Brendan Boyle and Warren Davidson as well as Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, the only repair shop owner in Congress. Since then, it has gained an additional 40-plus bipartisan cosponsors.
