Popular US television series American Chopper will film three episodes in Australia next year.

The program's stars, Paul Teutul Sr and his sons, Paul Jr and Mikey, will depart their Orange County home in February to spend two weeks filming in Australia.

It will be the second time the American Chopper team has filmed the Discovery Channel series outside of the US.

"This unique initiative will make it possible for American Chopper fans around the world to experience everything Australia has to offer through the eyes of the Teutuls," said Tom Keaveny, executive vice president and managing director of Discovery Networks Asia.

The team will travel across Australia, stopping in various locations to seek inspiration for their latest bike, with the program due to screen in Australia in late 2007.

On returning home, the Teutuls will produce an Australia-themed bike, which will eventually be sold at a charity auction.

American Chopper chronicles the raw drama of the Teutul family - creators of some of the world's most unique motorcycles.

Each episode follows the threesome through heated arguments and creative setbacks as they battle mounting deadlines to design and produce their motorcycles.

American Chopper has achieved cult status since its first screened in Australian on Discovery Channel in 2004.

The program also has lured bike-loving celebrities, including actor Will Smith and Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, to purchase their designs.
