On this week's episode of "American Chopper," the brawling Teutul family builds a vintage Indian Bobber for traffic-accident-prone Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Billy Joel. The Teutuls-Paul Sr. and Paul Jr.-visit the piano man's home and motorcycle collection and need to finish the new bike in time to unveil it during one of Mr. Joel's concerts. The bike is likely to be a collector's item, though it would probably be best if it stayed on display. Mr. Joel was involved in car accidents in 2002, 2003 and 2004. He also had a motorcycle crash in 1983. For Mr. Joel, being on basic cable is now a family affair. His wife Katie Lee Joel is host of Bravo's popular "Top Chef," and what she brings home from the set is probably a lot less dangerous. -Jon Lafayette
