#PaulTeutulSr #PaulJr #AmericanChopper
• Paul Teutul Sr. and his son Paul Jr. were famous for creating custom motorcycles through their family business, Orange County Choppers (OCC), and starred in the reality TV show "American Chopper." Their notorious fallout led to Paul Jr. leaving OCC and starting his own competing business, Paul Jr. Designs.
• The tension between father and son was a key aspect of "American Chopper," culminating in a dramatic confrontation where Paul Sr. fired Paul Jr. This led to a lawsuit where Paul Sr. attempted to force his son to sell his 20% stake in OCC, which ultimately failed and further strained their relationship.
• Despite their separation, both have continued to thrive in their respective businesses. Paul Jr. established Paul Jr. Designs, gaining recognition and respect in the custom bike industry with high-profile projects, including collaborations with "World of Warcraft" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows."
• Paul Sr. faced financial and legal troubles, including a lawsuit from a business partner and issues with the IRS, leading to his bankruptcy and the closure of the original OCC location in New York. He relocated to Florida, where he continues to operate Orange County Choppers alongside the OCC Road House and Museum.
• Despite their past conflicts, there's a possibility of reconciliation between Paul Sr. and Paul Jr., with Paul Sr. expressing hope for a future collaboration on a passion project, signaling a potential end to their long-standing feud and a chance for fans to see the father-son duo work together again.
