I've only seen a couple of episodes of this show and was never impressed with the "made for TV drama". I did think that they had some solid skills as builder though. News of the cancellation came through on my motorcycle mail list today.

Used to be a huge fan of Jesse James, but drifted away about the time he went Hollywood.

Seems like that family has developed more problems because of the show than money from the show. Kind of tragic to watch the relationship between Sr. and Jr. and Mikey fall apart on TV. :-)

That show got horrible a year ago when Jr. left.

Too much drama for me. Dad is wired wrong with rage issues, the boys are all showing signs of taking after Daddy's dysfunction. Making neat stuff = Great time. Acting like a spoiled 12 year old boy throwing a man sized tantrum for 35 of 50 minutes? No thanks.

I actully live in the area, this has going on for a while. He seems like a decent guy in person, i just hope the huge showcase they just a built a year or so go send them all down the crapper. I know they were planning on a resturaunt there too, not sure how that will work out now

Problems were there long before the show.

Daddy is suing Jr. for his shares of OCC and $1 million on top of it.
[Reply]

What is his basis for suing Jr.?
[Reply]

Hope they have a fire sale on their bikes. :-)

Here is the article. Many comments as well at the link.

The father/son team behind the hit TV series American Chopper may be heading to court. Paul Teutul, Sr. has filed a lawsuit against son Paul Teutul, Jr. over who has control of Orange County Choppers, the family company made famous by the long-running reality show. Paul Tuetul, Sr. claims his son misappropriated assets and took part in "competitive business activities" that damaged the company.


Through the Paul Teutel lawsuit, dad hopes to buy out his son's shares in Orange County Choppers. According to court documents, Paul Sr. sent a letter to his son saying that he was exercising his option to buy out his son's share in the company. According to Paul Sr., his son never complied.


Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul M. Teutul had a very public falling out, which was chronicled on American Chopper. In the Season 6 premiere, Paul Sr. and son had a contentious contract dispute, which led to Paul Jr.'s departure from the company. After a brief reconciliation, Paul Jr. left the OCC for good to explore other opportunities. In later episodes, Paul Jr. was seen working as a consultant at Orange County Choppers.

I understand now, thanks Mark.

I had a chance to meet Sr and he seemed pretty cool...money gets the best of folks I guess. (look at Billy Lane of Choppers Inc, early on kinda humble and low key..then gets money and repeatedly acted like an ass and ends up killing someone drunk driving..he was THE most talented bike builder ever IMO) I did like the show early on..now it's just sad.

The show was ok up until Vinny left, he was doing all the work and had to deal with the two bozos:-)
[Reply]

That would be fantastic :-)
[Reply]

Can't agree more about Vinnie,..... and for the rest...who gives a crap :-)
[Reply]

I agree, he seemed like a good guy.
[Reply]

good riddance. I don't think they are a Ducati dealership anymore either.
[Reply]

Vinnie & Cody started there own shop called V-Force Customs
they will also have a tv show starting soon
[Reply]

I was a fan at the beginning of the series but lost interest when JR & SR did nothing but scream at each other, all too familiar :-)
