It has been a long time between partners. And he knows Jr like a book.

Because he owns a multi-million dollar buisness and set it there for the sons so they don't have to go through what he had to in his life, and they are throwing it away like little you know whats. I would be mad too.

He kicked his sons out. and its not just paul jr and Mikey that have a problem with Sr. its all of Senior's kids that are mad at him. All because Sr. thinks he made it, all by himself. I honestly don't like watching the Sr part of the show I wish it was all Jr. and Mikey

Jr seems like a smart fun guy. I wish it was just a show about Jr. Mikey and two of the other builders from before that I cant remember their names. They were all nice guys. Sr on the other hand is a Dbag and I hope after a couple years all he has is his company and no family or friends.

Yeah when it's every kid it's usually the parents fault.

Sr.'s ego would put anyone to shame. He continually talks about how Jr. can't make a bike, etc. when he's the one that brought that company to the forefront. Without the kid's designs, they'd be nothing. He was too busy trying to make the show great by being a blowhard ******* that he forgot to be a Dad.
Sr. is a giant ******.

Vinnie and Rick?

I have watched the show on and off since the beginning and Sr. has gotten worse as the business grew. I am not going to lay all the blame on him though as Jr. knew how to push his buttons and seem to relish in doing so at times. I will agree that Jr's designs are what made the company what it is today and I have a feeling that Sr. knows this in the back of his mind. In some way he is compensating by being a d-bag and loves reminding everyone that its his business.

While entertaining, Mikey is a total mess. I hope to God if I ever have kids they will not turn out like that. Nice guy and means well, but just a mess.

All in all I just hope Vinny doesn't get screwed by his decision to work for Jr. I tend to think that Jr. isn't going to be the easiest guy to work for either. Vinny has always been the innocent bystander getting caught in the cross fire since day one.

Sr. stooped pretty low talking **** about Vinny, too, last night. Saying he wasn't a fabricator, but a decent mechanic.

I admit I didn't see last night episode but hearing the Sr. was baggin on Vinny is a new low. Vinny's dedication to the job saved Sr.'s *** more times then I can remember to finish projects while the two Pauls were ******** at one another and throwing hissy fits. Hell I stopped watching the show for a while after Vinny quit.

I wanted to watch it... but only made it through the radio call in show.

American Chopper was a great show about 8 years back when it was about the bikes and not the family drama.

**RandomFan** · 08-20-2010, 04:05 PM

Just curious, how many of you have worked with/for your father or son or brother? Family businesses aren't as smooth sailing as you might think.

**Bobber** · 08-20-2010, 09:34 PM

Senior made his fortune before the bikes came along. No bikes in the first place without Seniors money.

I didn't watch the show, so can't comment on it.
