Having watched Paul and his father from the outset I was amazed that Paul survived. His father reminded me of my own and I wished I could have spoken to Paul and described how I was able to manage it. I was happy to see him break away from Sr. and strike out on his own. He has a creative mind and a willingness to work and help others.
Your correct but as a punk kid he had no work ethics. If he came to work on time and worked to get bikes finished on time Sr would not had anything to bitch about. Jr's lackadaisical work ethic he was a worthless employee and didn't set a good example for other workers.
I'm an old man now, and have been a biker all my adult life. I have ridden many different motorcycles. Like most riders of my generation, I have always done my own mechanical work on my bikes. I built my own 1952 Harley Panhead bobber which I rode for many years. I was never positively impressed by the motorcycles produced on American Chopper. They were "works of art", and, as such, were beautiful to look at; but, I can assure you, seeing their geometry, they would be terrible to ride, uncomfortable on anything but the shortest trip, and with dangerously bad handling. These were creations meant to appeal to what we old time bikers call "profile artists," people who rarely if ever really ride, and are more interested in appearance than substance, rich boys with expensive toys to show off to their friends.
I absolutely 100% agree with everything you said. If you ask me, they are just poser machines and not really a bike. Couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to do a long haul stretch on one of these. I’m old too, so give me a Custom Soft-tail any day 😂.
I Always Liked Paul Jr. every since the show started , he designs some beautiful bikes , I"m glad he's doing good in his own shop, WITHOUT his Dad !! God Bless you and your family Paul Jr !!!!
He definitely has an artistic mind when it comes to motorcycles. I just hope that someday he, his father and brother can put the past in the past. You only have one father and they can be gone any day.

Hi Paul. I'm happy to say I've watched your life as much as been allowed. I'm happy for you and your perseverance and dedication to your personal growth as a man and family and in your professional life. Thank you for being a example of brutal honesty and dedication to God and your faith and sharing your experiences. Great work. Thank you.
Thanks Paul well I'm not crazy about his motorcycles some of them are works of art and others are socks but you don't always win in part Paul Jr. has a unique personality it's because of everything he went through with his father they are very different in personality what a good thing you found God keep it up and whatever happens be humble, the universe will give you much more greetings from ireland evolution Dublin
Paul Jr. Is incredibly talented fabricator building some of the most impressive bikes. The black widow is still my favorite chopper made with my man Vinnie
Choppers get a bad rap... but they arent built for touring. If you're just cruising around town theyre an absolute blast. Plus... they do look cool. 👍🏽🇺🇸
O like old school ,though his bikes look cool you have to stretch yourself so far forward makes it uncomfortable to ride ,plus some of his wheels are custom ,how long to wait to replace if damaged etc.
I have seen some video/photos of those bikes and no matter how nice the bikes look, I didn't see odometer or speedometer, if you try to resale used bike, it would ne nice to tell the buyer how many miles it has been driven, value goes down if there is no proof of miles. I don't understand why smart people forget these very simple things.
Great show. Bikes more for Sunday meetups or museums. No or minimal suspension with raked front end and limited steering range made for difficult handling. Braking another issue. This is not for cross country just to admire. Basic Harley design. Offer many styles essentially same bike by changing gas tank and fenders. Engine performance not really center stage because of riding ergonomics. You do not want a 200 horsepower chopper with no suspension, poor brakes, and handling. You definitely want stability control if 200 horsepower with traction control, ABS, and corners ABS/Cornering traction control. Stability control is a standard on high performance motorcycles. In 2012 stability control mandated in all new cars to Save lives.
I've seen the bike built and used by Indian Larry. Absolute thing of beauty. It was like a great sculpture. I'm sorry but Teutels are in different league.
And their bikes have no resale value. I know a guy that bought one for 6k from a guy in Houston that had more money than sense. The seller had never owned a bike, the bike scared him to death and he literally only drove it around his neighborhood. My friend harvested about 10K worth of parts to build a soft tail bobber.
@@41BeachComber Yeah true. I was a little harsh. A lot of businesses bought them for promotions, etc. The fabrication and workmanship probably was very good. Paul Jr is very talented and had some great ideas not only for choppers and other projects too!
Please share the Love of the Son of God Please write His Words in your Heart, and share them. Please Forgive, and Pray for everyone. Immanuel, God with us...
Orange County Choppers build very poor quality bikes.The company I worked for bought one,and it was a piece of junk.Paul has little bike building skills.There are bike builders who are craftsmen,but not Paul.
@JoeCool-bn5reno..your going to hell. Read this back..with the voice of Laurence Fishburn from Pulp Fiction… “I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers”
You know, his Drawings looked like what a small Child would paint but I've watched Paintings on Antique Roadshow, that are almost identical to this guys, go for Hundreds of Thousands of dollars. Go figure.
Dose this guy actually work cause he never did on yhe show. He was there for just the money. Yhe mechanics actually worked on the bikes while he stood around. N i hat hate how yhey had him yell on the show. Hed yell NUBBY when yhe painter showed up and yell for no reason on yhe show. Cant watch it with the volume up cause of it. Its just stupid😡😡😡

Who cares??? Dude built the equivalent of sparkly jeans bikes that were built poorly (ive to date had to reweld 7 occ bike frames). Feel kinda sorry for anybody that has one.
My question: who is Paul tootle?
ORANGE COUNTY CHOPPERS
It driving me crazy that the dipshit that made the video is saying it that way.
@@sirpoppz
ZOOM! Right over your head.
lmao
Or is it Toodle?

Most of thier fans were more interested in soap operas than motorcycles
Jay Leno got one and he hates it.
I watched the show and I liked the motorcycles that were built
Paul Jr, you made the right move. Staying in a relationship with a toxic, negative person is best ended. I'm happy God found you! Best.
What an amazing designer of motorcycles he is. Super talented guy. Simply WOW...
I Always Liked Paul Jr. every since the show started , he designs some beautiful bikes , I"m glad he's doing
good in his own shop, WITHOUT his Dad !!
God Bless you and your family Paul Jr !!!!
What happened to Mikey ?
He definitely has an artistic mind when it comes to motorcycles. I just hope that someday he, his father and brother can put the past in the past. You only have one father and they can be gone any day.
Did you mean autistic mind?

such a development cannot be summed up in words, one can only be proud of Junior
Proud of what? He never came to work on time!

He has made some very beautiful motorcycles I have ever seen
Those bikes are show pieces, not meant to be riden,some tanks only allow 2-3 miles before needing to be refueled 😂
I'm just glad that they are all doing better cos' it was a rough patch in life for them but God is good!!

Paul Jr. Is incredibly talented fabricator building some of the most impressive bikes. The black widow is still my favorite chopper made with my man Vinnie
Pieces of art, not practical though, and had some great "help"... wish them the best
Great show
I like my soft tail road king
2003
The black widow bike fell apart. Very impressive build.
Choppers get a bad rap... but they arent built for touring. If you're just cruising around town theyre an absolute blast. Plus... they do look cool.
👍🏽🇺🇸
There bikes were trash, it's documented plenty on the internet
O like old school ,though his bikes look cool you have to stretch yourself so far forward makes it uncomfortable to ride ,plus some of his wheels are custom ,how long to wait to replace if damaged etc.

The hard tail choppers they made weren’t really too good for riding - mainly show bikes.
I'd say most were works of art. You show them off, but don't really ride them much.
@@41BeachComber Yeah true. I was a little harsh. A lot of businesses bought them for promotions, etc. The fabrication and workmanship probably was very good. Paul Jr is very talented and had some great ideas not only for choppers and other projects too!
True!! Not the best built either!
Pretty sure most of there bikes were not hard tails they were built to look like hard tails but most of them were air ride actually
Choppers, the original "bar hopper." Come out of the bar, look at the bike you have to get on and ride, then decide to hop back in the bar...
Iam glad he meet the lord best move he made
It’s “tutle”
Or “Tutel”
”TETUL”
in my opinion all the (tuttle) bikes without rear suspension are junk.
They will break yor Spine!
any comment??
Most of his bikes had big displacement engines and very small fuel tanks. Around the block bikes. A lot of money for nothing
They built Tribute bikes mostly for display,you could ride em but they were more for show.
Toodle- dee Toodle- dum! Imagine, I've been mis-pronouncing his name all these years!
He makes BIKES for looking at not riding.
Good looking creations for sure , but they weren’t fans of big motors , basically stock for the showroom models..
They showed Mikey not Dan!!😮
Please share the Love of the Son of God
Please write His Words in your Heart, and share them. Please Forgive, and Pray for everyone. Immanuel, God with us...
All the bikes looked the same just different colors ,,all front ends of the choppers were the same that show actually never made an actual chopper ,
I love bikes, but you could not pay me to own one of those pieces of shit.
Orange County Choppers build very poor quality bikes.The company I worked for bought one,and it was a piece of junk.Paul has little bike building skills.There are bike builders who are craftsmen,but not Paul.
What company did you work for that bought a bike from them ? And why didn't they like It ?
Love the black widow
Good luck
"American chopper" bikes that can make everyone feel handicapped.
Can't keep a GOOD man down !!!!!
He had no respect for authority and shady as hell.
All fake for show, but family do fight like that.
Paul Senior didn’t know that his son was his meal ticket…
Why they're called 1 percenters
One per enters are bikers that have killed for a club 🤕
Jesus is the way
@JoeCool-bn5reno..your going to hell. Read this back..with the voice of Laurence Fishburn from Pulp Fiction…
“I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers”
Not into choppers. Give me a cycle with a side car.
How about a Chopper with a side car?
What an absolute waste of space that mikey was
You know, his Drawings looked like what a small Child would paint but I've watched Paintings on Antique Roadshow, that are almost identical to this guys, go for Hundreds of Thousands of dollars. Go figure.
Paul Jr is all washed up.
Always thought his bike builds suck.
Clown show and Clown bikes
Damn I see in the comments that they’re bikes we garbage. Is this really true, freaking grew up watching these guys
Dose this guy actually work cause he never did on yhe show. He was there for just the money. Yhe mechanics actually worked on the bikes while he stood around.

The least rideable massive piece of crap that ever hit the road on two wheels.
Does not matter - there bikes are not worth the money in anyway. Better off to build your own, at least it will make it more then 20 miles.
I worked on these so called choppers they make junk!
