PaAs we’ve mentioned, Paul Jr. actually has a beautiful two-year-old son.
Since the little boy can’t ride their custom choppers just yet, Paul Sr. gave his grandson a to-die-for model of the Statue of Liberty chopper, which was actually built by Paul Jr.!
Producers Fanned The Flames
Though it was a problem for Mikey, the producers absolutely loved and condoned just how much Paul Jr. and Paul Sr. fought. It obviously brought them more views and good ratings at the end of the day!
Unfortunately, this led them to encourage the fights and not putting an end to them. Paul Sr. even claims that the producers would cut some scenes just to portray him as the worst person ever.
Father-Son Relationship
It’s great to hear that Paul Sr. is inching towards rebuilding his relationship with Paul Jr. - but only on a personal level.
As for their professional relationship, Paul Sr. stated that the two don’t ever want to work together again since this would just put more strain on them and that family matters more than the work and money.
Video Games
Since the American Choppers brand was so well received in their first few seasons, they ended up creating two spin-off video games in the process!
The first game was called American Chopper was created by Activision and was released for Xbox, PlayStation 2, and even had a PC version! The second game called American Chopper 2: Full Throttle was created by Creat and was released for Xbox, Gamecube, and PlayStation 2!
Another Set Of Financial Woes
Though everybody pretty much adores the special custom-made bikes that are on the show, they probably would have to think twice after finding out the prices.
The prices of these bikes actually range between $150K – $250K! Crazy! The crew doesn’t really make any of these fancy, high-end choppers anymore, though.
