Thank you Paul Sr this interview was something I always wanted to see. I grew up watching your show…. My father and I hardly ever seen eye to eye on anything. But we always watched American Chopper together… RIP Dad I love you and will see you again one day.
Paul, thank for putting this out. Very enlightening and I wish your whole family the very best. Merry Christmas and wishing you a great 2025 and beyond. I'm retiring when I reach the end.
As a father it is understandable that you do not get along with everyone in the family. But because of a tv show and all the tensions that have come from it, you can no longer get along with some family members, that hurts. Thank you for sharing your story, it is difficult to tell this and understandable.
I enjoyed the show and all the members of the family and the others working there. Senior puts a lot of thought into his answers and he comes across as very sincere.
Hay Paul Sr keep being you it is always nice to see you happy. I have some favourite American choppers. And I hope you have A nice Christmas with your family.
You're so loved Senior. I'm an obnoxious fan. Seen everything you've done and been aired in and love your presence, especially after you've mellowed out quite a bit. Much respect from Minnesota 🍀
Great to hear you speaking from the heart big fella. Go easy on yourself, this feels like a new page for you guys. Following and liked and looking forward to seeing what's next for the legendary Paul Snr!!! 💪😎👌
Im a fairly recent subscriber and i wanna say, i enjoy sr's channel and content. Hes correct, the tv show made him look like a "bad guy". You can tell that he's actually a very humble, good hearted person. I wish him all the success in his endeavors. Thanks for the years of your and your families lives that yall shared with the world
I grew up watching this man on the discovery channel. Although I don't make bikes I certainly appreciate the quality work Paul Sr has done over the years. Awesome!
I've been watching shade tree surgeon for years now and I know who bert is He is an awesome dude I'm glad you guys hooked up I'm just glad to see you I love watching your channel I loved your show back in the day it was the **** I hope we can build this channel'cause I know there's millions of people out there that care about you and grew up watching you god bless my friend
I enjoyed OCC from the start. Family drama is common, without the instant fame and money OCC brought.I have doubts that my family would have succeeded any better, Most average people are just not wired for instant stardom.
Respect to you Sir, thank you for your contribution to custom harley culture. Merry Christmas to you and your family ✌ enjoying watching your TH-cam content, the history, building and hanging with Mikey
Looks like another autobiography is due sometime , Ride of a life time is a very good read also . Spinning the wheels of a rental and visiting Scotland , re-enacting Brave heart . Legend in the making .
I love you bro I watch all your shows it's good to see you and I'm glad you got a youtube channel Being able to see you again makes me happy you're cool dude
Paul I hope you have all the best man. Enjoy yourself and I hope the family stuff gets better bud. Can't wait to see you beat the beards and bikes people with a awesome build.
I want the show from the beginning and I liked the family dynamic mostly but dislike the conflicts, it saddens me to know Hollywood would create drama and destroy families, i wish them nothing but the best and hope their relationships get stronger, it’s never too late
here I go again I'm sorry trust me there's so many people that look up to you we can tell what's real and what's not we watch because of you one of my heroes man Course Discovery Channel used you but we don't remember them we remember you and we love you brother your show was so awesome You were the first You've made the Discovery Channel they owe you bigly and so does every show after you
Hi Paul - mate I really loved the show and it also guided me through a lot of my schooling. Loved engineering classes. I don’t work in the trade now however I am an ex business owner of 10 years but I would love to do something from my home workshop would you say the best thing to start with is restore a bike or fabricate / build my own ? Cheers and thanks again. Shane
I watched AC from the get go and enjoyed the crap out of it until the obviously scripted drama got too much and my BS meter ran in the red. I KNEW it was the production pressure and editing so I never thought Paul Senior was an arsehole and being a Dad and Step Dad (8 of em) I knew that there was always some crap going on in the family dynamic because thats the way it is particularly with Sons :-) I dunno if it matters but Network TV is done for, producers, directors and studios can now be replaced with crap you buy online and smart average workaday people who want to share something with the World like Derek (Vice Grip Garage) or similar and by TV standards they rate WAY bigger. Loving Paul Sr Unchained, the Bike buildoff and whatever comes next
I like to share with you. When I was a young man my dad told me that it take a real man to believe in Jesus Christ, then not to. (John 3.16). It took me awhile to understand that. Just something to think about. Thanks you for your truth by sharing.
I think your dad got that back to front. If one of my parents said blindly belive in a man in the sky no one can prove exists or existed without questioning it is just blind stupid and dangerous. What a stupid piece of advice to give a child don't question things.
I'm talking too much man this will be my last one I promise but we've seen the real you and the TV show you made the TV show Discovery Channel didn't I love you brother
The producers cost, Jesse James, his business and a whole lot of money on the West Coast because they exposed him as using motors that were not emissions compliant in California. They ruined West Coast Choppers as well as Orange County Choppers in Rock Tavern NY all for their own profit
I enjoyed watching this dude and his family for years… glad he’s still doing alright
Agree, I never liked all the drama. I really enjoy seeing Sr and Mikey having fun.
Thank you Paul Sr this interview was something I always wanted to see. I grew up watching your show…. My father and I hardly ever seen eye to eye on anything. But we always watched American Chopper together… RIP Dad I love you and will see you again one day.
Everyone remember when they were wrecking cars for fun on the show?
Those were also the good times.
Raw and honest, love it! Kick ass Sr🤙
Sr has a lot of drive.... that's why he stays so young.....props out to him
Ummm trt and stem cells bro
Thanks for slowing down time when life is way too fast! 🏍️
Yeah he's doing well for a man of 75 years old
I've always liked the show. Good luck Paul Sr.!
What a great interview 👍👍
I SALUTE YOU, SIR! I ENJOYED YOUR TV. SHOW FROM THE BEGINNING TO END, GLAD YOU ARE STILL BUILDING AND PUTTING OUT THOSE BEAUTIFUL BIKE.
Paul, thank for putting this out. Very enlightening and I wish your whole family the very best. Merry Christmas and wishing you a great 2025 and beyond. I'm retiring when I reach the end.

About time we heard your side of the story, took a big man to do it publicly
Respect to you Sir, thank you for your contribution to custom harley culture. Merry Christmas to you and your family ✌ enjoying watching your TH-cam content, the history, building and hanging with Mikey

I heard that restaurant is really good. I'm hoping to try it some day.
If you can remove the automatic translation that would be great. I like to hear Paul Sr's original voice, thank you!
I like Mikey - BUT he stole my money for his spaghetti sauce!
Although I think some of his anger came from the show, I still thought he treated his son so bad.
I think its called a working retirement ❤.
glad he is ok
👍🏻👍🏻
I like this Paul better than the occ Paul! I will watch his show if he gets one.
Hes got a good restaurant and berts is a great shop I like the setup.
Cool
Nice.

youtube and the insatiable need for content creates the same sewer environment!

The similarities are the same, yet different. Families
You should make an all aluminum bike!
Any big business is stressful all the workers have to be paid so you need a lot of customers when times are lean your cost stay high
👍 🍺 😎
✌️👍
I wish you would build me a custom hot rodded Indian chopper.
Hay Editor! Put 1 or 2 more seconds for me to read the Questions please. Geesh! What am I a Speed Reader here? Come On.

He looks very sick, i would bet he hasnt got 6 months left.
This is who Ronnie the limo driver wishes he could be.
I'm talking too much man this will be my last one I promise but we've seen the real you and the TV show you made the TV show Discovery Channel didn't I love you brother

Florida compared to NY? Oh people are actually cool, and they allow its citizens to protect ones self? Lol
Collecting money....thats where he is....
Building bikes isn't on his radar
nobody cares your done retire.
