7 Their Falling Out

Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. were both heartbreaking. Things seemed to be working out for the youngest member of the pair. He had a difficult relationship with his father but it inspired him to start his own business. He tried to persuade his father to sell his 20-percent share of Orange County Choppers but it didn’t work.

Paul Jr. believes that leaving his father’s shadow is a good thing. He was able to create his own company and his own image, finally stepping out on his own. Paul Jr. was required to take one year off his contract. However, in 2010, after reality television had left him, he returned to his business.
