American Chopper, Season 7

They made a motor cycle out of elephant skin and Ivory which is ageist the law so is it something else because I'm in my last year of high school becoming a vet so I'm worried! Otherwise it's a funny show. If I were the mans son I would leave and never talk to him again!

Where's the rest of this season? I've been waiting PATIENTLY...

With this was made right they would have forgot jr and stopped forcing there family problems on us .... Just have Rick sr. And the rest of the crew we never see work on bikes... Mick is not needed I don't care about pjr ... If any one likes this drama plzzz tell me why..

I find the whole human side of it very interesting. Even more so, seeing people choose sides, dad over son... The simple fact is this: you never sue your child. I am a father, and I would rather give up everything than take my child to court. The old man was admittedly never around much when the kids were young, and when he was, he was abusing, yet, even he should know when enough is enough, and draw the line at something so personal, and so uncalled for... He makes, and has made enough money to walk away from the company he and his son began without alot of fanfare, and certainly without having to sue for a measly 20%... Now, some might think it is the principle of the matter. Well, then stop trying to kid around with a man you are sueing, and either make amends, or stop the nonsense. How much was spent launching a Paul Jr. Effigy into the air? Manhours, labor costs, time from customer orders... Why send a lookalike of himself over to his son's shop? He says he does not care, that it was all in good fun, but that is your child. A child you are in a current lawsuit with. Ridiculous, and simply done for the cameras. I have read rumors they have recently settled their suit, and I hope this is true. Both men need to heal. They do not need to have Mr. Teutul continue the sad diatribe of insult, childish prank and litigation. As far as the motorcycle portion of the show is concerned, as a leader of a framing crew, yes, I swing a hammer. But I do not build the house nail by nail myself. I am paid to do things they are not, therefore, they do things I choose not to do given my time alottment in a given day...Paul Teutul Jr. Designs his bikes and has a crew build them for him for the most part. This has always been different than many of the bike builders in the world, so this should not seem strange he continues to do things in this fashion. However, OCC has copied two tanks in two weeks, and several design elements from seasons past in just this short season. It is not very impressive...

The thing that Jr will eventually understand is that you just can't win against your own father, or really anyone that has that much more experience and dedication. For all his rough edges, Sr. is truly senior to Junior in every way, for all his wrongs he is still ultimately Right and junior still has much to learn from him - his father. While both will carry a sense of loss, if they don't patch things up, it is Junior that has the most to lose and he'll never be able to recapture the loss, after his father is gone or too old to even remember what it was he was trying to teach his son. A father's sole ambition is to pass the baton to his children and to give them his maximum input or influence that is probably impossible to give to any other. To completely deny your parents this opportunity is self robbery, but also an injustice to them - its wrong. This is why we should honor our parents at all costs, especially as we grow to adulthood; it is our fulfillment of our end of a natural bargain that began with our birth. We simply owe our parents that much and we owe it to ourselves to always find the right in what they are (regardless of all the wrongs), appropriate it in our lives and continue its perfection. Once we have managed to accomplish this great task and establish this relationship with our parents - then we have truly grown up and taken ownership of the relationship and this life long process. Then and only then do the tables begin to turn and the aging parents begin to look up to their offspring and know they can depend on them in their final days. To be able to look our parents in the eye, past all the flaws on both sides calmly ask, "what are you trying to teach me" and patiently satisfy them that we do get it and are taking it even further, is something only a mature, self confident son or daughter can do, and very rewarding. I hope Junior doesn't lose out on this experience - his dad certainly needs and deserves it.

The so-called feud is all about money. Both men are making MILLIONS by playing along with a fake drama. Paul Jr has been raised by the ill-tempered Paul Sr and is certainly used to him by now. Personally, I think he need his butt kicked but, hey, maybe that is part of the fake drama also. It isn't enough to make good looking choppers, but apparently they feel they also need to put in something extra. So while Paul Sr is going on about his financial problems, Paul Jr is going on about start up costs, it's all BS. The network is paying them a ton of money to air the show and if neither one ever made a dime on the choppers, they would both still be quite rich.

I love this show, but I think senior is always saying something to downgrade PJD way too much. You don't see junior pulling any "jokes" on OCC like senior did when he launched a mannequin of junior off a ramp. I want to see the next episode that I can barely wait, but it was been more than a week plus since episode 8 has been on iTunes, where is episode 9?

While I like the show..I'm angry over paying 21 bucks for 8 episodes..it's just not fair ..when I can buy single shows for 1.99...what's up with that iTunes?

The show is moving back to Discovery. It should resume in January. Only 8 episodes have been aired on TLC as well. No reason given...

Greg that doesn't make sense ... for 8 episodes the season pass was a rip off then .... there must be more
