Paul Jr.’s Solo Business Tragedy

‘American Chopper’ fans might remember Paul Sr. and Jr. butting heads. Their arguments were a staple of the show, but at a certain point, these two couldn’t even be in the same room together. Eventually, Paul Jr, couldn’t stand it anymore and went his own way. He decided to create his own custom chopper business in Rock Tavern, NY, called Paul Jr. Designs.

Unfortunately, before Paul Jr. even opened the doors, tragedy struck when a contractor fell right through the roof of the shop. The man was hired to fix the roof before they opened the shop, but sadly, his injuries were fatal. None of Paul’s staff were on the premises when the tragedy occurred.
