Despite the animosity between Paul Teutul Sr. and Jr., hope sprang eternal that the two would patch up their differences and share some scenery in front of the cameras. In 2020, that opportunity presented itself with "The Last Ride," a special episode of "American Chopper," in which the premise would see the twosome work together on a bike build in their old New York building, slated for demolition at the time. It would be their first collaboration in 12 years, something the younger Teutul eagerly anticipated. "I was pushing for this for a long time," Paul Jr. said to the New York Post. "My father wasn't really interested for his own reasons, but nobody is getting any younger. It's been over 10 years and I just thought I would like to build a bike with my father again, if we could."
The episode started auspiciously enough, with father and son visiting their old facility and rekindling memories, but when Paul Jr. suggested creating a new bike together, Pops was reticent. From that point, the experience ignited their old feud once again as the two haggled over the design of the custom bike, commissioned by roofing and siding manufacturer ABC Supply Company.
"I really didn't want to do the build, because I was afraid, again, that it was gonna affect our relationship," said Paul Sr. to Yahoo! Entertainment. "And I do believe, you know, it didn't help our relationship."
