American Chopper, Discovery Channel's mega-hit featuring Paul Teutul, Sr. and his sons, rides again. Join the boys at their Orange County Choppers garage where they're up against deadlines, and each other, to create the world's most outrageous custom motorcycles. The arguments fly right along with the sparks in this celebration of man over machine, and one family's struggle to run the business of their dreams.

Season 5 (Part 1): On the opening episode of Season 5, Paul Jr. and Paul Sr. join forces, as they each build a bike that will be auctioned off to benefit the families of wounded and fallen troops. Batter Up! The OCC is off to Yankee Stadium to meet with Yankee catcher Jorge Posada to discuss building a bike to be auctioned off to benefit his Foundation. The crew then gets an out-of-this-world experience when they head to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas to get some inspiration for the NASA-themed bike that they will build.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Customer Reviews

Creativity at its best
I bought the series for our son. He loves the shows. I've watched some of them, but chopper stuff isn't for me. As long as he enjoys them that's all that matters. I do recommend the series for anyone who is interested in custom bikes.

I believe these sets are privately produced by Amazon, definitely not by the Learning Channel's production company. This is a bare bones set. NO special features, not even a disk menu to choose episodes on each disk. Discovery did much better with seasons 1-3, these new sets leave much to be desired, and at around $5 per episode, the price is steep. Still fun if you want to have these episodes. Come on Learning/Discovery- you can do better than this!!!!!

Cheap quality, Same good show, though!
The dvds are definitely manufactured by someone different than the first 3 seasons. The dvds are really bad in the fact that they are out of order on the disc (episode wise). I also had a disc arrive that did not even work. The best part is that the cheap producers did not use any anti-burning techniques, so you can burn / copy them all you want. Might save you some money if you don't want to pay the 30 bucks per set. I would ask around if I were you before buying.

On a good note, the show is still excellent and provides lots of entertainment. I love American Choppers. I just hope they choose a better company next time to release the dvds, just for their sake, because pirating is going to be an issue with seasons 4-5-6 (which I bought).
