McCain gets Orange County Chopper

Presidential candidate given custom motorcycle to honour American POWs

Tweet
Posted: 23 September 2008
by Visordown News

AMERICAN Presidential candidate, John McCain (the right wing one, the one who can't raise his hands above his shoulders) has been given an Orange County Chopper.

McCain, who raised eyebrows recently by recruiting Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, the moose hunting, gun-toting mother of a pregnant 17-year-old as his deputy, took delivery of the bike at a rally in Media, Pennsylvania.

A motorcycle to commemorate his service as a prisoner of war in Vietnam made by the Orange County Choppers, “Before we go to Washington to shake things up, we have a special surprise for Senator McCain. Today we have a very special veteran with us — Paul Teutul. Paul is a Vietnam veteran and the founder of the Orange County Choppers, a custom motorcycle company,” Palin said, “And they built, you guys, they built a special bike honouring all POWs and Vietnam vets and they brought it by to give Senator McCain a chance to see it up close.”

I would not say no to an Orange County built chopper.

Would like to slap Paul junior though!

Not seen it in a while but I wouldn't buy one of their monstrosities after watching the program. They're more of-the-shelf-part-fitters rather than designers/builders.

Does 'Paulie' (gay name!) still beg for his fathers love every episode?

If someone gave me a Orange County Chopper for nothing I wouldn't turn it down, but then once I got my hands on it I flog it on ebay and buy several more bikes to fill my garage!
