John McCain picked up a surprise gift Tuesday, an Orange County Chopper motorcycle, courtesy of the stars of the "American Chopper" reality TV series who roared in to present it to the Republican presidential hopeful.

Father and son co-stars Paul and Paulie "Junior" Teutul, whose show about building custom bikes together is a popular Learning Channel staple, appeared at McCain's rally in this Philadelphia suburb to honor him with a special bike they'd built to recognize Vietnam-era prisoners of war.

"Sarah and I are going to get on that chopper and ride it straight to Washington!" he said.

Staffers to the Arizona senator later said the chopper would remain with the Teutuls and continue to serve as a tribute to all POWs.

--------------------------------So is this another mccain flip flop? First he's FOR riding it all the way to Warshington, then it turns out he's not.

With mccain's record of crashing jets I wouldn't want him driving with ME riding shotgun. Can't you just picture it? mccain with a doobie hanging out of his mouth with a skull cap helmet and sarah palin embracing him and shrieking into the night?

Oh, and I didn't realize that mccain was a prisoner of some war or something, go figger.
