Turns out the hockey mom is also a motorcycle maven.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin recently welcomed the crew from Orange County Choppers whose custom motorcycle business is featured on TLC's American Chopper to Anchorage where show star Paul Teutul Sr. researched building a bike to honor Alaska's 50-year anniversary of being a state.
"It means so much to the state of Alaska that these guys are building this bike that will honor statehood here," Palin says in the episode, airing April 30 at 9 p.m.
Paul Sr. hangs out with the Governor in her office and talks about the Alaskan weather, snowmobiling and fishing in the summer. "I inherit whatever [husband] Todd rejects from the year before," Palin says.

How about a BBQ&beans cook-off ?
Thing is, Sarah could walk into the shop and look like she belonged there. Pelosi could walk in there and look like an ostrich walking into a Buddhist monastery pretending to be one of the boys. We see this. Inside the Beltway they haven’t a clue.
Agreed on both points. I've been watching the really early episodes of OCC and it's clear that Paul Jr. was why OCC got so much attention. Then again without Paul Sr business experience and contacts in the motorcycle world it might never have gone anywhere. Truly a team effort overall.
America's First Renewable Energy Chopper by jmurphpix. Paul Teutel prepares to take a parade lap on the Renewable Energy Chopper commissioned by the Iowa Farm Bureau and built by Orange County Chopper or OCC. The chopper was the first bike built to run on E-85 ethanol gas and was unveiled at the Iowa Corn Indy 250 race in Newton Iowa by the famous Teutel OCC family.

Can she do us all a favor and slap Paul Jr around and tell him to grow up and be a man?
Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
Hope the video will go online too!
Oh ya - you betcha!
Makes my day. Sarah is the anti-Obama. I woke up to the news of him dissing the tea parties and had bad thoughts. Now I know that a cool eppy of Chopper is coming up with Sarah.
I can't say that I watch the show very often but the times I've seen it, I get the impression that Senior is a no-nonsense, gruff boss but whose growl is a lot worse than his bite. As long as you do what you are supposed to, I don't think that Senior would be that hard to work for.
On the other hand, I see Junior as a self-indulgent, prima donna who gets away with a lot because he is the boss' son, a fact which he knows and takes full advantage of. If I were one of the other employees who came into work at 8:00 (or earlier) and then had to pull an all-nighter to meet a deadline because Junior chose not come into work until 3:00 in the afternoon, I'd be ticked.
‘Can she do us all a favor and slap Paul Jr around and tell him to grow up and be a man?’
I would probably pay good money to watch that!
I got in a hurry and didn't mention that point.
You're right, of course. Paul Jr. might never have had the chance to perfect his craft and enjoy the success he has, without the business acumen of Paul Sr.
If any woman can, it's Sarah, but she's got way too much class for that.
He won't know why, but he'll be strangely easier to get along with after hanging out with her!
It hurts me to see the Paul Jr. and Sr. splitting up and Paulie not working with his father after a spat. The two of them together are dynamite and separate may only be a fart. This is one case where egos need to be set aside so that both can make the maximum amount of money and have enhanced creativity.
Guess Sarah will pay some legal bills with this to the lib smear lawsuits.
Cool is right.. my son and I were discussing the other day that a great campaign stunt would be to have OCC build a bike for you. If I were POTUS, I would have OCC build a President’s Bike....

Sarah can appear on my TV anytime she wants, with or without choppers.
Going to make it all out of ice and bear hides and it will run on seal blubber.
