Sarah Palin makes reality TV appearance on grizzly bear hide

Washington, May 1 (ANI): Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made an appearance on reality TV series "American Chopper" while sitting on a sofa draped with a massive grizzly bear hide that her father killed.

Palin met with the show's star Paul Teutul Sr. in her Anchorage office on April 29 and the show was aired on April 30 on the popular Learning Channel staple.

The bike-building duo took a trip to Anchorage to research building a custom motorcycle to honour Alaska's 50th anniversary of statehood.

"You've got that patriotism in you that people just so respect. Thank you for that," Fox News quoted Palin as telling the show's host.

Teutul co-stars with his son, Paulie "Junior" Teutul, in the show about their family business, Orange County Choppers, which builds pricey custom motorcycles. (ANI)
