Obama to Bikers: Don’t Rev Your Engines for McCain

A new radio spot airing in Wisconsin (the home of Harley-Davidson) mocks the Arizonan’s remarks to bikers at a rally in South Dakota earlier this month.

The ad quotes McCain’s joke about prefering the roar of Harleys over that of Berliners, calls him out for allegedly opposing a requirement the government buy American-made motorbikes.

“But when it comes to his record, American-made motorcycles like Harleys don’t matter to John McCain.”
