HOUGHTON -- Statues haven't been the only eye-catching displays on Tech's campus recently.

The custom Army chopper, with a 140 horsepower engine built by the Orange County Choppers, travels the country 11 months of the year.

The motorcycle, which stays at Fort Knox in Kentucky when it's not on the road, was built in 2005 to honor the first POW in the Iraqi conflict.

The motorcycle is covered with standard gear issued to soldiers at boot camp.
