Jon and Kate plus American Chopper Equals More Free Gifts = Kate's Pink Vespa and Jon's Hog

Kate: "I will not lay down and die." (She will ride her free Vespa)

Does this seem like a family dealing with scandal?
Oh yeah, the cameras are on...

Jon and Kate are at it again. As posted previously, all the tabloid scandals seem to have been a media ruse for publicity. And from a lot of viewers-before the big season premier- it is hard to tell if anyone is feeling sorry for the couple. Will the damage control work? A recent HLN poll showed that 83% of people polled would not tune in to Monday night's premier of Season 5.

One commenter said, "You would think they would stop production and work on their family issues." Another replied, "If the stories are untrue, why not file a lawsuit? That is what makes me question as if there is truth to the rumors, and if it is a publicity stunt on behalf of TLC."

Either way, filming forges ahead for controversial couple Jon and Kate Gosselin--and, it seems, their relationship does as well.

While infidelity and marriage-of-convenience reports plague the two and their eight children, they continue to film a new season of their hit TLC series Jon & Kate Plus 8.

New pictures have surfaced of the Gosselin's filming a forthcoming episode where fellow TLC show American Chopper invades their town of Reading, PA and gifts the couple their own motorcycles.

Despite the rumors, the couple are still accepting free gifts. Paul Sr. of Orange County Choppers gifted Kate with her own Pink Vespa Scooter during the filming. Jon also received a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Kate is seen getting instruction-wearing a denim mini skirt and wedge heels-on her humble power scooter -- a hot pink on light pink Vespa --then lounging on her lawn with the kids. Jon opts to hit the open road on his "hog". Both cycle and scooter were presented to Jon and Kate by Paul Sr. of Orange County Choppers, from the TLC series, American Chopper.
