Heading to AyCee to say your farewell to the Summer of '08? You might want to check out a couple of special events while you're down there:

HOT WHEELS: Friday night, Bally's Atlantic City caps off its month-long  Orange County Choppers celebration at the recently opened (and newly renovated) Dennis Hotel Courtyard.

At 9:30, Paul Teutul, Sr., whose company, Orange County Choppers, is the subject of the popular TLC reality series, "American Choppers," will take the wraps off the motorcycle he and his team have created exclusively for the midtown gaming hall. He'll then officially award the bike to the Bally's patron whose name was selected at a 7 p.m. drawing. There will also be live music and other festivities.

FUNNY STUFF:  Billions and billions.

That's how many chuckles, guffaws and belly laughs have emanated from the Comedy Stop seven nights a week, for 25 years. Saturday, the chuckle hut inside the Tropicana will celebrate its silver anniversary with a joke-athon starring 11 comedians: Adrianne Tolsch, Don Gavin, Tina Giorgi, Kevin Knox, Greg Morton, Joe Mulligan, Manny Oliveri, Jackson Perdue, John Roy and Harry Basil.

Riding heard on all the hijinks will be emcee Butch Bradley.

As founder-owner Bob Kephart will happily tell you, the Comedy Stop has, during the past quarter-century, showcased the talents of such comedy giants as Tim Allen, Rosie O'Donnell, Drew Carey, Ray Romano, Rhett Butler, Lewis Black and the late, great Richard Jeni.

Show time is  9 p.m. Admission is $65, $55 and $45. Tickets for the VIP After-Party are $25 along with a ticket stub from the gig. For tickets and info, call (609) 348-0920, or go to www.comedystop.com.
