Who Won The Bike? Bob Did!
One of the things I like about IMTS is the festive, fair-like quality of what exhibitors do to draw attendees to their booths.
One of the things I like about IMTS is the festive, fair-like quality of what exhibitors do to draw attendees to their booths. A number of exhibitors sponsor raffles. Perhaps the most exciting of these giveaways at this show was the one sponsored by Siemens Industry Inc. The prize was a 10th Anniversary motorcycle built by Orange County Choppers (OCC), the custom shop owned by Paul Teutel, Sr. and popularized on national TV.
The bike is gorgeous. Members of the trade press (sadly) were not eligible to enter the raffle. However, more than 3,000 show-goers registered for the raffle during the six-day show. Recently, the winner was announced after receiving the bike from OCC. The winner is Bob Pool, machining supervisor at Riverview Manufacturing Inc., in Palmyra, Missouri.
