The Chicago Blackhawk bike made an appearance to some very lucky students at the Golf Middle School in Morton Grove, IL this morning. Mrs. Bari Levin's class was met by Bob Perna of Aaron Equipment Company, the sponsor of the bike. The students had a chance to take photos with the Chicago Blackhawks Championship Bike and Bob explained its purpose as a symbol of what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. Bob also explained features of the bike. After a once in a lifetime opportunity to take their photo with the bike, Bob presented the students with a photo of the bike when it was introduced to a capacity crowd at the United Center on October 13. The photo shows Paul Teutel, Sr., the creator of the bike and owner of Orange County Choppers of New York. Mrs. Bari Levin is on the board of the Special Kids Network, one of the charities that the Chicago Blackhawk Chopper will be raffled off for.     Aaron Equipment received the following thank you letter from Mrs. Bari Levin’s class at Golf Middle School in Morton Grove, IL.
