We are sad to hear that a friend and motorcycle enthusiast Captain Phil Harris has passed away. Dave would often get calls from Phil. He would be out on the Bering Sea fishing, looking to get a motorcycle fix. We also recently painted his FLH.

A Night at the Palms
By Kory Souza
Dave and I have been out in Las Vegas at the SEMA show for the past week. The show was good, tons of wicked cool cars, hot rods, and misc. stuff.
On Wednesday night Dave and I met up with his friend Phil Harris to go to the Kicker party at the Palms. The party was in the parking lot. They dirt bikes doing tricks and getting real willy.
We were standing there talking with the headcheese of Kicker when he said "hey no one knows about this but look up, Travis Pastrana and some of his friends are going to jump out the windows"!
All the sudden you see some guys going out on the balcony at least 30 stories up and base jumped into the parking lot. It was such an awesome party already but that just topped it off.
After being outside for a while we went inside the casino. Phil asked us if we wanted to go "upstairs" I was thinking ahh ya ok. We get in the elevator with the bellman and we hit the Playboy suite button!
Oh wait till I till Jody I am going to the Playboy Bunny Suite! All the girls are going to be flowing to my jock like it's gold!
The suite was crispy. There were girls in outfits everywhere. The view was just unbelievable. We could see all of Vegas!
I didn't have a camera, my sidekick was the closest I could get. I know the pictures are horrible but it's better than nothing...

Deadliest Catch Caught The Perewitz's!
Last week Dave got a call from his good friend, Phil Harris, inviting him to Gloucester for the day. Phil is Captain of the Cornelia Marie from the Discovery Channels Deadliest Catch TV Show. Dave and I left early in the morning and fought horrendous traffic for 2 ½ hours to Gloucester, Massachusetts. Or as we like to say “Gloucesta”. The trip was well worth it.
We were invited to the closed taping of two episodes of Discovery Channel’s “After the Catch” show. This was a bona fide TV show taping with trailers, catered lunch, cameras and sound equipment everywhere. This event caused quite a commotion at Prattys bar with a large crowd of onlookers waiting to catch a glimpse of their favorite captains and maybe even get some autographs. Several people recognized Dave and he did pictures and autographs too. We gave Phil a Perewitz shirt and he wore it on the show. Also gave Phil some Peppawitz, Wicked Pissa Peppa, and I hope it will be used on the boat during taping of a show. (Watch out guys…its habit forming).
The host of the show was Mike Rowe from the “Dirtiest Jobs”. Present for After the Catch were Captain Phil Harris, Captain John Hillstrand of the Time Bandit, Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern, and Captain Keith of the Wizard. We got to meet all of them and hang out with them for the day. These guys were all so cool especially Phil, John, and Mike.
There were many guests on these two episodes including some local fisherman who had many tales to tell. All were very interesting. We especially enjoyed meeting and listening to Laura (sorry can’t remember her last name) who was a Coast Guard helicopter pilot stationed in Alaska. She is now retired. During the course of her 15 years of service all over the world Laura made close to 200 rescues, including a very dangerous, scary rescue of a crab fishing boat which will be on her episode.
Two days later, on the way to fly home, Phil and galpal Michelle, stopped by our store to check out the Perewitz motorcycles and shop. He wants a Perewitz bike but needs to be around to ride….most of his time is spent in Alaska. Even when the camera’s aren’t rolling the Cornelia Maria and Captain Phil is out on their regular fishing expeditions.
Had lots of fun with some really, really good people. Sorry it took me so long to get this story together……sooo slow on the computer…..broken right hand…remember!!!! Will follow with pics of my Perewitz custom painted cast!!!
