Women's Riding Essentials In San Fran

Nicole Roesch and I met in San Francisco last week to do a Kryptonite sponsored Women's Riding Essential Class. San Fran is definitely different than the east coast! People, clothing, weather, everything! I had never been to San Fran so it was cool to see Northern Cal. A great city and great people!

We took a cab to Scuderia West where we had a fun evening. The dealership was very unique in a sense that it was an older building but every space seemed to have a useful purpose. They sold Aprilla, Victory, KTM, and some used bikes. The staff couldn't have been nicer.

Once the class got started we learned that there is a ton of women riders in California! I guess with gas at $5 a gallon in CA you look for alternative modes of transportation. There is a large scooter population too, many business women ride scooters to work not just because of gas but parking. There is very few places to park in San Fran. As in most major city's parking is tough to come by.

We went over lots of basics on riding, proper gear, safety and protection for your bike. I have a bright pink Icon jacket which I think is wicked cool and everywhere I go other girls think it's really cool except San Fran! The girls liked the jacket but wanted to know if it came in black! Which it does!

I guess they aren't into bright color's in the Bay Area. I suppose a Perewitz custom would stick out! Nicole and I both learned a lot from the women of Scuderia as I hope they learned from us! It was another great Kryptonite Women's Riding Essential Class!

Long after price is forgotten…..

Value is remembered.

And that is the reality of a Perewitz bike.

Take a look at Ebay…

So called "custom" bikes are selling at pennies on the dollar.

How often do you see Perewitz customs selling for chump change?

Now that the economy is tanking, price dominates. However, the discriminating buyer will recognize value.

So…how does it feel riding a POS? Let's assume you can get it to start.…

FWIW, every time I get on my Perewitz, I am reminded of how confident I feel on a quality ride.

And no…I haven't "drank the Kool-Aid"…I am a pain-in-the-soft supporting area of the human anatomy…but you can't shine sh*t and I recommend that you consider that in your next, or first, build.

Perewitz Tail Light

Broome Community College Students design and build a custom motorcycle tail light for Perewitz Cycle Fabrication

Electrical Engineering Technology students from Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York have been working with Perewitz Cycle Fabrication on several design projects. The latest project is a custom LED tail light. The tail light was a collaborative project between Perewitz Cycle Fabrication, Broome Community College, and Eckcraft Metal Arts.

We even managed to get Dave to meet with the class once a week via teleconference equipment over the internet. The students came up with several tail light designs and presented them to Dave. The final design was hashed out during the teleconference sessions. This was a great experience for everyone involved.

The metal housing was machined at Eckcraft Metal Arts in Binghamton, NY. The custom electronic assembly was designed and built by the EET students as part of their Senior Design Project. We look forward to doing more projects with Perewitz Cycle Fabrication in the future.

Road Kill

This happened in Laconia a couple weeks ago. Kory supposedly ran over a porcupine while coming home late one night on his bike. He said that the thing was the size of a "baby elephant". I said "really, come on, that big and it didn't do any damage!?". He insisted it was true and had a witness. Jared.


I just got these pictures last night and though I would share them with you.





Kory says they were riding to the house they were staying at in Alton Bay, NH late one night, when something crossed the road in front of Kory. He hit his brakes but it was to late he felt a big thump! Of course NH is pitch dark at night so he couldn't see what it was. When he got to the house he found quills in the front tire and stuck to his shirt! In shock that it was a porcupine that he hit, him and Jared got in the truck to search out the carcus.


With the lights of the truck they were able to find the body. To their surprise it was a giant porcupine!


I guess Kory got lucky that he didn't go down or do any damage to the bike. He figures it was probably a good thing for him that he hit it rather than swerve and try to avoid it and go off the road! Sorry Porky!

Walk In Special!

We are offering a "walk in special" oil changes for $49.95 everything included! We would assume that more people are riding their bikes to work etc..
We also want to reach out to the customers that wouldn't normally come to our shop because they assume we don't work on anything but custom. That's not the case. We are even starting to dip into the street bike market. So pass the word to your friends that if it's got 2 wheels we will most likely work on it.
Don't forget Perewitz Bike Night is next Wednesday July 16th! Hope to see ya there!
