Custom Theatre Chairs

We have gotten involved with a company in Texas that makes home theatre chairs, Continential Seating. They are making a special line of Perewitz custom seats. These are made in the USA with the best quality goods. We love to support American Made!


This past weekend we took the chair with us on the road! As I wrote in the previous post it was 5 of us in the truck along with the dogs... if it wasn't so cold we would have been fighting over who got to ride in the chair in the back of the truck!

Everyone was jumping to sit in the chair. Here we are on our feet all day, on the hard cement floor, dealing with people, eating crappy show food, and then there is the big plush chair! It was like a little piece of heaven. I have to say though most of the weekend one person hogged the chair... no not Dave... I know that's what you were thinking... JEFF! I think he even made some sales from the chair! When Jeff wasn't in the chair we had a few special guest in it including Michele Smith from American Thunder.

You can order one of these custom chairs right from us! They make an awesome addition to your home theatre, living room, office, anywhere!




Michele taking a break!


Dave, Michele, and Susan. Fit for 3!

The last Northeast Expo

Today my mom, dad, Kory, Jeff, the 2 dogs and I traveled to Long Island for the last Northeast Expo for 2008. Yup that's right 5 of us plus Louie and Cheech in the truck. Thankfully it is a crew cab so it was tight but it could have been worse. We took the ferry from New London which is only about an hour and half from home. So the hour and half ferry ride broke up the trip. We had an hour and half drive to the ferry, that we barely caught, then an hour and half ferry ride, then an hour and half ride on the island. I took my camera with me but unfortunately I forgot to take my memory card out of my computer at work!! So no pictures but don't worry we stopped at a Target and I got one. So I will bring your pictures tomorrow! The weather has been cloudy and rainy most of the day so the ferry ride wasn't beautiful, nice but not that I missed on great pictures!
Sara and I will be building our bobber for the last time too! So make sure to come check out the bike and get your raffle tickets. I heard that you were going to be the lucky winner!! :-)
The show looks like its going to be packed with vendors and cool stuff. It is at the Suffolk Community College in... I am not even sure what town we are in... Brentwood?
Anyway if you get a chance, come by the show! It looks like it is going to be a good one.

Photos from Boston

Below are some photos from Doug and De from the Northeast Motorcycle Expo in Boston this past weekend.
We are still in NH and they are expecting a foot or more of snow tonight so I will take some pictures tomorrow because they already have about 2 1/2 feet of snow so another foot will be something!

Got Pictures?

The Perewitz crew had a busy weekend! We had the Northeast Motorcycle Expo in Boston. Our home town! We brought in about 15 bikes into the show. So Friday and Sunday were hectic days of loading the trailer with bikes and apparel.
The show was wicked busy Saturday and Sunday. We sold a ton of books and apparel. According to Kev-Marv Productions the show had the second largest attendance in 7 years! That is huge, seeings how the motorcycle industry and economy in general is down.
Sara and I did the charity build again. On Sunday we brought the bobber to life with a little puff of the exhaust and a roar of the 80" Evo. I definitely give a big thanks to Kevin and Lou-ann for putting on a great show!
We had a lot of great people come by the show to check us out and also hang out at the booth. Doug and Pete Robinson, now known as Thug and Streets respectively, came by to hang out for the weekend and to check out Doug's new "Baggah". He was impressed and so were we, Brian Klock has nothing on our new Baggah!
I am waiting for some pictures from the show from our pal Mike Keegan.
I am writing this from Loon Mountain in NH so I don't have any pictures with me. Kory, Jared and I came up to NH after the show Sunday night to go snowboarding for a few days. I have to say the conditions today were perfect! Bring on the snow!
As soon as I get some pics I will post them!

Show wrap up!


Happy Monday!

We got back from the Northeast Expo show in Reading PA late last night. It was a great show as usual for Kev-Marv Productions. There was a huge attendance.

Sara and I finished our Garage Girls bobber on Sunday. The bike roared to life. The Perewitz booth was full of people throughout the day getting autographs and checking out the cool customs. The most popular bike though was Dave's 1950 Pan!
As we packed up last night we all thought about what a great show it was. Also a highlight was that my Ant BB (Barb for Barb's Harley Davidson of Camden County) came to see Sara and I work and hang out with my mom. It was good to see her. Hopefully she will come to the Boston Show Feb. 8-9.

The drive home was good until we hit Norton, MA. They had a dusting of snow that covered the roads. Kory and I dropped Jeff off and headed home to B'water. The closer we got to home the worse the roads got. The highway was a snow covered road! It was like no one existed! There were no plows, no trucks or cars out. Once we got off the highway we had to drive about 5 miles to our house. Kory had to put the truck in 4-wheel drive because the trailer and truck was just slipping and sliding. We were both thrilled to be home after a long cold ride and a bogus hotel.

There's nothing like home, well except maybe the Ritz Carlton!!

Nice jersey!!

This is what the road looked like!

And the shows start!

Kory, Jeff, Louie, Cheech and I left this morning for a bike show in Reading, PA. We, in typical Perewitz fashion, got off to a late start. The drive was definitely entertaining though, from singing, to laughing, to making bets, to someone being a crybaby.

Jeff didn't know that I was recording him headbanging in the truck. I can just imagine what people thought as the truck and the Perewitz moving billboard goes by them.

We arrived to the show of course late and Kory had to do some serious driving to get the trailer in its place. Sara and I took apart the bobber we built at the last show so we can build it again tomorrow and Sunday.

We just got to the hotel a little while ago and the only good thing is that they have free slow internet connection. The hotel wouldn't be all that bad except our room smells so bad! It smelled like someone smoked a pack of butts and the doors have been shut for a week! None of us are smokers so this is really a disgusing smell! Hopefully Kory's Axe spray and the window open will air it out a little. Oh and they aren't pet friendly, opps! How can you say no to Louie and Cheech!!

De's Adventure

By: De Correia

On Saturday Jan. 5th Susan P. and I closed up shop to go down to the Hartford Expo to give our support to Jody and Sara's Garage Girl Bike Build. It was fun to see them hard at work but enjoying every minute. As Sue and I were walking around to each vendor, I saw a very lonely mechanical bull. I said what, "No line & free!" Oh what the hell my back is fine today..
So up I went, leather glove in one hand and the other raised for balance. The switch turned on and the bull moved enough to get me to say Yeee haw. Mr. Bull was moving a bit faster than I wanted up, down, left and right. I proceeded to show off 5 times around with no dramamine on board I said, "please slow down".
Now I can say I rode a bull and that's no bullshit!
I had brought somewhat of a crowd to the bull, when our buddy, the parts guy Jeff, thought he would give it a whirl. As soon as he was on and gloved up Mr. Bull was starting to gallop up and down, left and right, faster and faster! So fast our buddy Jeff went flying with the greatest of ease!
And that's no bull!

Garage Girl Build


This past weekend Sara Liberte and I built a Bobbah at the Northeast Motorcycle Expo in Hartford CT. We started the build on Saturday and finish Sunday when the bike roared to life! It was a success! Sara and I worked for most of the day Saturday. We only had the rear wheel, front wheel, gas tank, seat and battery to do for Sunday. In the early afternoon the bike was alive.


We will be doing another build at 3 more Northeast Expo shows in Reading PA, Boston, and Long Island.

The Bikers for a Cure sold 150+ $10 raffle tickets for the bike. Make sure to buy your ticket at the next event. We will hopefully be selling tickets as well.

There was a lot of contributors to the success of this motorcycle and I would like to thank them all for their generous donations! Also thanks guy here at Perewitz and my mom and dad for all your help and support. Oh and Tyara! Thanks for passing out stickers and helping with the build ;-)

Charity Bike

Happy Holidays!

Sorry for not writing this week but my computer has been infected with a virus! So it at the hospitol right now getting some surgery done.

The Charity bike that Sara Liberte and I are building at the Northeast Motorcycle Expo is coming along. We have a week left to get it all mocked up and painted! That may sound like a short amount of time but in Perewitz time that is a lot!! We got the motor last night from Boston Harley Davidson. Some of the other great contributors are Paughco, Russ Wernimont, Gardner Wescott, Black Bike Wheels, Spyke & Compufire, Barb's Harley Davidson, Duane Ballard Seats, BDL Belt Drives, JayBrake and a few others.

Below are a few pictures of the bike as it sits now. Some lucky person will win this bobber for $10! Make sure to check back for where you can purchase a ticket.

New Partnership

My father and I just had a meeting with "Bruce Rossmeyers" Boston Harley Davidson. We made a lot of exciting connections with the guys from the dealership. We will be working together on the 2 markets of bikers, stock bikers and custom bikers.
There is a lot of potential for both businesses. Also Boston HD has said they will donate the motor for the bike Sara Liberte and myself will be building at the Northeast Expo. I will keep you updated as things start to move!

Garage Girls


Sorry I didn't write! We are really busy yesterday at the shop. Sara Liberte was here from Pittsburgh for a photo shoot. Sara and I are going to be building a bobber at a couple of shows in January and Febuary. So we had people here from the show and also the charity and Mike Keegan our photographer.

It was a busy day and of course the weather didn't help. It was really cold out and snowing and icey. Just a cold wintery day.

You can check out Northeast Motorcycle Expo for more details on the shows. The bike will be raffled off and all the money will go to the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Below are some pictures from the day and also the truck that you have been watching getting flamed!
Before it was striped!
Getting Stripped!

Winter Shows

My father and I met with Lou-Ann and Kevin from Kev-Marv Productions for lunch Friday. They run the Northeast Motorcycle Expo's.
The NME wants myself and Sara Liberte to join there shows in 2008. We will be building a bike on stage at a couple of the shows. There will be a time limit for the two of us to complete a custom bobber. Sara and I will be answering questions and explaining what we are doing as we build. The motorcycle will be raffled off and all money will be donated to the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
We will have a lot of work to do before the first show in January so hopefully we can get everything together and make it happen in a month and half! The definite shows will be Hartford January 5-6, and Boston February 9-10. I will let you know as more happens and we set official dates.
