ARE YOU READY? Start Preparing Now For The Riding Season
By Imre Szauter
For those of us in the frigid Midwest and other cold parts of the country, March thaws signal that it’s time to start getting ready to ride again—especially if we’re headed to Daytona Beach, Fla., for Bike Week.
But how much thought do we really put into getting prepared? Probably not as much as we should. After all, there’s an awful lot to think about.
Here’s a checklist of things to help ensure you’re prepared for a safe, and enjoyable, 2013 riding season:
Operator’s License: Reach into your wallet right now and pull out your driver’s license. Is it still valid or has it expired? Is it about to expire? Do you have a current motorcycle endorsement?
If your license has expired or is about to expire, make arrangements now to get a new one. And if you don’t have a motorcycle endorsement, make 2013 the year you get one—the sooner the better.
Motorcycle Insurance: Most of us can’t even find our motor vehicle insurance policy documents. Now is a good time to hunt them down or to ask your insurance agent for a new copy.
Check to see whether your insurance policy is still in force. If you suspend coverage during the off-season, make sure you restart your coverage before going out for the first time or heading out to Daytona Bike Week. Be sure to find your proof-of-insurance card.
You may also want to think about whether you need to update your policy to reflect the current value of your bike and the accessories, or make any changes to your liability and/or uninsured/underinsured coverage.
And, just for fun, read the fine print. For example, some motorcyclists believe their vehicle insurance policies provide medical coverage for the operator when, in fact, they don’t or they provide minimal coverage.
Health Insurance: It’s extremely important to check your health insurance policy to ensure that your policy will cover injuries suffered in a motorcycle crash. To save money, some employers have chosen to eliminate health benefits payments for employees injured during “risky activities,” which they may define as riding motorcycles.
So check your medical insurance policy for “Exclusions.” That’s where your insurance company spells out what it won’t cover. If the wording is ambiguous, ask your human resources or personnel department whether injuries suffered in a motorcycle crash are covered.
If you don’t have health insurance coverage through your employer, or your employer doesn’t cover injuries incurred while riding, consider a supplemental policy for coverage. Having health insurance coverage is very important before you get on the road.
Riding Gear: Check all your riding gear and protective equipment. Sometimes riding gear, um, “shrinks” during the winter, so it’s best to inspect and repair/replace as needed. If all of your riding gear is suddenly too small, then you may want to consider a personal training and weight control program to get back into shape for the season ahead.
And this may be a good time to consider buying that new helmet you really want.
Your Motorcycle: Did you winterize your bike before putting it away? Now is a great time to have your bike serviced at your local dealership or repair shop if you use one for maintenance.
If you’re thinking about replacing your current ride, now is the
time to research what’s out there and think about trading in or selling your motorcycle.
Your Riding Skills: When was the last time you took a rider education course, such as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Basic RiderCourse or the Basic RiderCourse 2? What about an advanced training program, such as one of the private track-based schools?
Now is the time to plan for a skills tune-up because many statesponsored and private rider-training programs are releasing their 2013 training program schedules, and classes fill up quickly.
Many courses handle scheduling online, so check with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (www.msf-usa.org) for the nearest training program in your state.
Your Motorcycling Knowledge: It’s never too late to read and research a motorcycle-related topic of interest to you. Online resources, libraries and bookstores have dozens of publications that you can lose yourself in. Not to mention the AMA website at www.americanmotorcyclist.com.
Your Motorcycling Passion: How about becoming a RiderCoach in your state- or private- rider-education program? It’s hard to find a more rewarding way of giving back to the community that has made so much available to you than by helping others learn proper mental and physical riding skills.
Your AMA And Other Memberships: Are you a member of one or more riding groups or organizations that support the riding community? If so, is your membership current?
Whether it’s an off-highway group that volunteers to clean up and maintain trails or a state motorcyclists’ rights organization that advocates on behalf of the riding community in your state capital, they all could use a bit of your time and talent to make things better for everyone.
So make sure your AMA membership is current. Remember, AMA Roadside Assistance doesn’t cost you a penny if you enroll in our membership auto-renewal program, and it can come in handy if you have a mechanical breakdown.
Urge your friends and family members to check their AMA membership status as well. And if they are not members, encourage them to join the AMA. More members means more political clout to fight for your right to ride and race.
Have a great 2013 riding season!

“In high school I was like, ‘yeah, my dad builds motorcycles. You got a problem with that?’”
SPEED DEMONS
DAVE AND JODY PEREWITZ
GO FAST THEIR WAY
BY JAMES HOLTER
PHOTOS BY KEN RICHARDSON
When Dave Perewitz stepped out on the Bonneville Salt Flats for the first time in 2011, he didn’t know what to expect—and neither did the land-speed racers who call the flats home every summer during the AMA Land Speed Grand Championships.
“You’re out here for the first time,” Denis Manning, event promoter and Perewitz’s longtime friend, told him. “People are watching you. You have no experience, and you guys are a high-profile team. I don’t want any showing off.”
Even here, among fellow lifelong motorcyclists, Perewitz faced preconceptions formed from his reputation as a custom bike builder. An AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer, Perewitz has been creating custom American V-twins since the 1970s, and he went to Bonneville like he goes everywhere: with no excuses for his poster-boy representation of the biker lifestyle.
“Yep, no problem, Denis,” Perewitz
replied. “You just tell us what you want us to do.”
Perewitz didn’t blame Manning for being careful. It’s the promoter’s job to make sure the event runs smoothly and professionally. Inexperienced competitors making rookie mistakes can ruin everyone’s day, and Perewitz certainly was a land-speed racing rookie.
Not only did he come to Bonneville with a decidedly non-Bonneville pedigree, but his team’s rider was Perewitz’s then-28year-old daughter, Jody, who herself also lacked any background in competition.
And the bike?
It wasn’t a Japanese-built supersport that rolled out of the factory already capable of going nearly 200 mph with minimal tuning. Like Perewitz’s custom choppers and baggers, it was a fully custom
American V-twin, built from the ground up in Perewitz’s New Jersey shop. From the suspension to the geometry to the engine, it was an unproven machine at 150 mph, let alone at higher speeds.
But Dave and Jody Perewitz would get their shot, racing pedigree or no racing pedigree. The first step, Manning told them, was to get licensed for speed. Inexperienced land-speed racers have to earn the right to compete on the 11-mile long course by running at least 175 mph on the 5-mile short course.
“Jody made 175 mph on her fourth pass,” Perewitz remembers. “That was unheard of, especially since the record in the class she was running at the time was 178 mph.”
It was time to go racing.
IN HER BLOOD
Jody Perewitz rode dirtbikes and fourwheelers as a kid and, like any kid living that life, she had a blast.
“Motorcycles were just second nature to
me,” she says. “I had friends, mostly boys, who would come over and we would ride all day in this field by my parents’ house. In the wintertime, we rode snowmobiles. We would ride around the yard until it was pitch dark out. I can’t imagine a childhood any different.”
But Jody admits there was a time—a very long time ago—that the biker lifestyle eluded her.
“When I was real young, like in grade school, I wasn’t sure what to think about [her dad’s custom bike business],” she remembers. “I never thought it was uncool, but I just didn’t talk about it with my friends. He was that stereotypical biker, covered in tattoos, and I felt like the teachers would turn up their noses at him.”
But by the time she was a few years older, that sentiment was long gone.
“By the time I was in high school, I was like, ‘yeah, my dad builds motorcycles. You got a problem with that?’” she recalls.
Now, Jody is in deep. Her life revolves around motorcycles of all kinds, particularly American-made streetbikes, which her brother introduced her to when she was 16. She started with a blue and purple (“because my dad painted it”) 1998 Buell M2, moved to a 2001 Buell and then
a 2006 Buell Firebolt 1200. Now, she also has a decked-out custom bagger and the bike that earns her the most respect among her dad’s biker friends, a ’63 Harley-Davidson panhead.
“The panhead is kick only, and being an old bike, it can be temperamental,” she says. “I love that bike. It may sound crazy, but there’s a distinct sound that panheads make, and when I kickstart it, it’s so satisfying to hear it roar to life.”
It’s also the kind of bike that only certain riders appreciate.
“It’s black and root beer colored and nothing fancy,” she says. “It’s clean and simple and a lot of people don’t look twice at it. The old bikers recognize it, though, and they’ll sometimes scoff when they see a girl riding it, but once they realize I can ride it and start it, I earn their respect.”
After attending the University of Massachusetts on a scholarship—she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science—Jody returned to the family business. Her first challenge was overcoming the prejudices of some of her dad’s oldest customers.
“As recently as eight or nine years ago, there was a different perception of female riders,” Jody says. “We rode small bikes. Now, we’re better accepted and once the
hard-core guys see my passion for riding, they no longer question me.”
And that passion runs deep—so deep that when Jody built up an interest in land-speed racing two years ago, she took matters into her own hands. She gave her dad a trip to Bonneville for Christmas.
“He was into it,” she says. “And he said, ‘Well, if we’re going to go, we might as well race it.’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’m in!’”
For Dave, the decision to race, and the commitment to do it right, reflect qualities that have served him well for more than 40 years in the custom bike business.
BIKE BUILDER
Dave Perewitz became interested in building custom machines when he was 16 years old.
“I got involved with the local hot-rod car guys,” he remembers. “Then all my buddies switched from hot-rod cars to hot-rod bikes. I was probably 17 then, and I got my first bike when I was 18 and never looked back.”
The bike was a 1964 Harley-Davidson Sportster. Dave worked as a line mechanic in a body shop and after watching the painters in the shop, he figured out how to build his own spray booth in his dad’s 5-by-8-foot shed.
“After painting my own bike, and it coming out pretty good, my buddies wanted me to paint theirs,” he says. “One thing led to another, and I needed a new shop. We built my first shop in 1970-71, and had to add an addition two or three years later. In 1975, I also opened a small retail storefront selling custom parts. By 1979, I was able to build a new, bigger shop in a 24-by-40-foot building.”
Business was good, and Dave was making a name for himself. His contemporaries were fellow AMA
“We did everything in small steps. We never rushed to go fast.”
my guys would come to me and ask if we could change something. I’d say, ‘call Dan.’ They’d call Dan and Dan would say to follow the list. We did, and it worked. If you told me before we started this that we would get 233 horsepower and 196 footpounds of torque out of a little 100-cubicinch motor, I’d have said no way.”
Jody says her dad wasn’t the only one with doubts.
“When we told people we were going land-speed racing on a V-twin and that we wanted to go over 200 mph, you could just see [the doubt] in their facial expressions,” she says. “We had mechanics that had never built a bike like this, with a rider with no racing experience and a team that hadn’t ever set foot on the salt.”
Dave’s answer was to move forward slowly, ask for advice from the best people and then take that advice.
“We did everything in very small steps,” Dave says. “We never rushed to go fast. Jody followed instructions perfectly. If we told her to shift at four grand, she shifted at four grand. It built up her confidence immensely, and it also built up mine in her. Now, when she goes to make a pass, there’s no nervousness because she does such a good job.”
IN THE BOOKS
Jody Perewitz set her first land-speed record as a rookie in 2011. To do so, she not only went blisteringly fast across the salt, but she did so consistently.
Hitting an absolute top speed for a split second is one thing. Running that speed by Bonneville standards is something quite different. Competitors must not only maintain their record pace
over a measured mile, they must repeat the feat in the opposite direction on the same course within a certain time limit. In fact, Jody’s provisional record in 2011 was even faster. She had a single pass of 203.111 mph, making her the first woman in the world to go over 200 mph on an American V-twin, but she was unable to certify it with a comparable back-up run.
Not only did the Perewitzes set the class high mark in 2011 at 188.911 mph, when they returned in 2012, Jody ran 189.655 mph. She competes in the 1650-APS-PBG class for “partially streamlined motorcycles powered by push-rod, supercharged gasoline engines.” By extending her record, Jody cemented her status as the world’s fastest rider on a 100-cubic-inch V-twin-powered motorcycle, setting not just an AMA record but an FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) one, as well.
“We have great pride that we set the record our way, a custom bike shop racing the kind of bikes that my dad built his business on: American-made V-twin motorcycles,” Jody says. “Not to take anything away from riders on sportbikes, but a factory Suzuki will go 189 mph out of the box. There’s no American V-twin that will go 150 mph out of the box, let alone 200. There is nothing production about my bike, and I’m extremely proud of my team for building it up from nothing.”
Jody says she’s also proud to represent women well in a sport that doesn’t make any class distinctions for sex.
“I think it’s good [not to have men’s and women’s classes],” she says. “Females shouldn’t have any kind of handicap. I’ll go against a guy any day. I don’t want to be segregated. When I go to bike shows, our customers will bring their daughters to meet me, and I can tell them that they can accomplish anything they want, in any arena, if they are just determined enough to do it.”
Jody’s life has been all about breaking barriers—from riding dirtbikes with her brother in New Jersey to getting a full scholarship to college to earning the respect of old-school bikers to setting land-speed records in Bonneville.
Her dad couldn’t be happier.
“Jody is 30 years old, and I’m 60 years old, and we have a lot of the same friends,” Dave says. “We go to bike events and we hang out together. We have the same mindset about things. Sure, to have one of your kids following in your footsteps is really cool, but to have your daughter do it in the motorcycle world— well, that’s about as cool as it gets.”
