In the world of custom motorcycle fabricators, there are people who are well-liked and people who are respected. Only a few are both, and among them, even fewer are acknowledged as deans of their industry. Dave Perewitz is a member -- many would say a leader -- of that very elite group.
As for why he's so respected, five minutes of viewing – and/or riding -- one of his custom creations will tell you everything you need to know. When you cruise the streets on a Perewitz custom motorcycle it is beyond doubt, “ART IN MOTION”.
Dave has been building and customizing motorcycles since the early 70’s. He started out in his fathers back yard shed and has made it to a new state of the art facility in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The new “shop” houses every aspect of the business from paint to assembly to selling t-shirts.
Many celebrities have come to Dave for custom motorcycles including NFL players, NASCAR drivers, and rock stars. Dave is working on his 6th bike for NFL star Ruben Brown. Ruben is a close friend and great customer. Also in the works is a custom chopper for NASCAR’s Jeremy Mayfield. Other celebrity builds include Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford, Hulk Hogan, Ray Evernham, Kyle Petty and many more.
In 2003 Dave did a Biker Build-off for Discovery Channel. He went against Florida’s Billy Lane, as Dave describes the build and ride as a “once in a life time experience”. Well it just so happens that Dave is making it twice in a life time. He recently finished filming another Biker Build-off that went to Sturgis South Dakota. He went against Phoenix Arizona’s Paul Yaffe. The show will air October 9th on Discovery Channel.
