Press Release from Sara and Jody:
Minneapolis, MN— The launch of www.garage-girls.com was well received by female motorcycle enthusiasts around the world. The new site created and maintained by Sara Liberte and Jody Perewitz presents motorcycling and everything that goes along with it from a female perspective.
www.garage-girls.com is a unique, exciting new website developed to meet the growing needs of women seeking information about motorcycles and their maintenance. “Women are buying more motorcycles now than ever before. Along with owning the bike, many also want to know how to perform general maintenance, connect with other female riders about issues important to them and their everyday life. The site was created to meet their needs” explained founder Sara Liberte. The concept driving Garage-girls.com is to encourage women to maintain a balance between their motorcycle and body. Garage-girls accomplishes this by providing quality content covering topics including demonstration videos focused on motorcycle maintenance ranging anywhere from changing fluids, battery care, tire care, tool information, new product testing and ways to individualize/customize motorcycles. You’ll also find information on keeping up with a healthy lifestyle, from exercise to recipes to overall health info, beauty products, fashion, and general interests such as movies, books and music. On the site you’ll also find Cruisin’ Companions. In this section visitors are encouraged upload a photo of their adorable pet to share with other garage-girl guests. This section of the site is dedicate to raising awareness for Animal Friends, a non-profit organization that relies on community support to help find homes for pets in need.
“Motorcycling is second nature to me, being raised in the industry I sometimes forget it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing. Garage-girls takes all of the information so many female riders want and breaks it down into pieces that are easy to understand and digest” stated Jody Perewitz, co-Founder of the new site.
Sara and Jody both have spent a significant time working and playing with bikes resulting in real life experience in the motorcycle industry. Sara and Jody each work full-time in the motorcycle industry and regularly tour nationally attending events, presenting information at dealerships to female customers or participating in charitable causes deeply rooted in the motorcycle industry.
This spring you will see Sara and Jody out on the road participating in a few bike builds at live events in the Northeast and also presenting at the 105th Harley-Davidson Reunion in Milwaukee, WI later this summer.

Stay tuned for an HH interview with the Garage Girls in an upcoming issue!
As we look back, the auction proved to be a great learning experience on several levels: promotion, charitable organizations, and the logistics of auctioneering. I could go on, but one of the best things we learned about were the people, those in need and those willing to help, both completely extraordinary! Because of these people, (motorcyclists, artists, cycle connoisseurs, aid agencies, etc.) plans are already underway for the next November 2008. Yes folks, with all lessons well gained, the auction will be an annual event. Our helmets off to all those who made this auction a success and continue to support HH in all its endeavours! Thank You!
