WOMEN RIDERS HAVE A NEW WEBSITE TO CHECK OUT
www.garage-girls.com goes live covering everything a girl wants to know about motorcycles and so much more…
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.

Thanks for coming to Barbs last week. I am the girl who talked to you about the hot toppers. I wanted you to know I used my service manual again to put on my own saddle bags. Yes I know this is a little thing to you and Sarah, but after I read Sarah’s book and got the Service manual , things I would have taken the bike to the shop for I will see If I think I can do it.
I read you blog, I work for the airlines, and can help you the next time you fly in to PHL. I can’t help with the bag charge, its all about oil right now.
But anyway I really dig the women’s events. I am kind of a loner, but I read and like to go to workshops and classes. I am not the kind that will go up to someone for help with my Hog. So Thanks …..Lorraine
My daughter who is 18 recently graduated high school. Most of her friends got new cars, we chose a diffrent route. SHe is majoring in engineering so we didn’t want her out until midnight at McDonalds when she has 8 am calculus classes.
So instead, we bought her a complete setup of screen printing equipment so that she could work to determine how much money she makes on her own and on her own schedule.
If you guys ever become in need of t-shirts for what you do, keep her in mind. Her business is Girls In The Garage. Thanks.
ps. She shares this garage space with a Heritage Softtail Classic and a 1200 Custom of her mother’s. She recently got her MC license in Jan and has been tearing up the roads on mine.

Dear Sarah;
I live in Carlisle, PA, and have worked for several years as an independent correspondent, contributing to the “Sentinel”, Carlisle’s local newspaper.
I have wrote for the business section of that publication, again, as an independent correspondent, as I had 4 small children at home and was not available full time.
I will be attending the Bike show July 17th & 18th, hosting guest bikers from out of town, and would love to know if you could use an extra hand covering events for your publication.
I will be happy to provide you with references that will attest to my writing abilities as well as my photography.
Would love to help forward what you are going! please feel free to call or write me at the address or number listed below.
Hoping to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Christine Mcilhenny

Hi Christine,
The Beachcruiser is basically a two person show. We do this for the love of the motorcycle and the people who have the same passion we do. We do not make money doing this and amazingly we are international with many thousands of visitors each month.
We encourage anyone who has something to say to send it to us. If you attend an event or want to write an article for this publication we will be honored to post it. The same for any relevant photos you might like to send.
Welcome to the Beachcruiser! We hope you come back often and contribute.
