JODY PEREWITZ

THE FASTEST WOMAN ON TWO WHEELS

Michael Lichter

Jody was back in the race. “If it had been like 30 seconds later, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. But I caught up with the pack and passed them one by one, including two-time sons of Speed winner Ken Curtis.”

Jody took the victory and sealed the first win for an Indian at Sons of Speed, etching her name in yet another record book. Never one to rest on her laurels, Jody Perewitz is about to set out on the Motorcycle Cannonball antique race from Michigan to Texas. In 2018 she, along with two other women riders, became the first females to complete all the miles. She then tried her hand at the Cross Country Chase in September 2019 also making all the miles. For the 2020 Motorcycle Cannonball she will be riding a 1912 Harley-Davidson Single.

You can see why we chose Jody Perewitz as this issue’s Biker Legend here in Born To Ride.

“So I steered the powerless bike to the side of the track and sat there. The pace bike caught up to me and they all went by.”
