Jody Perewitz: First woman to run 200+ mph on an American V-twin

With no prior experience on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats, Team J'Witz and
throttle master Jody Perewitz stunned enthusiasts and teams from around the
globe at the 2011 BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials.

On Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2011 Jody and Team J'witz set a land speed record of
188.911 mph. Previously at the Loring Timing Association event in Maine, Jody
made another world record pass at 164 mph. Changes to the motorcycle were made
before they set out to Bonneville, these included mounting a partial
streamline body. This body allowed Jody and the motorcycle to be more
aerodynamic with subsequent increases in speed.

This was only one of two goals set out by Team J'Witz. They wanted to set a
land speed record as well as go over 200 mph. Land speed records are not
separated by male and female. Motorcycles are built for certain classes
regardless of the gender of the rider. Wednesday Sept. 1, Jody took her bike
to the next goal. She made a pass at 203.111 mph. This speed made Jody the
first woman in history to go over 200 mph on an American V-twin.
