The Aerosmith Bike In Carlisle
....Aerosmith fanatic (Drew) Donnelly decided that he needed to have a custom bike to traverse the Minnesota timbers during the short riding season they have up north. After all, if you only have a couple of months to enjoy the ride, it might as well be on something you enjoy riding. After looking through the various magazines, Drew decided that Dave Perewitz would be his builder of choice. Little did Donnelly know at the time that Perewitz had some history with Aerosmith himself. In fact Perewitz and guitarist Brad Whitford had appeared on a TV show and became fast friends. Their love for motorcycles and close proximity as neighbors led to Perewitz building a bike for Whitford. When Donnelly decided to mate his two great loves motorcycles and Aerosmith, Perewitz was able to use his contacts to get permission from the band and the build was on.
Once the bike was painted, Keith Hanson added the fantastic portraits which were signed by all five band members. Since the bike has been finished, both Steven Tyler and Brad Whitford have ridden the bike at various times and the bike has made a number of appearances at Aerosmith concerts. In fact, Steven Tyler has offered Donnelly a princely sum for the machine but Drew so far, has declined....
