All of us here at Garage-Girls want to thank everyone for submitting their stories for the Makeover, it was tough for us to narrow down to the finalists, we even had a tie so we had to have 4 finalists instead of 3. Out of those 4 with just under 200,000 votes the two winners were chosen, runner up Kristin Buckely of Red Lion PA and grand prize winner Victoria Kriner-Aversano, of Myerstown PA. As the grand prize winner Victoria not only received personal gear, she got hooked up with parts for her ride as well.
We were so happy to do this event at Carlisle Summer Bikefest, our favorite weekend motorcycle rally. Carlisle has so much to offer with factory demo rides, FMX stunt teams performing, the Star Boys displaying extreme riding talent,live bands, eating contests, custom builders, the Rat-Rod revival show, not to mention the vendors and swap meet area. This year Carlisle added to all of that by inviting the Disc-connected K-9's world champion Frisbee dogs, they were awesome, and of course The Garage-Girls Ultimate Biker Makeover..... what a weekend at Carlisle Summer Bike Fest!
This Ultimate Biker Makeover sponsored by GEICO was pretty special for us to put on, having been involved with other bike events that usually support larger charity's and organizations, we wanted to do something where we could help out the average joe or "Jill" in this case! It's an incredible feeling to be able to watch the faces on the people who you just helped out, it's pretty cool to see the effects it has, to watch the smiles grow.
