Charly Perethian really cares about windshields and fairings
and has dedicated his entire career to this field since graduating from Rhode
Island School of Design (Industrial Design) in 1972. The day after graduation
Charly was on his way to work for Craig Vetter where he eventually became
responsible for design, development,
testing, materials, quality and later wind tunnel design and use. Craig sold the
company in 1979, and in 1980, Charly started Rifle Fairing with four friends. In
1981, Craig Vetter started his famous motorcycle high mileage contests which
Charly saw as a great aerodynamic research project, getting 135 mpg (2nd place)
in 1981, on his XL250. And then getting more serious in 1982, Charly won 1st
overall with 282 mpg, and in 1983, (1st again) with 372 mpg at 50 mph. This
almost fully streamlined 185cc Yamaha that beat all the factory Honda, Suzuki
and Kawasaki entries can be seen on display at the Smithsonian's American
History Museum. Ongoing aero research in various racing projects continues
including Bub's assault on the motorcycle land speed record (more on this
later). In 1986, Charly started Parabellum to cater exclusively to riders of his
favorite street Bikes BMW (250,000 miles since 1975). Today you can try
any Parabellum windshield risk free for 30 days! We guarantee these work or your
money back!
