On April 12th, just a couple of weeks ago, Citrus Height Motorsports (formerly Nor Cal Choppers) held a customer appreciation open house in Citrus Heights, just minutes away from California’s state capitol. The event featured live music, a motorcycle stunt show, tons of vendors and great deals on parts, accessories and even choppers and bobbers.
 
The weather could not have been better. The parking lot was full of riders and families enjoying the sun and the entertainment. It was great to see the town come together and support this family run business. With that said, I would encourage anyone in the area to go and check out the shop. 
 
After the event, the ownership changed hands. The new owners are as great as the old ones and will be adding additional services, apparel and accessories and even more bikes. Right now, Citrus Heights Motorsports sells American Ironhorse, the VERY popular BMC Choppers and a couple others. More manufactures will be added this year so if you want a one stop shop to check out production choppers, this is a great shop to start with. They also have a good selection of used bikes from Harleys to customs and I even saw a cool Moto Guzzi in the corner of the showroom.
 
I want to say a special thanks to those that made the event a huge success. Sacramento Sun Rooms was a huge sponsor. The owner is a biker and loves to support local businesses and is always down for a good time (www.sacsunrooms.com). 
 
Stepchild, local music legends, came and showed their support too. All of the members of Stepchild are riders and are frequently seen at Bay Area biker events. To hear more from Stepchild or to book them, check ‘em out at www.myspace.com/stepchildtheband. 
 
Lastly, beside the myriad of vendors, I want to say thanks to the Mid Cal Stunners. The Mid Cal Stunners is a team of professional stunt riders that travel the U.S. competing in top competitions (Star Boyz Stunt Fest, Stunt Wars, XDL, etc.) and off the hook stunt shows. From Sac-Town California, Nic-Nac, JMO, Sick-Rick, Joe Dirt, Jakota, & Levi put together one hell of a show. From technical wheelies to burn outs that will amaze you, Mid Cal Stunners is the team that can make any type of event fun. These boys shredded up the asphalt and went through many tires doing radical stunts in a small confined area. I have seen a lot of stunt riders but these guys are really entertaining. Anyone putting on an event, I would recommend contacting them as part of the entertainment. To book a stunt show call Nick Gray 916-534-2886 or e-mail at midcalstunners@yahoo.com.
 
That’s all for me. Please check out all the photos. Photos are from Nikki B.
