Inside: New Location....Products and Pricing....Track Day Schedule
I hope this email finds you all doing well and starting to shake off the
winter blahs. I'm looking forward to a great summer riding season up here on
Angeles Crest and want to share with you the latest news at
Cal-Sportbike!
NEW STORE LOCATION
On Easter weekend we're moving a whole 200' up the street to our new
showroom at 1255 Apple Street (lower level). This is just up at the top of
the hill where we're excited to have our own FLAT 9-space parking lot for
our riders. Of course we will have space blocked off for bikes-only on
Sundays during the summer season. And since our new showroom is over 1100 sf
we will have an indoor TV viewing area. We hope to start (provided our
satellite move goes according to plan) showing the MotoGP races via SpeedTV
starting with the April 17th opening round at Phakisa in Africa. Come join
us and tell your friends!
For the opening round viewing, we'll have food and drinks for our riders,
along with several giveaways of our new ultra cool Cal-Sportbike T-shirts
and more!
NEW PRODUCT LINES & PRICING ADVANTAGES
We've seen some absolutely phenomenal growth over the past few months
(THANK YOU ALL!!) and have been bringing on new product lines as demand
necessitates. Here are some things we think you'll find of interest...
Cal-Sportbike Shop T-shirts: We now have some ultra-cool 4-color shirts for sale. These Hanes pre-shrunk beefy-T shirts, will sell for $15.99 if bought alone, or only half price when included on any order totaling over $100!

Shoei: We have added their entire line of street helmets, and I plan on
carrying a selection of some of them in the shop as well as we grow our
inventory. While advertised prices must be at MAP (Minimum Advertised Price)
we are happy to give phone quotes on request for our sponsored forum member price on this product line.

Arata & Sato: We are happy to be a new dealer for these two fine brands. A
couple of the best sounding and lightest full Titanium systems I've seen,
the quality of workmanship is incredible on not only their pipes but also
their rearsets. And any purchase of either Arata or Sato full systems paired
with a PCIII-usb purchase will come with a map pre-loaded for your bike and special pricing on the PC unit!

Power Commanders: We have connected with a new source for these, which has
allowed us to bring our "every day" price down to just $263.99 for a PCIII
or $326 for a PCIII-R.

Alpinestars: Many of you have recently participated in our group buys on
various web forums we sponsor. Cal-Sportbike is proud to be one of
Alpinestars' fastest growing dealers in the country, and we're committed to
keeping prices highly competitive for our riders. Feel free to email or call
for a price quote on our deals on Alpinestars gear; leathers, jackets,
pants, gloves, boots (dirt and street), and casual apparel!
Cheetah Bodywork: The feedback from our riders on Cheetah has been
fantastic! Their product holds a very comfortable niche in the mid-level of
the pricing range, holds up very well and resists spider cracking, is
primered and ready to paint, and in most cases comes predrilled for you. At
an average 8lbs/set, it's only half the weight of stock in most cases!

Ohlins: We're happy to be one of Ohlins newest preferred dealers, with
special pricing that we can pass on to our riders, including adding a free
respringing service for our riders. We now have some of the best Ohlins
prices in the industry!

Bikestyle UK Undertails: Cal-Sportbike is pleased to be the exclusive
importer of these high-end LED undertails. We're working with them to
develop the integrator system to make this the cleanest ones around!

Speedo Healer: These have been selling like crazy, and they have just
brought out not only a Honda plug & play version but are shortly releasing a
new 2.0 upgrade to the standard version which includes a nifty "top speed
memory" feature and a smaller/neater design. A Suzuki plug & play version is
next in the works. The new 2.0 units are going to be $84.99 and are due for
release soon! We'll be moving the rest of the current units at a discounted price with free domestic ground shipping!

Corse Meccanica Titanium Fasteners: Do you know what a bucket full of
bolts weighs? Neither do I...but with Titanium weighing in at a whole lot
less, you can drop quite a bit of weight with good Titanium fasteners!

Fasteners
Bridgestone BT002 DOT Race Tires: It's now here...a new DOT race radial
derived from MotoGP technology. Flatter and larger crown radius provides
smoother turn-in, and is comparable to H2, D208GP, Supercorsa, and Rennsport
race tires. This tire is an OUTSTANDING choice to get a DOT race tire for
the price of most street tires!! (NOT SUGGESTED FOR STREET USE) From
$259/set for 120F/180R!

I look forward each day to spending time talking with our riders!
