Motorcycle rodeo legend Ron Schwellinger of R&R Cycles, famous for putting together the Easyriders Rodeos, knows how to throw one helluva a rodeo party. He’s got all the fun and games prepared for a day you simply won’t believe. He brings his many years of experience to this first annual Motofest. There will be sled pulls and racing action as well as all the tried-and-true biker rodeo favorites such as the weenie bite, balloon toss and a whole lot more. We’re even bringing out the crazy Roscoe’s Outhouse Races, which are literally a crap load of fun!
Rooster’s Rod Shop is putting together a killer custom car and truck show. There’ll be a burnout pit, bar stool races, a ride-in chopper show. Cartel Baggers will melt your mind with some ear-splitting custom bagger stereos and Salty RV will be on hand with some amazing products that are ready to move. Top rodeo cowboys will win free tires from Metalsport Wheels and Vee Rubber. Mondo from Denver’s Choppers has an incredible surprise coming as does Steve and Ron from Paughco Motorcycle Parts.
