I hope everyone can stop for a moment, and appreciate not only the investment but also the heart and soul that Michael put into the Full Throttle Saloon. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, The Badlands, and the Full Throttle Saloon when visiting South Dakota.
The support from the local community and those across the globe has been humbling.” Ballard’s best friend, and business partner Jesse James Dupree shares, “Michael created not just a bar but a destination point. To everyone who made the Full Throttle become the special destination we all came to love, simply thank you. As our plans come together, they will be shared but as for today Angie and I are devastated. Right now I have to process what has happened and then figure out the future. Because of that large financial investment I am not in a position to just start rebuilding today. Over the last several years, I’ve taken the success of the Full Throttle and made a significant investment in rebuilding my hometown of Trimble, Tennessee (where the Full Throttle S’loonshine distillery is based). We created a destination that resonated with working class America, and became over time a landmark for this great town which is Sturgis. Walking the grounds following this tragedy is simply devastating. It's a real cool thing.Over the last two decades, The Full Throttle Saloon has been the epicenter of my life. It's common to see a 21-year-old guy sitting and having a beer with another guy old enough to be his granddad, and they both have riding motorcycles in common. You have the dance club for young guys or the country club for the older fellas. You get such a range of people coming in. So what makes the Full Throttle different from other bars? It's not at all trashy it's totally classy. Angie has this real sculpted behind (Life's all about the Ass) and the bikers love it, so she'll take pictures with her sitting on their heads. She also runs Angieland, which is this special bar with a waist-high deck.
My wife Angie helps me all around my life, 360 degrees.
The beer companies know by now that there are so many motorcycles clogging the roads, they can't send trucks during the day, so they come after 3:00 AM, when the bars have closed. We get two tractor trailers full of beer delivered every night of the rally. Everyone is welcome, but it's well known that factory workers, construction workers and any kind of guy who busts his ass and saves his money all year is gonna be welcome at the Throttle. The Full Throttle is the number one blue collar biker bar in the United States. For the past ten years, Ballard, owner of the World's Largest Biker Bar, the Full Throttle Saloon, has evolved, developed, fine tuned, operated, and driven himself non-stop. One Man - One Vision: To Create the World's Largest Biker BarĪnd he's done it.
