Spring Fever Bash At Tank Town Tavern By: Mark “Stretch” Carlyle & Alice “Smiley” Harvey What a day at Tank Town Tavern! With over 1200 people and 600 bikes Tank Town Tavern proved it is a 1st class operation! A big thumbs up to Brandy, Angelo’s better half, who did an amazing job with all the preparations! Angelo, I have to say she is the glue that keeps it together! Angelo, your dream has come full circle! Kudos! You couldn’t have scripted a more beautiful day for the bash. Temps in the 70’s brought out 600+ bikes and countless cages that filled parking lots for a couple of blocks around the bar. If you didn’t make it, you’ll just have to checkout Tank Town’s Facebook as well as The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine’s web site (FullThrottleMagazine.com) to see all the pics! Angelo and Brandy had Tank Town Tavern ready to rock. Brandy had somehow managed to put together 4000 jello shots, most of which didn’t make it through the day! There were two outside beer tubs to compliment the outside bar and the door was

rolled up so you could access the main bar from outside, too! All stations were staffed with pretty bar tenders! Even with a huge crowd the spirits were flowing free and there was very little waiting The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine bike show ran from 12-3pm with two classes: People’s Choice and Editors Choice. We used can tabs, bottle caps, jello shot cups, and mixed drink stirring straws as votes. You could vote as many times as you wanted, just belly up to the bar and buy another drink to secure your vote! As the parking lot filled up, the bike show parking filled in as well! There were some real sweet rides to check out. With over 1200 people We had a little of everyand 600 bikes, Tank thing from drag bikes, bagTown Tavern proved gers, a Big Dog, Redneck it is a 1st class operaEngineering, a Panhead chopper, a Knucklehead tion. and all points in between. When 3pm rolled around we counted the votes and Don Angel’s 2010 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic was the People’s Choice Award winner. Don’s Heritage was a clean, classy ride with white walls, black spoke wheels, ape hangers, and a gun slinger seat all complimenting the glossy black paint job. It was well deserving the 127 votes it racked up. The next closest bike was Corey Harr’s 2010 CVO Street Glide that pulled in 100 votes. Congrats Don, thanks for entering your bike! The Editor’s Choice award was a tough choice. We walked up and down the row of bike show bikes and really had to get technical to choose a winner. When it came down to it.
