Well, here we are in the summertime in Florida and all we can say is HOT, HOT, HOT and MUGGY! But you gotta love it! We have a 12 month riding season and some states still have snow! I am really looking forward to Summer this year as we have some great events that Florida Full Throttle will be part of. If you want more info on what we are doing and where we are at you can always look at our cruisin' calendar both in this magazine and online. We also post tons of pictures and great things we find on our Facebook page every day! Please go like our page at facebook.com/FLFTmag May was a busy month for us here at Full Throttle Magazine. The first weekend in June we had Plant City Bike Fest, The Quaker Steak and Lube customer appreciation party and our annual Tucka-buck poker run. These were all great events with a lot of people at each one! The next weekend we had the Full Throttle 5 bridge poker run, Mutt's Motorcycles Music and More, Mad beach Bike Fest and the Bike Day at the Threshers baseball game! Then we had the Memorial Day Biker Bash at Quail Hollow and that had a great turn out! People were in the pool and Soul Circus Cowboys were rockin' the stage all day! We would like to thank everyone who came out to all these great events! On June 13th we will be hosting our annual SOAKED AND SORE ASS POKER RUN. This year we are going to Panama City Beach and starting in Palm Harbor. This is a 300+ mile poker run one way with 7 card stops along the way. Registration is $35 for a single rider or $60 for a couple. Everyone who buys a poker hand will get a patch, t-shirt and completion certificate at the end of the run! You must complete the run to get all the goodies, it's kind of a rite of passage. Most people who go on the sore ass runs talk about them all year long. We completely booked our first hotel so now we have rooms available at a second hotel (Days Inn, see ad for phone number and address) our stops this year are: Palm Harbor, Homosassa, Chiefland, Perry, Panacea, Apalachicola, and Panama City Beach. Our end party will be at Sharkey's Restaurant in Panama City Beach. This is the first time we have duplicated the same ride on the sore ass. We did this same ride a few years back and everyone loved it. If you are going on the ride, don't forget the time change after Apalachicola!!! They are an hour behind us so the last stop and awards party is in Central Time. If you have an event, or would like your business seen by the motorcycle community in the state of Florida, Full Throttle is your one stop shop for all your advertising needs. We can design and ad for you, place it in our magazine, promote it on our facebook page (over 102,000 likes and GROWING), we can print you flyers and banners for your event, hand them out at events we are set up at, emcee your event, help book band, put on biker games, host a bike show and so much more. We have great advertisisng packages that get you on everything we do for one low fee. For instance..... We are offering a Summer Advertising Special - 3 months Full Page Ad in the magazine, your ads posted on our facebook page and on our weekly e-mail blast, 5,000 1/4 postcard flyers, and we can design the ads for you for FREE for $500 per month ($1,500 total for three months) Where else can you get all of that for one low price? that's Why Full Throttle should be your number one choice for advertising!!!! I would like to wish my brother (Navy Chief ) Paul M. Cianci an happy birthday and my youngest daughter, Ashlynn Cianci and very special and happy 10th birthday, Love ya TTMAB! I would also like to take this time to wish all of you fathers out there a Happy Father's Day, especially to my dad PAC, my grandfather PFC, and my brother PMC and my father-in-law Paul Eastman! Have a great month, be happy and enjoy life, don't drink and ride and I'll see you soon!

Hi All, Just sitting down to share with you the new to me truck, my old truck needed to be retired. So I went to Sun Toyota and talked to my friend Bob Butler, he found me a truck that I liked at a good price!! So if you are looking for a new or use vehicle talk to Bob Butler - (727) 505-9307 or (727) 842-9735 and make sure you tell him I sent you! The days are getting hotter so make sure you are drinking a lot of water when out at the upcoming events or even if you are just on a ride. If you missed some of the events in May this is a quick recap of a couple we were at - Plant City is back, they will have their bike event quarterly with a lot more vendors and some good bands. The Mutt’s, Motorcycles, Music & More at Dog’s Lovers in Tarpon Springs on 19 - a great event and we spent the day sharing our booth with Madisin from Fran Haasch's office and her 4 legged friend Riley. On a personal non motorcycle event - we took our granddaughter to see Disney on Ice Frozen - Again, thanks to the friend who helped us with some great seats, she loved every minute of it!! The mouth of June brings the 18th annual Soaked and Sore Ass Poker Run June 13 & 14 - as you have seen the ads we are headed to Panama City Beach - if you haven't gotten your room yet check this month's ad for rooms with a discount. The guys from the office will be heading up to Ohio to measure, plan out, talk to vendors and meet with Quaker Steak & Lube in Columbus in preparation for the 1st QSL Ohio Bike Builder Invitational in August. We are going to head out Sunday from Panama City Beach...it sure beats going all the way back home and leaving early the next morning and it gives us an extra day to find more sponsors. See ya in Panama City Beach till next month Live life to the fullest and party your a$$ off Dew

Greetings bikers! Hope everyone's summer is going good. The weather is heating up and bikes are everywhere so ride safe and always look both ways. May was a great month here in the back yard. We had our Full Throttle 5 Bridges Run, American Legion Riders Poker Run and our Tuck a Buck poker run. Thank you to all the bikers who came out to support these great events. In June we have our Soaked and Sore Ass Run to Panama City Beach. This will be a great ride up the west coast of Florida into the panhandle, so see the add in this month's Full Throttle and make your reservations today. May kicked off with the Thunder Beach Spring Rally up in Panama City Beach. Again I was at

44

the Boardwalk Beach Resort. I meet lots of old friends that made the trip up and loads of new friends from all around this great country. The Thunder Beach Fall Rally will be held October 21st to the 25th. Again I will be hosting the Boardwalk Beach Resort so be sure to make your reservations soon to be there. Well, that's all from the Back Yard. Ride safe and shut the gate on the way out so the dogs don't get out. Charlie. FT

I was sitting on my porch drinking a nice cold iced tea and watching my wife mow the lawn when my bitchy neighbor came storming over. She started yelling at me and saying that I should be hung.

This month I had the pleasure of interviewing MOTORWORKS BREWING, DENISE TSCHIDA Co-Founder/President 1014 – 9th STREET, WEST BRADENTON, FL 34205 941-567-6218 E-mail: Info@MotorworksBrewing. com www.MotorworksBrewing.com Opened business when? January 22, 2014 FACEBOOK: /Motor-

worksBrewing INSTAGRAM: @MotorworksBrewing In search of the perfect building to house a craft brewery, Denise and Frank Tschida (pronounced Cheetah, like the big cat!) looked in several major cities across Florida. They couldn’t believe it when they discovered the huge 1923 Brick and Concrete Block building for sale on 9th Street West in Bradenton. With Racing and the love of “Go-Fast” in their roots, it was even more ironic to discover the huge concrete ramp that was used when the building housed a Chevrolet and Hudson Car Dealership in the late 40’s – 50’s. (Note the antique photo of Miss Palmetto and a Hudson Auto taken in the very building that now houses Motorworks Brewing!) “Some things in life are meant to be”, said Denise, “and this property was a special find”. Thus MOTORWORKS BREWING had found its home in Florida. Just 3 blocks from the center of downtown Bradenton and McKechnie Field, Spring Training home of the Pittsburg Pirates, their 2-acre site is perfect for large groups, and events. The outdoor beer garden, alone, is 12,000 sq ft with Oak Trees over 200 years old. The Tschida’s put in two regulation Bocce Ball Courts (Italian Lawn Bowling), a dozen Cornhole sets, and a true professional 3-hole Putting Green with the putters and balls to go with it. Motorcycle Parking is no problem, said Denise, as we purposefully poured 85 feet of concrete parking in front of our beer garden for bikers and exotic car owners to see their rides while they relax outdoors. In addition, we have our main parking lot adjacent to the front door, another lot behind the corner building, and two more across the street from the Taproom/Bar. Enough about the building, it’s all about the beer! It is no wonder why one of their first beer medals was for their “V Twin”,

52

a Vienna Lager. Great name and a great beer – just ask around at the Great American Beer Festival in Colorado, the largest beer festival/ competition in the world, where they took home a medal out of 5,553 total entries. Speaking of medals, Motorworks Brewing is rockin’ ... they’ve won 8 medals in National Beer Competitions (GABF, BEER US OPEN, Draft Magazine) as well as State Beer Medals in their first year of brewing. And on the day of this interview, they won a bronze medal in a national competition for their Beer Can Design on their Indy IPA coming out in stores within 3 weeks. Beer Production is in full swing at Motorworks Brewing. I took the tour of their amazing 27,000 sq foot two-story brewing, fermenting, and canning areas for $10 that including a pint of beer or beverage for the walk-about. Note the incredibly tall 45-foot, 2,000 bushel Grain Silo, yes, inside city limits! Their boiler is over 5,000 pounds with BTU’s too great to count. The 4” water lines ensure all operations of the brewery carry-on simultaneously. The brewers are seasoned veterans with decades of brewing experience under their belts. Some of the brewers also love to ride. In fact one of their brewers, Jose Martinez, road from San Diego to Bradenton over the course of 3 days when he was invited to join the Motorworks Brewing Team. Motorworks beers are put through a reverse osmosis system, which allows them to create water profiles for each individual beer. With over 40+ styles of beer under their belt, their head brewer, Bob Haa, has created a beer for literally everyone. If you are feeling adventurous, try the 3rd Coast Oyster Stout or the 2 Stroke Double IPA (both on tap now). If you are looking for something a little less hoppy or less dark, try their Cruiser Kolsch-style or their award winning V Twin Lager, both of which are perfect for lounging in the Beer Garden after a hot ride. No matter what kind of mood you are in Motorworks has 30 beers on tap, and they are sure to find you the perfect fit. If beer isn’t your thing, that’s okay. Denise does hope that everyone that comes into Motorworks will sample at least one beer. “You never know”, she said, “you just might find a beer you love”. But if they can’t find a beer to please your palate Motorworks also offers a full wine and liquor bar. It is uncommon for a Brewery’s Taproom to offer liquor but Denise wanted to be inclusive not exclusive.

Continued From Page 52 While at Motorworks, if hunger strikes, they have you covered. Motorworks always has food available. They have a rotation of food trucks that park on their property and are there to provide the perfect food pairing to whatever beer you choose. The friendly and knowledgeable bar staff will add whatever food you want directly to your tab, so you won’t have to pay two bills, and they will serve it straight to your table. No fuss, no muss. It felt like a full restaurant experience with a constantly changing kitchen (Trucks/local Restaurants).Rotational beer and food items makes every visit to Motorworks a truly unique experience and adventure. It is Motorworks goal to provide the entire state of Florida with high quality, award winning products. Currently, Motorworks is distributed in ž of the state, that is, as far east as Daytona and as far South as Key West. They anticipate the rest of the state to go live by the end of 2015. In the very near future Motorworks Brewing will fire up their canning line and when MOTORWORKS BREWING releases their cans, you will be able to enjoy a V TWIN Lager or INDY IPA while at home, at a tailgate, on the boat or wherever life takes you!

So, if you are looking for somewhere to ride, set out for Motorworks Brewing, Sunday-Thursday 11am-Midnight and Friday & Saturday 11am-2am. They are open 365 days a year. When you get there enjoy a craft beer on the deck under the 200 year old oak tree, or try your hand at cornhole or bocce ball. You will be amazed at the craftsmanship that goes in to each glass of beer they pour. Motorworks Brewing is driven to excellence, and that is evident. *****
