Ahhhhhh..... it's finally football season!!!! I love football season, and I am a huge BUCS fan! I would really love to do a biker tail gate party before a game and see if we can get a whole biker section or at least a few rows at a game this year. If anyone has connections for making this happen please contact me! I will be working on it from my side also! August was probably the busiest month of my life in the past few years. The beginning of the month started with a road trip with Dew and Charlie to STURGIS!!!! The buffalo Chip asked Full Throttle to host two bike shows at their location.

We weren't sure how it was going to turn out, but both show's were a huge success and we have already been asked to come back next year!!! We also drove there, yep, 36 hours straight, each way! After we returned back home we were here for about 5 days then headed to the Ohio Motorcycle Expo in Columbus. This was a good event where we learned a lot and are in discussions for doing it again next year, and maybe more to come!

The start of football season also means we are starting to gear up for our annual Florida Motorcycle Expo and Bike Builder Invitational January 22nd - 24th 2016. Did you know that we host the largest cash and prize bike show in the USA at our show for the Bike Builder Invitational!? We give away over $20,000 in cash and prizes including $10,000 to our best in show with a $5,000 check and a super bowl style ring worth an est. $5,000. If you are looking to be a vendor or enter your bike in the show please contact us at our offices at 727-9354875. This looks like some of the best bands we have ever set up for the weekend including the band METAL with special guest LITA FORD!!!! Give us good weather (fingers crossed) and we should have one of the biggest parties of the year!!!

Full Throttle will be hosting a ton of great events coming up in the next few months. September is the Quail Hollow Biker Bash on Sept. 6th This place has a huge pool that they welcome the bikers to jump in, great food and a fun atmosphere. September 12th we will be part of the Jason Burnett Memorial USO Benefit Ride at Orlando Harley-Davidson South. We will also be doing the annual Phil Peterson's Key West Poker Run on Sept. 17 - 20th! There are a ton of other great rides and event in September so be sure to look at our cruisin' calendar on page 10-11 for more info.

October is going to be awesome!!!! First we start with Plant City Bike Fest on the first saturday Oct. 3rd, this has taken a little break but is going to be huge! The next weekend is COTEE RIVER BIKE FEST this is on our cover this month! this is the second year back after taking a year off and it has grown by leaps and bounds! Sims park is going through a facelift so it will be a little hectic but I think the party is going to be huge! Don't forget to come out Friday night and see the unveil of the first ever custom bagger build for Attorney Fran Haasch and Full Throttle Magazine!

We got together with Low Life Industries and Eric Warren to put together a 30" front wheel bagger that is going to knock your socks off! the unveil will be Friday night in Sims Park before Greg Billings Band!

Happy birthday to everyone with a birthday in September, never forget September 11th, and be nice, be kind, be happy and come see me on Wed. night as I am the new host of the largest bike night in the Southeast at Quaker steak and Lube in Clearwater. We have a lot of changes coming to bike night to make it fun and fresh again! Have a great month and don't drink and ride and I'll see you soon! STRAWBERRIES!!! xoxo

Hello again Michelle Osborne here. I have worked as a financial advisor over the years helping people achieve greater income to fulfill their dreams. I’ve had clients have come to me confused and lost, not knowing where their money is or what it is earning. I’ve been able to simplify their financial picture and give them more income. Most people do not realize the risks in the markets or low paying instruments such as bank CD’s. Even with savings accounts you are losing money everyday.

If you’ve been using savings, investments or retirement accounts to live off or make major purchases we need to talk. I have been able to show people the use of leverage to increase their income. Most people are unaware of their options and what’s available to make their lives easier. You’ve worked too hard to earn what you have. Let me show you how to make the most of your money.

As you all know I'm pretty much disabled and can't get around much anymore., but I guess my friend Tim thought it was funny to bring me to a club to dance even though I was in a wheelchair.

I haven't been around in a long time but I didn't see much dancing going on!!! It looked like people having sex with their clothes on to me!

There is a lot that goes on in October, Biketoberfest being one of many. Also, I will be looking for a girl dressed as Elvira.

What a hell of a ride the month of August was for us here at Full Throttle magazine. The month started out with Chief Cup Cake Tony, Dew and I set out for a long road trip the Black Hills Rally in Sturgis SD at the world famous Buffalo Chip. The first night we was there we was treated to an amazing concert by Alice Copper. Then we had 2 bike ride in bike shows at Buffalo Chip. The bike was off the chain. Then after a good ole wet SD rainy night we drove back to Florida just in time to wash our dirty smelly ass clothes and head for Columbus OH for the 1st Annual Ohio Motorcycle Expo. The whole Full Throttle Crew was there and we had a great event.

Weather was perfect the whole weekend and the bands rock the field like there was no tomorrow.

October will be another full month for me but one special event will take place on October 4th. The 2nd Annual Give Mia Heart Ride. We had a great ride last year and that night little Mia got the call the family was so desperate to get. Mia got her new heart and she is doing fine. She will be attending the event and so come on out and meet Mia. Also make your plans to join me again at Boardwalk Beach Resort in Panama City Fl October 21st to 25th for the Thunder Beach Autumn Rally. See add in this month Full Throttle Magazine and make your reservations today.

Will that's it for the back yard. Remember folks. Always keep your stick on the ice. Ride safe.

Hey EVERYWHERE EDDY here and wow does time fly! This is my sixth month in FULL THROTTLE Magazine and it’s been awesome to say the least.

What a month I had traveling around this great country of ours stopping at 14 Harley dealers to get my Poker Chips, and getting back to Sturgis, for the 75th Rally. While there I got to attend the wedding of my Clearwater friends Mr. and Mrs. Joe Pep Gonzalez in Lead, SD. I made it to Hulett, WY for ‘No Panty Wednesday,’ also saw my Sarasota Buddy Joe Gleba in Belle Fourche, SD, and along the way I heard some great music. Alice Cooper at the Buffalo Chip, Jasmine Cain right in Sturgis, her home town. I also went to the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee where I got to see the Bobby Friss band with my good buddy Leroy Myers sitting in on drums!

From there I headed to Indianapolis and spent time in Speedway City with my good friends Celeste and Leo and had a great dinner at Dawson’s, a Speedway institution! I just had to stop at the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg TN, which was worth every drop of ‘Jack’ that I got to sample! Once back in FL I attended a fundraiser for Steve Chamberland’s 50 Legs and went to the High Octane 5th Anniversary blowout in Homosassa!

Now I’m looking forward to the next few months and the Fall events that I’ll be attending. Look for me and say hi and remember…Keep Those Knees to the Breeze and as always Ride Safe!

This month I had the pleasure of interviewing the one and only MARK DAVERN TATTOO (941764-7225). IF the name DAVERN sounds familiar, it’s because his son is WESTON DAVERN OF WESTON DAVERN’S CHOP SHOP (941-759-0100)!

But I have an ulterior motive in this interview: My husband (Eddie) and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary this month (August). In celebrating of this occasion, I wanted to surprise him with getting his chopper the way he envisioned it.

SO, I had Eddie, MARK DAVERN AND WESTON to do the honors. This is what they came up with…

14. Tell me about your family? Wife (Heather) – helps run the studio; Son (Weston) – has his own motorcycle shop in Venice, FL WESTON DAVERN CHOP SHOP (941-759-0100; Daughter & 3 grandchildren 15.

32. What is the future of tattoo industry? It is bright so long as we don’t get regulated to death!

33. What is your greatest achievement? Building my own home – years ago when I was in Western NY. 34. What are your biggest regrets? Don’t really have any…

Huge tribal sleeves, full old skool sleeve, Full ocean scene back piece, women w/ peacock cloak, Flamenco dance paintings.

38. What’s the most common mistake new tattoo artists make? Poor placement and crowded detail.

39. If you were starting over right now, what would you do differently? Nothing!

40. What made you decide to transfer from tattooing to art on bikes? I’ve been a tattoo artist since 1978. And that was my main form of income. I was a wood sculptor (my hobby). Then we moved to FL. At that time, tattooing wasn’t very popular. A biker friend of mine said, “Why don’t you try airbrushing because no one around here does it! So I started airbrushing in 1997! (Which also helped my tattoo shop because bikers wanted tattoos while they were getting their bikes airbrushed.

So, if you’re looking for some awesome artwork or are in need of some customization, look no further than MARK DAVERN TATTOO (941-7647226) OR WESTON DAVERN’S CHOP SHOP (941759-0100)! ***** Til next issue, Nancy p. FULL THROTTLE rep RIDE SAFE AND RIDE WHENEVER YOU CAN!!!

Full Throttle Article 2.0

Hello readers. I wanted to give an update to everyone following the Full Throttle Magazine/Fran Haasch Law Group bike build taking place here at Low Life Industries. I know it seems like 3 months would be plenty of time to complete a build out, but like every custom build out there are tons of delays caused by parts not coming in on schedule and midstream design changes. With that said, it’s been a full time job trying to keep this build on schedule for the unveil at Cotee River Bike Fest on October 9th, 2015.

The first task at hand was finding a bike that fit our needs and at a price that allowed us to maximize the budget. We ended up locating a wrecked 2012 Harley Street Glide which at first glance looked rough. Luckily, all of the damage was cosmetic and since we were replacing all of the parts on the bike anyway it gave us a great starting point.

Once we got to the shop, we completely stripped the bike down. The first step was to rake the frame in order to accept the SMT Machining 30” wheel we selected for this bike and chose an American Suspension slip fit weld on neck for the job. Their neck kits replace the stock one, giving you the correct rake and trail needed to safely set up for the drastic change in wheel size. Their design also saves a ton of time since there is no need to rebuild the back bone of the frame.

Using their template, we marked the frame and cut off the stock neck.

The American Suspension neck slipped right into the frame and after confirming the measurements the new neck was welded into place. After the body work and paint were complete and new trees were installed, we needed to swap out the front forks to match the clean look of the new wheel coming in. We turned to American Suspension again and selected their inverted B-17S forks with hidden axle.

We also had decided to convert this Street Glide into a Road Glide, meaning we were going to need a new fairing mount. Luckily, American Suspension has come out with one that’s adjustable and relieved us from having to figure out the fairing rake on our own.

Now that we had decided to convert the bike to a Road Glide, we were going to need some additional body work. So, this is where I call one of the most talented guys I know in the business of body work customization, Justin O’Neil of InFocus Mobile Audio. He has been designing body work for a long time and has a huge focus on converting inner fairings to accept larger speaker applications.

Since he never thinks small, Justin suggested that we convert an inner fairing that normally houses twin 5.25” speakers to accept two speakers that

were almost 9” each.

Of course if he’s up for the challenge, who am I to argue with the logic of putting huge speakers on the bike. At this point I changed the subject before he realized the work he just got himself into and asked what else he was working on.

Our discussion pointed to the air ride system we were building. Mounting the fast up tank and compressor gets a little tricky due to their size.

Justin, being the genius innovator that he is, offered to send me a swing arm he converted to act as the air tank and had machined in ports for the fittings. At this point, I didn’t want to wear out my welcome as I will most likely need to come back to him for something else later. So, I accepted his gifts and was on my way.

At this point, started mocking the bike up using our Low Life Industries extended bags, rear fender and side covers, along with a stretched tank to go with the longer look of the bike. Our back end kit is extended 5” past stock. This is done to give a longer, lower look of the rear but without losing clearance of the bags when turning like some of the longer kits do.

At this point, Eric Warren has started laying some paint on the body work while we are waiting for the last of the parts. (Seriously, I cannot thank Eric Warren enough for his help! He’s been putting in long hours with us and we would be lost without him.) Even though it seems like a lot has been completed, there is still just as much still to go. We’ll catch you up to date as where we are next month, and look forward to seeing you all at Cottee River Bike Fest when we hand this thing over!!

The Extreme Motorcycle Makeover was a way for me to give back to the biker community for showing so much support for my business and being a huge part of the tremendous growth we experienced in the last 2 years. Over 200% increase in business.

The TV show was the frame work that I wanted to use and converting over to a motorcycle makeover was simple.

We started the EMM on May 15th 2015 and made the selection July 30th, 2015. I received over 70 entries, the response was great and friends were submitting friends they cared about. I was looking for someone that was active in their community and went out of their way tp help others selflessly. Someone that was an everyday rider and their bike was their primary means of transportation. Someone that financially was needing some help, but not a hand out. Military service was a bonus, not a requirement. The Makeover was design to restore their bike back to factory spec. Whatever it needed, we were going to do. A complete restoration.

I had a short list of about 3 entries and Ken White was selected. Ken is a kindhearted individual and Good Samaritan according to his friends. He is the guy who gets a call at 2:00am that my bike broke down and he comes and get you, without hesitation. Ken has a great sense of humor and he likes to make people laugh and have fun.

Ken is active with the Pinellas County Foster Children's Association and is a 15 year member of the Suncoast Brotherhood.Ken cared for his ailing Mother until she passed in 2013.

Ken served in the Air Force for 12 years over seas and 2 year in the reserves.

The 1998 Road King Classic is his primary source of transportation. It has 80K hard miles and because of his Diabetic Neuropathy, he has not been able to return to work and is living on a fixed VA retirement income, it's been hard to maintain the bike the way it should be, care for his mother and maintain his home.

Ken lives in a modest little home off Missouri and Lakeview in Clearwater, Fl.

I believed Ken was the best selection for the Extreme Makeover and we have delivered on our promise to restore his Harley Davidson to better than factory specs. He is very excited with the makeover outcome.

I was sponsoring the Patriot Express Florida Rally, August 15th to raise money for the Men & Women of the Armed Forces and their Families (We raised over $12,000) and I wanted to unveil the Makeover Bike at the event. It gave us 12 days to complete this build. Paint, Powdercoat, Engine Rebuild, everything was replaced.

Adam Bergman and myself were up until 3:00am Friday the 14th, attaching the final parts needed to have the bike ready for the next day unveiling. Adam & I had to ride in our poker run Saturday, so the bike had to be finished before, Wow it was very close, but by His grace it turnout amazing.

She is Beautiful. A Very Nice Ride...............
