TruTV has had an eye full of Sturgis Rally fun and decided to make a show featuring Micheal Ballards Full Throttle Saloon. This will be a One-Hour Series Premiering Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 10 p.m. (ET) TruTV Goes Behind the Scenes at Michael Ballard’s Biker bar The Full Throttle Saloon claiming the title of the worlds largest biker bar. http://www.trutv.com/index.html
The shows will detail the events and also the struggles of running this operation. It will detail the behind the scenes of running a operation that is 30 acres of tattoos, leather, alcohol, Harley Davidsons and the ladies and gentlemen that ride them. The Full Throttles set up includes indoor and outdoor bar, a famous burn out pit, numerous stages with live music, tattoo parlor, wresting ring, stores, vendors, cabins for rent, and parking for thousands of bikes.
What an operation! This is all planned for the two weeks of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
I wish Micheal the best as he has always been a friend and helpful to us. Micheal has donated a booth to our non profit organization and helped us with fundraisers for the Rapid City Club for Boys for many years. It will be interesting to see the behind the scenes of the Full Throttle Saloon!
Thanks to Mike, Angie and the Full Throttle crew for all of your support ! FTS rocks!
