Governor’s stay at home orders and phased re-opening and we are still here! This is issue # 264 of The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine. Have we felt the effects of all of the above crisis? Sure, just like everyone else, we have had to make adjustments, but we are still here! Many of the businesses that bikers frequent like bars and restaurants have been forced to remain closed and many annual events have been cancelled or postponed. All of this has had an effect on all of us. One of the events that was cancelled was The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine bike night that was scheduled for Tuesday, June 16th. However, it was rainy and not one of the other calamities that caused it. We are usually optimistic and proponents of the theory that the show must go on, but this one was a no brainer. It rained on Monday and as we looked toward the sky on Tuesday, it just continued to rain hard and steady all day, so with confidence that it was the right call, we pulled the plug on the evening’s festivities. Just like other events that have been cancelled, we picked another date and have rescheduled The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine bike night for Tuesday, August 11th from 6-9 pm here at the Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine headquarters in Jamestown, NC. We’ll be celebrating 22 years in business so see the ad in this issue and make plans to come share an evening with friends on our journey back to normal. Until then, I hope you have many sunny days to “social distance” on your motorcycle. As usual, there are other events going on, too. Check out the Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine Cruisin’ Calendar for the most extensive list of motorcycle events on the east coast.
