It was great seeing many of you at the 14th Annual Full Throttle Motorcycle Expo last month. The weather was perfect and we packed Quaker Steak & Lube with people! Our crowds were estimated between 28,000 and 30,000 people for the three days and if you were there Friday or Saturday night you know how crowded it was! Our band lineup was second-to-none! Wikkid jump started the crowd Friday night and Greg Billings filled the QS&L parking lot ... Friday is usually a slow day for the expo but not this year! Saturday Jenna Stone was the first act followed by Jeff Vitolo and the Quarter Mile Rebels. At 3pm things started jumpin’ as The Black Honkeys took the stage! That was followed by the Miss Full Throttle Pageant (wow!) and a fireworks show. The Blues Brothers (brought to us by Walker Ford and Power Stroke Diesel) closed the day and they were simply fantastic! Sunday’s lineup included Selective Memory and the Soul Circus Cowboys. We also gave away the Bike Builder Invitational Awards Sunday afternoon. All-in-all it was our best Expo ever and we are all ready starting to plan for 2014. Thanks to all our sponsors, vendors and all of you who attended. I also want to give a big “atta-boy” to my son who busted his butt planning this year’s Expo! Great job Tony! I would like to invite you to join us in Orlando on Saturday February 23 for Bike Night with the Orlando Magic! Ride to Orlando, purchase discount tickets and sit with the Full Throttle gang for the NBA game. There will be a bike show, giveaways and we will have a blast! See the ad inside this issue. Now’s the time to get ready for Bike Week (March 8 March 17). Contact us for our events and how you can get involved. Have a great month and don’t forget Valentine’s Day! I also want to send birthday wishes out to my wife Tracy - Happy Birthday Baby!

Well, I am writing this right after the 2013 Florida Motorcycle Expo has just ended and I have to say we threw one hell of a party! Thanks to EVERYONE who had a hand in helping make it such a huge success from the Mud Patrol to the waiters, waitresses and bartenders (like my beautiful wife TONYA) to all the volunteers and Full Throttle Staff. Thanks everyone, time to start planning the 2014 event! It's now February and that only means one thing..... Bike Week is next month! Bike Week is March 9th to the 17th. Full Throttle will be there all 10 days like last year in front of Boothill Saloon and out at the Boothill Saloon in Ormond Beach with Johnny and the gang from Strip Club Choppers! It's going to be a riot as usual! Be sure to stop by on the weekends and meet Miss Full Throttle (NIKKI RAE) and grab some of the great swag we will have for free on our tables! We have a few sponsorship opportunities left for anyone interested in getting involved with Full Throttle while at Bike Week... We stuff bags with our magazine, flyers and our sponsors info and hand them to the people walking by our booths. We are looking for a bag sponsor and anyone who wants to put your info in the bags. Contact me if you are interested 727-919-1743 or e-mail me at tonyc@floridafullthrottle.com. The price is $900 and we will give you a half page ad in the March Issue, print your 4x6 flyers for you and you can stand at our booth with us promoting your business. It really is a great deal! In February is the Magic Basketball game on February 23rd. For either $25 or $50 tickets you can get food before the game, great sets, a good time and much more. Check out our website and follow the link to buy tickets in advance. This is something new we are trying out and we think it will be a great time. Did you see Spice Boy on the cover? Special thanks to Jim Dohms for all he has done for Full Throttle and the great pictures he takes. I would like to wish my beautiful wife , Tonya, and my wonderful children a Happy Valentine's Day and I would also like to wish my Mom Mary in Ohio and my Step Mom Tracy here in Florida a Happy Birthday. Be safe and ride smart. See you at Quaker Steak and Lube bike night every Wed. night

THE BIGGEST YET! 2013 BIKE BUILDER INVITATIONAL & EXPO

Great ... Fantastic ... Outstanding ... Spectacular ... Amazing ... I could go on and on but you get the idea that

this year’s Full Throttle Motorcycle Expo was one hell of an event! The first person to thank is Mother Nature who gave us PERFECT weather ... not to hot, not to cold ... PERFECT! The crowds were estimated between 28,000 and 30,000 people for the weekend and if you were there Friday night for The Greg Billings Band or Saturday night for The Blues Brothers, you know every inch of concrete was filled with somebody having a good time! The Quaker Steak & Lube facility was packed with over 140 vendors. Parking was hard to find despite the act we rented both lots across the street and used every inch of space

possible. We will work on that problem for next year’s event! We want to thank everybody who took part in the expo ... sponsors, vendors, bands, bike builders, ride-in bike show contestants and everybody who attended. We took a million photos so find time to check them out www. FloridaFullThrottle.com! Thanks to Attorney Fran Haasch, Walker Ford, Jim’s Harley-Davidson, Florida’s Finest Bikini, Metro PCS, Doug Bishop State Farm Insurance, Central Marine, The Billiard Man, IMBBA, Pyrotecnico, Whirlwind Entertainment, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Jagermeister and QS&L for helping us put on this wonderful event. It keeps getting bigger and better every year and we are all ready making plans for 2014. Paul Allen

Busy, busy, busy! Yep, that’s how the Diva Angels roll! We went on our Annual New Year’s Day Ride to the Manatee Viewing Center in Apollo Beach with a group of 27 bikes and the weather was absolutely perfect! This past month we have also attended Thunder By the Bay and Gibtown Bike Fest as well as other rides. One non-riding event that is near and dear to our hearts was “The 2nd Annual Robin Head Shaving Event”. Our director Robin Williams was at it again, allowing us to shave her head in the name of charity. Thank you Robin for rockin’ your bald head! Well what can I say, the Full Throttle Bike Builders Expo was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Tony and his team put together the best expo in the state…as usual! We work this event because of the great camaraderie the FT staff, the QS&L staff and Fran Haasch show us and the many bikers who attend this amazing event. Way to go everyone, see ya’ at the next Expo! I would also like to congratulate our new 2013 officers. Hang on to your helmets ladies because you’re in for a wild but exhilarating ride, so enjoy it! For our outgoing officers, thank you for your hard work and service. A special thanks to our outgoing Director Diva Teresa for your leadership for the past two years and we look forward to your continued sisterhood. All proceeds go to Cassandra and her

5 year old daughter Chloe. She is still fighting for her life. Every little bit helps. All proceeds go to Cassandra and her 5 year old daughter Chloe. She is still fighting for her life.

All proceeds go to Cassandra and her 5 year old daughter Chloe. She is still fighting for her life. Every little bit helps. On a very serious note; one of our Diva sisters, Tammylyn’s daughter was in a horrible motorcycle accident and has severe head injuries. She is a young single mom with no insurance and can certainly use our help. There was a benefit concert held at Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill on January 18th and what a turnout! Also, Bill Church with Quaker Steak & Lube has set up a donation jar for Cassie as well. Although some monies have been raised, more is needed. You may donate in her name, Cassandra Andonian at any Wells Fargo Bank location, Bronze Touch Tanning in St. Petersburg, online at FundingChances. com and if you see a Diva, you can donate and we will make sure it gets to Cassie’s family. All proceeds go to Cassie and her 5 year old daughter Chloe. Please keep in mind that Cassie is still fighting for her life and every penny helps. Thanking you in advance….. The Diva Angels meet the second Tuesday of each month at Quaker Steak & Lube. Social starts at 6:00pm and meeting starts at 7:00pm. We only accept female members but we welcome friends, partners, husbands, etc. to join us in most activities.

WOW What a January we had in the back yard. We started 2013 off with a bang as I had the honor of M/Cing the Boot Hill Saloon New Years Bash on Main Street in Daytona. It was my first time getting to host the event and I hope it will become an annual thing for me. Jaded and Highway To Hell rang in the New Year hard and heavy. Then it was off to the monthly bike bash at Kahunas with The Ries Brothers teen band. We had a great turn out for the first bike night of the New Year. We ended the month with the Full Throttle Bike Builders Expo. Oh my, what a great event. Record crowds all three days, great live music all weekend and perfect weather. Be sure and check out Full Throttle for all the post event photos and recaps. Well that's all from the back yard. Ride safe bikers.

Hi All...Just sat down to write some thing down if you didn’t come out to the biggest three days of fun you missed it... We put on the BEST show for you So what is next March 3 SUNCOAST BROTHERHOOD PRESENTS OUR 23rd ANNUAL CHILI COOK-OFF EXTRAVAGANZA at the American Legion Post 275, 360 Wilson Street, Dunedin. Bring your Chili by 11:00 AM NO MINIMUM, NO ENTRY FEE, and Official Judging will be at 12:30 PM. Power available for Crock Pots; BBQ Grill will be lit. Coleman Stoves also available, or bring your own, if possible. 1st, 2nd, HOT, MEDIUM AND MILD Plaques will be awarded. A SPECIAL $100 PRIZE and plaque FOR PEOPLES CHOICE. Tasting starts immediately after Official Judging. $5.00 UNLIMITED TASTING - BRING YOUR TASTE BUDS! Bike Week is March 8th to 17th we will be out there at Boothill Saloon (Main Street) and Strip Club Choppers Roadhouse, Boardwalk Bike Show and the Rats Hole Bike Show . If you can’t get a room for the right price come out and camp with us. We will be at the ABATE campground in Volusia County Fairgrounds the 10 days price is $90.00 + tax per person and ABATE also has spots for RV Hookups…so come out and have fun when you are in Daytona.

The International Swap Meet and Bike Show will be held on March 8 & 9 in Eustis, FL at the Lake County Fair Grounds 2102 County Rd 452 www. vintagemotorcylealliance.com free admission. The people in Eustis really like us, It is a great little city. Lots of antiques and stores to show them off! Also the Daytona Swap Meet starts Friday March 8-12, just west of Daytona Speedway at Tamoka Farm Rd & Rt 92. And also everything Full Throttle is involved in at Daytona. Read Full Throttle for more info! The reason I am putting this in the February issue is I get a lot of calls as people didn’t get the March Issue early enough Let’s look at gun

control, seems like our government want to take our guns and ammo. I think it’s not the gun but the whackos in this country. I remember one time we had one in our neighborhood, everyone that knew him tried to get something done but they said he had done nothing wrong so he got no help but when he bought a gallon of gas but had no car no law against that but when he went in Winn Dixie and threw it on the cashier and customers and lit it he got help after half of the police force tracked him down. He now sits in the pen. I don’t know if that helps but we are safer don’t take our gun take the wackos... no one ever said don’t sell gas. The Japanese brag about zero gun related crime due to their total gun ban but they do talk about the wacko that killed 13 and 1100 people at one time with Saran Gas in the subway but not a single person was hot take away our guns. Let’s not forget our government with guns; they shot 13 citizens in Ohio at a college 43 years ago over a little misunderstanding.

See you soon Jean 44

Hey Ya’ll ! Well I did it! I got my motorcycle license and now it’s time to enjoy the ride on my own! Joe’s Motorcycle Training School and Instructor’s Todd and Jessica were very thorough and made the experience enjoyable. The small classes were great. Only 8 in the class and I was the only woman but, that didn’t stop me. Everyone has their own reasons to ride whether; it is to ride with your spouse or family, transportation back and forth to work, or just a hobby to enjoy. My reasons are more personal to me but to also enjoy what I like to do and the experience to say I can is more fulfilling to me than anything. This month we had the Biker Build Off at Quaker. Man, what a show! There were some of the most amazing bikes I’ve seen. All the time, creativity, and sweat put into these bikes truly showed. Great job everyone! We have a lot of great events coming up and closing fast in March is Bike Week 2013 in Daytona! It’s also a great time to put your ads in and fast! Florida will be flooded with fellow bikers from all over going to Bike Week and riding our roads. If interested in ads or a Bike Week Sponsorship give me a call, 352-277-2740. So that being said, all you procrastinators, it’s time to ride and come enjoy these events. It’s the start of bike season and we have had some great weather, so I hope to see ya’ll out!

Hey Ya'll! My name is Stellah! Go on say it.... STELLLLLLLLLLLLLLAHHHHHHHHHHH... I am you newest member to the Full Throttle Magazine Team!

In my spare time I have been a Bartender, Music Promotor, Booking Agent and Entertainment manager for your Greater Tampa Bay area. I have also participated in many charity events such as Walk for the Cure, Wounded Warriors, Shriners, and lets not forget various ones for our four legged friends! I didn't grow up around motorcycles as a child but definitly had a liking to them! I have recently had two motorcycles in my life and fell in love! There is most certainly something about them that lets you feel as "Free as a Bird". Over the past 4 years I have expierenced almost every bike night at one point or another in the Central Florida area from Bike week, Biketober fest, Leesburg to Gibtown! And let's not forget our local pubs and restaraunts! I even won a taco eating contest on Cinco De Mayo at CJ's aginst 10 other men! Well ya'll it's that time to wrap things up! I hope I can help every single one of you make your Full Throttle Magazine experience the best! XO Stellah

“It’s all about passion.” This statement perfectly describes Randy Welter’s attitude about Harley-Davidson motorcycles, lifestyle and the business. “This is so different from any other business, it really gets in your blood.” Randy is the General Manager of the new Harley-Davidson of Panama City Beach. He comes to the sun kissed beaches of PCB from the snow swept plains of North Dakota. He has been in the motorcycle business all his life. His grandfather owned a Harley shop in Grand Forks and he grew up learning about all aspects of the business. “I would go to work with my Dad when I was 6, hang out in the shop and learn about motorcycles.” From a tech in service, to parts, to sales, Randy worked his way through each department. Today, Randy is overseeing the

operations of PCB Harley from Brandon, FL. He keeps an eye on the building progress through a webcam and is working on all the details necessary to open a store. He can’t wait to make the move to PCB. “The passion for riding there is unbelievable. We know that our new guests are ready for a dealership in their area that will take care of all of their riding needs. We were up there a couple of weeks ago and you can really feel the excitement for the new store.” PCB Harley will be more than just a motorcycle dealership. It will feature a full service department, Harley-Davidson parts and accessories, Motorclothes, Harley-Davidson gifts, H-D Motorcycles and so much more. “This is a destination,” says Randy, “We want this to be a place for people to come and hang out, we encourage that.”

If you need a reason to hang out, there will be plenty. From the Thunder Beach rallies, to concerts, rides and other events, there should always be something going on. “We are building this HarleyDavidson to be a part of the community and that includes everyone from the tourists, to the PCB residents, to the riders, all are welcome.” Harley-Davidson of Panama City Beach is scheduled to open in Spring of 2013. Panama City Beach Harley-Davidson is part of the Tampa Harley Group that has dealerships in Tampa, Brandon and New Port Richey, Florida.

THE DAILY “GRIND”

IN “CHECK”MATES The Inspector General for tax administration said that the IRS detected more than 173,000 fraudulent tax returns from prison inmates last year. Many of these criminals used stolen identities and false information to get tax refunds. The IRS says they stopped inmates from collecting over $2.5-billion in funds.

INTEL ME ABOUT IT! You can hear the weeping and see the tears ... Intel (the world’s largest computer chip maker) only showed a $2.47-billion profit in the 4th quarter of 2012. That figure is down 27 percent from the previous year. Damn ... how much money does Intel make????

IS THAT A CIGAR IN YOUR POCKET?... Last month. Cigarsdirect.com delivered “El Gigante” ... the world’s largest cigar to an unidentified buyer. The stogie weighs 1,600 pounds, is 18-feetlong, 3-feet-wide and sold for $185,000. “The cigar could actually be smoked,” said Juan Panesso a Clearwater, Florida cigar dealer. “El Gigante contains enough Nicaraguan tobacco to roll 25,000 normal cigars.

MAYBE A MAN MEASURED IT? If you eat at Subway you’ve been getting ripped off for years! The world’s largest fast-food chain (with 38,000 locations) is facing criticism after a man posted a photo on the company’s Facebook page of a “foot-long” sub measuring only eleven inches! More than 100,000 people commented or liked the posting. The company says the exact size of a footlong sub can change due to the fact that bread is baked individually at each location.

HI-DEF SMOKE SCREEN

Last month air pollution levels in Bejing, China were so bad that people were told to stay home, don’t go to work and don’t drive. The visibility was so bad that all airports were closed as well. Wow, I thought LA had the monopoly on crappy air!

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, She complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The judge asked the man what he had to say for himself. The man replied, ‘Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice she was pregnant. She sat down under a sign that said, ‘The Double Mint Twins are coming’ and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, ‘Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling,’ and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, ‘William’s Big Stick Did the Trick,’ and I could hardly contain myself. But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time And sat under a sign that said, ‘Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident! I just lost it.’ The judge said, laughing, ‘CASE DISMISSED!!’
