First, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I am definitely looking forward to 2022 as we take steps every day to get back to the world as we know it. Putting covid-19 in our past and moving forward with this “new” normal. Last month was crazy with all the events from Leesburg Bike Fest to St. Pete Bike Fest. All these events turned out great and it was amazing seeing a lot of people I haven’t seen for a while at them! December has a lot of great rides coming up and tons of ways to donate to charities and many, many families in need this time of the year. Do what you can to help others in need. I look forward to seeing everyone out riding in December on all these great toy runs. Yes, I have to do it, OUR AD PRICES ARE GOING UP! Our gas, food, printing, postage and almost every single item we use has gone up in pricing and I must increase the cost of our ads. I am not raising our rate outrageously, but they are going to be more expensive than my post pandemic prices. Our new Full Page ad price is now $500 (was $400). Our New Half Page ad price is $300 (was $250). We offer a ton a freebies when you purchase an ad with Full Throttle Magazine. We never charge for our graphic design services each month. We will help you design your ads for free when you buy ad space with us monthly. We can also change your ad every month for you if you have new items or specials each month. We will also help you put on an event if you need our help. We can help find bands, rent stages, print flyers, boost our social media posts for your event and help the community know what you have happening at your location. WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOUR EVENT BE A SUCCESS!!! I have said this phrase so many times and it is 100% true. If you advertise with us and you don’t get a good response, they you probably won’t use us again!? So, my job is to make

sure if you promote an event with Full Throttle Magazine & Multi-Media, that it is a success! If you are interested in advertising with Full Throttle and you need our help with an event, call or email us today! Tony Cianci 727-919-1743 Cell and my email address is Tonyc@FloridaFullThrottle.com There are going to be some great events happening in December you won’t want to Miss. Riveters is changing their bike night to Tuesday Nights!! That will be huge as they were on Wednesday nights and now are on Tuesday nights. They also have a big event coming up called Wrench Fest Florida 2021 It is December 4th and will have hot rods classic antique bikes and much more! This will defiantly be a fun event you won’t want to Miss. Then the Next day is the Bert’s Barracuda 5th Annual Christmas Toy Run. This ride is awesome as it is police escorted and goes down by the beaches and back to Bert’s Barracuda for a big party at the end. The next huge toy run has been happening for 41 years! Sunday Dec 19th is the 41st Annual Suncoast Brotherhood Toy Run. This year it starts at the American Legion Post 275 (360 Wilson St Dunedin Fl) and goes on a great route around Dunedin Fl and ends back where it starts. There is always so much going on at the end of this toy run. They have live bands, vendors, bike games and of course the wheel barrel of cheer raffle! There are so many events in December it’s hard to list them all! Also, on Friday December 17th Full Throttle has our open house and Christmas party at our offices in Tarpon Springs (1844 N Pinellas Ave AKA: Alt 19 Tarpon Springs FL 34689) We will have free food and drinks and we always do a fun white elephant Christmas gift exchange. Bring a fun or funny wrapped gift and we draw numbers, and you have the chance to exchange gifts and steal gifts, it is a lot of fun every year! We hope you can stop by and enjoy the day with us. Be safe and be smart out there while riding. This is the time of year people have a lot of parties and are not always 100% behind the wheel when driving so always expect them to do something stupid. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, don’t drink and ride and I’ll see you soon!

Happy Holidays from myself and the rest of the gang here at Full Throttle. As I drove to work today thinking about November and what I would write, I remembered all year I had claimed” this was my year”. I thought about that for a while and had a good cry over the Skyway bridge and it dawned on me. It is my year 100%. I have battled some incredible obstacles, a shitstorm that hasn't stopped with my health. I hide it with my smile and many days away, but dammit I am still here! 14
Able to smile. And I have many people and experiences to be thankful for. It is my year. So, my big news is I am moving already. I am not meant for any type of urban living I have found. I love my new home and neighbors, but I sure miss my island and the quiet way of life I had. So, I'm headed back to the beach. I am also looking for a trike too (yeah I said it). I was waiting for Paul Sr to ask if he could build one for me, but he hasn't called yet, so I guess I'll start searching for something a little out of the norm. PS You still have time to call . OK lastly, I want to thank the many people that have attended our events or events we promoted. We hope everyone has had a blast with us. And everyone who gets this far on my column, thank you! We have so much to be grateful for, all of us. Don't forget that. Peace and love to the Biker world, Laurie Jo

December, 2021 Full Throttle – Gulf Coast It’s been a great 3rd quarter riding and holiday season for the Gulf Coast Diva Angels! A couple events of note: (1) an 100+ mile Tail of the Gecko Rolling Purple TIFF Thunder Awareness ride which encourages riders and drivers to have an emergency contact information set up through the flhsmv.gov so that your loved ones are the first to be informed in an emergency; and (2) ride to the Arcadia Bikefest - always a great event with super music, good food, vendor shopping, and the possibility to wander onto a Diva dance floor at Rattlers Old West Saloon. The Gulf Coast Divas also contributed to their 2021 local charities Parenting Matters and Selah Freedom. We are looking forward to celebrating the holidays in typical Diva style and send warm and happy wishes to y’all for a fun and safe holiday season. “Like” us on facebook page for meeting, ride, and other event details at https://facebook.com/ divaangelsgulfcoast or email gcdivaangels@gmail.com Check out the all the chapters of the Diva Angels at www.divaangels.org.
