Motorman’s Tips, Tricks, and Techniques Just the other day while out for a ride, as I was pulling up to a busy intersection and slowing for the red light, I saw a fellow rider on what looked like a new Harley Ultra waiting to pull out from a side street to my right. I was in the middle of the three lanes, about 10 cars back from the light. I stopped and waved him out so he could pull out into the line of cars waiting for the light to change. As he pulled out, I noticed he had both feet sticking straight out like outriggers. He passed in front of me and was attempting to pull across all three lanes to get into the turn lane to make a left. The left turn signal was green, so he had to go very slowly to wait for the cars that were moving and making their left. When he saw his chance, he pulled quickly into the left turn lane with both feet still sticking straight out. Just then, the left turn arrow went red and the car in front of this guy hit the brakes. Mr. foot-dragger who hadn’t finished his turn, grabbed a handful of front brake and if you’re a loyal reader of this column, you know what happens if you hit the front brake with the handlebars turned. He went down hard and fast. Worse yet, his ankle was caught under the bike. I jumped off my bike and lifted

his bike up enough for him to get his ankle free. That gave me enough room to upright his bike for him. By this time, the light had turned green and of course, the cars behind my bike were now parked and began blowing their horns. Mr. foot-dragger was limping badly and was quite shook-up. I told him to make his left and pull into the parking lot on the right and I’d follow him. His biggest worry was possible damage to his bike. Being an Ultra, with crash bars front and rear, there was no damage to the bike. Since the guy was able to move his foot around, he didn’t seem to be hurt. About this time, the guy notices the Ride Like a Pro decal on my fairing and tank and says, “you’re that motorman guy, I saw your show at Bike week!” He then starts laughing and says, “of all the people to drop my bike in front of, it had to be you!” I then asked him if he knew why he went down. He said, “yeah, that guy stopped too fast”. I had to laugh because I knew that’s what he was going to say. I then informed him in the nicest way possible that he went down because he snatched the front brake with his handlebars turned and his feet were sticking out in the wind instead of on the floorboards where he could have used the rear brake and avoided the tipover all together. I then handed him my card and told him to come to one of my classes. So far, I haven’t seen him. He’s probably afraid he might drop his bike during the class. Go figure. Don’t be this guy, sign up for one of my classes via my website www.ridelikeapro.com . Learn how to really ride that bike with skill and confidence.

Hey y 'all. Each one of us ride our own rides for a reason, whether it be a passion for wind or a passion for motorcycles. If it's on your own or on the back, it does not matter, wind is wind. Until a few years ago I would have told you I'm not a biker, but a girl who rides a bike. Then I went to my first bike week in Daytona and my first Biketoberfest riding down main street. I customized my own bike and rode that Motorcycle 15,000 miles and won my first bike night trophy from Full Throttle Magazine. What an awesome ride this has been. Every one of us know what it's like to hear pipes and turn your head. Now I can proudly say, "hey! I'm a biker chick having one heck of a time!" What a way to kick off the New year. The poker run with David Moss was a blast. I'm still smiling from watching everyone ride in on their bikes welcoming 2019. Gibtown Bikefest I ran into so many friends and I had

a great time registering people for the giveaway bike at the expo. If you are looking to have an event and want Full Throttle to help out, email me at Tracy.fullthrottlemag@gmail.com. We can help your event be a success. Looking forward to new opportunities. Tammy's Ride and poker run was a huge Event. I would like to give a shoutout to Bert's Barracuda, Beef 'o Brady's, Firehouse Subs, Quonos , Tampa Vtwin , Outback Express and The Alley for helping with donations. Each one of the stops also donated to Tammy. Special thanks to Eastside Lounge, Riversedge, Kelly's Hideaway and Scoreboard Lounge for a great ride. People had donated 41 baskets and the auction was tons of fun. It was a great time had by all. Guess what's almost here! The 2019 Florida Motorcycle Expo and Bike Builder Invitational. This event will be amazing with all the best builders, this girl's dream come true, as my bike Lacey was designed by me. I think of the talent that is going to be under one tent. Let alone the talent on stage, or the talent of the vendors with their new products, old favorites and their up and coming inventions to make riding easier. This 5-day event is one you won't want to miss. Sisters can join me and learn about new upcoming Full Throttle Magazine events on Facebook at SASSY WIND SISTERS. Come be a part of FULL THROTTLE MAGAZINE and BERT'S BARRACUDA Family. Live laugh CAKE Tracy. Looking to promote your business or event Email me at: Tracy.Fullthrottlemag@gmail.com

Well it is almost here. The biggest party on the west coast of Florida. The Florida Full throttle Expo is the biggest and best bike event it has ever been. With 300 plus vendors and 7 national acks it's sure to impress everyone. I hope to see you all there. Feb 6th through the 10th is 5 days of none stop action. Did I mention girls girls girls and even some eye candy for the ladies? January has been one hell of a month. Between preparing for the Expo and the Key West poker we have been so busy. The bike nights have been great, and the weather has been awesome. I have put almost 2000 miles on my bike just this month. We here at Full throttle strive to bring everyone the best events we can put together. We have so much in the works coming up this year. I can't wait to tell everyone. Once the t's are crossed

and the eyes are doted, we will put it out there for all of you. Can you believe Daytona bike week is just around the corner? We have so much going on that week. We have put together 6 shows so far. One of them is at our new location and new home of Full Throttle Magazine for bike week in the Hard Rock Hotel in the beautiful ball room the first sat of bike week. Very high-end bike show showcasing the best of the best. Of course, we still have the Board walk show on Friday then the speedway show is on Sat. as well. We are also putting on bagger shows at the Grandview Live strip club Monday night and Thursday Night. If you haven't been to one of these nights time shows you don't know what you are missing. They are quickly becoming some of the best shows of Bike week. All the lights, sound and beautiful bikes is a must see. Deland bike rally is also the first sat of bike week. We are doing a show there as well om main street. We did one there last year and had almost a hundred bikes. This is a good show to enter for riders that ride their bikes. Well I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to sign off. Like always. Be free and ride safe. Les Tolliver - Sales Manager and Event Organizer 727-534-4447 - les.fullthrottemagazine@gmail.com

Here we go, hey There Guys and Gals, it's been an amazing start to this New Year. Would like to thank everyone who came out to all the events even on the days and nights that was extremely cold (YOU GUYS ROCK). I mean Throttle Thursday, Gibtown Bike Fest, Brandon Harley Bike Night, and Full Throttle's Key West Poker Run. What an amazing turnout we had for the New Year's Cruise Around the Bay Poker Run , We had people lined up and signing up before it was time to (AWESOME), BUT what really got me he most was the look on Twinkie's face when Chief Cupcake the Owner of Florida Full Throttle Magazine handed him some money that was raised for him (unaware to him). That's what I Love about the Biker Community. Then there's the Key West Poker Run what an AWESOME time and again BIG BIG Thanks to everyone who

was on the ride but also those that worked each stop and to the Owner's/GM's that allowed us to use their Business as a stop. It was truly an HONOR to ride with a couple of co-worker's in the Key's for one it was their first time in the Key's and for Eric and Shawn to Honor their Dad a fellow Veteran THANKS for letting me apart of this time. Can't wait to be part of the next Run. Remember the FLORIDA MOTORCYCLE EXPO AND BIKE BUILDER INVITATIONAL is February 7th-10th and you can get VIP tickets $150.00 for one, $250.00 for a two, and $400.00 for four.

Now on a different note, I would like to wish a VERY SPECIAL HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY to my Little Mini Me Eason aka LIL FLUFF. It's that moment when you realize Mini Me isn't so Little anymore. It seems like yesterday he was walking and now he's driving a car. Also to my little Sis Desi (can't tell you her last name) Happy Birthday. Love you Guys!!!!

What's going on everyone. I hope everyone is riding safe, doing great and enjoying this new year. I want to let you know a little bit of what's going on we have the expo going on from February 6th to the 10th. That always gets me excited because it's always a great time. But the part I'm really excited about is that I was honored in making the trophies this year. That's right J-Sizzle Concepts custom trophies at the motorcycle expo..... I can't thank Tony enough for giving me this opportunity to share my concepts with you all. I also have to say thank you to Marvin from Misfit Metal Works for all his help making my concepts come to life.

I've been staying really busy with my Full Throttle Misfit Concept trophies. You can always check out some of my concepts on Facebook. Just look for J-Sizzle Concepts or if you find yourself out and about take a ride to Lakeland Harley. Megan will proudly show off their custom artwork. If you find yourself around Brandon Harley, you can check out my 115 years behind bars concept that's hanging up. Or even Tampa Harley. Check out some Sizzle concepts and Maggie has exciting events going on there all the time. But, every 3rd Saturday of the month Burt's Barracuda Harley Davidson has a 100-horse power event that everyone has to checkout and possibly take one of my trophies home. Most importantly when you find yourself at any of the Harley's, look around spend some time in them. There are some of the friendliest people who work there I have ever met. Check out some of their events you won't be sorry you did. If you are ever behind your handlebars and looking for something to do you are always welcome to stop by any Full Throttle event. Come and say hi to me and have a good time. As always, ride safe and be good. Or as they say, if you can't be good be good at it....... JC/Sizzle out

This being the month we begin to think about taxes, we also think about what was our income last year. With last year being a complete roller coaster in the last quarter of the markets, we are also wondering what 2019 will hold with the world economic situation. This month we are going to talk about a few options that you may want to consider for your investment portfolio this year. These types of investments may help you derive meaningful income, reduce risk and effectively position your money to optimize your interaction with Uncle Sam.

Everyone in our biking community loves to ride and have a successful journey. To make sure that happens, they have gas in their tank, provisions in their bags, and an understanding of the roads they are about to travel down. With retirement nearing for many in our biking community, it is increasingly vital that you carefully examine your financial gas tank, investment provisions bag, and your map for the financial road ahead. This means, understanding the income level you will need, how long you may need that income to last, and what challenging tax implications you could be facing in retirement. With such volatile markets it is more critical than ever that you review where your portfolio stands associated to risk/ reward before you actually reach retirement or need income.

Have you ever wondered how your investments could generate income for life? Well, there are several investment vehicles that can provide you with that income but you may need a vehicle that also has the opportunity to grow your principal. Many of my clients are enjoying the benefits of increased income while still retaining the opportunity for principal growth. Speaking of retirement, some of my clients have decided that they are now ready to sell their business and/or real estate assets. In some cases, selling your real estate investments could cost you as much as 35% in taxes. I have been helping my clients with situations like this throughout my career. So, when it comes to selling your real estate or your business, contact us PRIOR TO the sale so we can explain your options and avoid those capital gains. This could help preserve your sales proceeds, remove your property management obligations, and capture an income level that is equal to your real estate or your business income. Whether you need to re-evaluate your retirement assets, selling your business, selling your real estate investments, or receiving a settlement, I will use my expertise and work diligently to make your principal work as hard for you as you worked to obtain it.

As we close the doors on another month we can all look forward to an exciting month to come. Like the many years past, Full Throttle Magazine will be hosting the 21st annual Florida Motorcycle Expo February 6 - 10, 2019. I am personally looking forward to meeting with all of the great vendors that we will have onsite. The months of working together in preparing for this event will allow me an opportunity to meet each one of you, as well building the longterm relationships for many events to come. While we tend to look for all of those big and exciting events that are coming, let us not forget that there are many events happening month after month in our own backyards. Whether a bike night at a local establishment or a poker run that spans many

establishments, it is these smaller events that continually bring together those men and women riders that can build lasting friendships. Along with that, we as a biker community support the local businesses and vendors. Without these folks and these small events we are merely riders, but together we are a biker community. Finally, as we prepare for the beautiful months of riding weather to come ensure that you and your bike are ready for the road. Have you looked to see if your tires are in need of replacing, when is the last time that your fluids have been changed, are all of your lights functioning properly? These things are crucial to you and your bikes safety on the road. If you find that service is required look into our great vendors throughout our magazine. Make sure when you contact them you tell them that you saw their ad in our Full Throttle Magazine. erock out

Reflecting back on my first full month with the Full Throttle team and some of the challenges. It wasn’t as easy of an adjustment as I thought but I am learning and adapting. I got a chance to hang with the crew at The Gibstown event. It was a lot of fun but very different from my custom bagger world I’m use too. It was good times nevertheless. I met tons of cool and exciting Harley enthusiast as they registered for the Full Throttle motorcycle giveaway. This event took us back to the old school way of doing bike events. It was in a big open fair ground with lots of cool vendors and great food. It was great to see a variety of classes. The bike show had many creative and detailed bikes. I also saw some familiar faces at Gibtown. Congrats to KSO’s own Ken Starling for winning Best of Show.

The entire Florida Full Throttle team is now gearing up for the Bike Show and Builder Invitational!! I am so excited to be a part of such an exciting event. It will be full of big named leaders and hottt bikes in the industry. Big Wheel Women (BWW) will be in the building for the Invitational. I am bringing all the pink smoke and glitter you can handle to make sure this event is LIT! Daytona Bike week is quickly approaching. I am so gassed up about all the shows that will be happening this year! Full Throttle’s Bagger Royale and the KSO No Class are set to have two of the hottest shows that bike week has to offer at the Hardrock Hotel in Daytona Beach!! There will be beautiful girls, nice bikes, and loud sounds at this upscale hotel. who could ask for more... Well a cold beer is definitely in order. Hardrock will be the place to be in Daytona on March 7th and March 16th! Don’t meet be there, beat me there! BabyGirl

Hey there fam! February already! 2019 is well on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way now. And we opened it up down here in The Conch Republic with the Second Annual Full Throttle Key West Poker Run. What a way to bring in the new year! We had hundreds of riders come from all over to participate and have a good time with us, some from as far away as Canada EH! They brought with them smiles and .stories about their Overseas Highway ride experiences. And any time I get to hang with the Full Throttle Crew, man is that great. We had a great awards presentation where we gave away 5,000 cash, as well as other cash prizes. Special thanks goes out to Joe Longo and the incredible staff at Sand Bar Sports Grill, with a special shout out to our girl Lily! Best drink slinger in the Keys! We

are looking to keep this train rolling and do it bigger and better next year! So, February is a busy month, as you have all been tracking, we have the Expo at a wonderful facility in St. Pete. Christy and I will be up to support the team, so please come out and see us. Details are in the magazine so take a look. Finally, I just want to say that you dont need an excuse, you dont need a reason, a Poker Run or anything else to take advantage of this beautiful time of year in South Florida, hop on your bikes, and ride on down. As always, we hope to see you down here at the Bottom!!
