Ok, I'm going to say it.....damn it's hot outside! We are finally in the brunt of summer here in Florida and it's either sweltering hot or raining. We here at Full Throttle are looking forward to June and July as we will be celebrating our 200th issue this month with a huge party at Quaker Steak and Lube on June 8th and 9th and our 16th Annual Soaked and Sore Ass Poker run is July 13th and 14th and we're to Savannah, GA. We have two great events planned for these hot summer months. Enjoy the weather, watch out for the cages and remember to stay hydrated, not just with beer, but lot's of water! Did you notice the beautiful cover models on our 200th Issue? That is correct, you're looking at my beautiful wife Tonya Cianci who has been at Quaker Steak and Lube for almost 9 years and Melissa who is also a bartender at Quaker. My wife has lost over 70 pounds and is a CROSS FITTING MACHINE! She looks amazing, love you beautiful! PSST.... did you also notice anything else about the cover?? If you see it, e-mail me and the first ten people will win a prize. It's pretty funny when you see it. Special thanks to GAMO ROBLES who shot the cover and for all the pictures he shoots for Full Throttle, you rock GAMO! 200 ISSUES is quite a milestone, Full Throttle Magazine is celebrating our 200th issue (16.66 years) with this month's June 2013 issue and we are very proud. I myself have been with the magazine for just over 10 years and as the owner for just a very short time. I would never change those years as I started sweeping floors at my Father's office and handling a few sales accounts for commission. Now I am sitting at the desk as the Editor and Owner and LOVE every minute of it! For Father's Day I would like to thank my Father and Grandfather both for teaching me all the business knowledge I know, both good and bad. They have molded me into the person I am today and I don't know if I could have made it to where I am at today without their guidance. So, on June 8th & 9th at Quaker Steak and Lube, we will not just be celebrating 200 issues of a magazine but a family legacy that is destin to continue in the motorcycle industry for many years to come. It started with my dad, Paul Allen, and I am honored to continue it. We have some great things happening for the 200th Issue Party. First we have some great bands playing all weekend long from Jeff Vitolo and the Quarter Mile Rebels to Stormbringer on Saturday Night. We will also be giving away $2000 in cash over the weekend FOR FREE!!!! All you have to do is sign a form with your info on it and put it in the box. We are going to draw 5 winners on Saturday and 5 winners on Sunday. Each winner will get $200 (for our 200th issue party) and YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN. If you are called and you are not there, you will not win the money! All the winners pictures will be in the 201st issue in the recap of the event! The drawings will be at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm each day. There will also be live pro wrestling from NWA Florida Underground that is looking to be pretty good! Next we are going to have a $1,000 Bikini Centerfold contest on Saturday night and a huge ride in bike show on Sunday brought to you by Radical Randy and Doug Bishop State Farm Insurance. It's going to be a great couple days at Quaker Steak and Lube celebrating a huge milestone that no other local motorcycle magazine in the area is even close to! We hope to see you all there! July 13th and 14th is the date for the 16th Annual Soaked and Sore Ass Poker Run. We are starting at the Golden Corral in Port Richey and ending at in Savannah GA at the Days Inn Savannah Airport Location. We looked at a lot of hotels and locations in the historic district and they were all too small or too expensive. The Days Inn is going to let us have the pool open late and keep the bar and food open late as the end of the Sore Ass Ride is usually a pretty good party! If you have never been on one of our Sore Ass Ride it's awesome. $35 for a single rider or $60 for a couple and rooms are only $55 plus tax per night. at the end you get a shirt, certificate and a patch. We also hope you plan an extra day to check out Savannah as it is a beautiful town with lots of history. CALL AND BOOK YOUR ROOM TODAY and don't forget to mention "Full Throttle" to get your special room rates. Have a great month, I would like to wish my brother (NAVY CHIEF - PAUL CIANCI) a Happy Birthday and my beautiful daughter ASHLYNN CIANCI a Happy Birthday on the 27th, she will be turning 8 years old! and I would also like to wish all my biker friends a happy birthday in the month of JUNE: Big Al,Theresa Lawson, Lauralynne Butterworth, Karisa Eayrs, Jessica Otto, Johnny Medina, Vicki Moore, Mara Villa, Desiree Vila, Brenda Parlaman, Jimmy Wallace, Kelley Halvorsen, Sandy Golobish, Todd Ritchie, Susan Auriemma, Tracy Affrunti, Jenny Brown, Janet Sullivan, James Newland, Brent "SCOOTER" Cory, Ken Settle, Jess Enriquez-Morrissey, Suzanne Kovach, Lynne Kottke, Tara Londergan and Carole Harris.

Wow, time flies when we’re having fun and trust me friends, the Diva Angels always have fun! We have been so busy, so where do I begin? Well, we raised funds for the Senior Pet Connection. This organization assists low income senior citizens, disabled individuals and persons on a fixed income who need help to take care of their beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out to this fine organization if you can help out. www. SeniorPetConnection.org. We also made a very special trip to the Ohana Horse Rescue in Brooksville. Ohana’s mission is to save the lives of as many horses as they can by giving them a place to recover from injury and neglect while they learn to love & trust again as their injured souls are healed. It was a truly amazing experience as the pictures show. Because they are an out of pocket rescue and there is always more work to be done in a day than is possible, donations of time and money are considered Godsends and always very appreciated. They can never have enough help and the horses need more people to love them. Volunteers are treasured and donations of goods are always helpful. If you would like to help them please visit their website www.ohanahorserescue.org. Aside from the wonderful opportunities to help the animals; we also took the time to do what we do best………………..RIDE! Some of our sisters attended the Leesburg Bikefest, the Five Bridge Poker Run, and various rides both north and south of the Tampa Bay area. We also attended Jim’s Harley Davidson Birthday Bash and the Cruise For Kids among other events. I would like to give a huge congratulatory “shout out”

Hello bikers. Hope all of you are having a fun summer. Welcome to a very special back Yard. As many of you have notice lately my hair is much shorter. That is due to me having it cut to support a great friend who is fighting cancer. All Lynn ever ask for when she started treatment was my hair. I ask Sandy and Ronnie Burris of “Wings of Hope Cancer Team” if they could help with Lynn’s request of getting my hair put into a Rays baseball cap. They put the word out and someone donated the Rays cap and Kassie Ledford of Dollylocks hair salon said she would 40
figure out how to get it done. I had my haircut at the Wings of Hope Poker Run and then turned it over to Sandy and Ronnie. The final product turned out to be great. Thank you to everyone who helped me make this request for a great friend come true.
Rob Bachman “BIG ROB” started tattooing professionally in 1991. Ricky Ball out of W. Hollywood, CA took him under his wing and taught him the trade. In 1994 Rob left tattooing for two years, going home to help with a family business venture. He came back to Florida to Hardcore Tattoos for six years and Tat2U working for Alan Hope for the next five. He married his lovely wife Katie in 2006 and decided to travel. He enjoys doing guest spots and put down ink in Texas, ended up in Venice, CA for awhile, stopping in Chicago, Denver, New York & Kentucky. Florida, once again, lured them back! Mouse’s Sunset Tattoos located at 624 East Bay Drive in Largo is Rob’s home now, saying…he’s appreciated where he is.
Rob loves tattooing and specializes in realism/ portraits. Inspired by true greats like Jack Rudy, Paul Booth, Bob Trell & Corey Miller. Both Rob and Mouse say they inspire each other. One being an old school biker and the other a little old school with the new school values and techniques. His art is versatile--be it his design or yours, you will come away with a treasure. I let him have free reign at the Tattoo Fest. He loves it when that happens! At one point I was questioning the size. I am so glad I didn’t change a thing. My hand drawn original octopus jumps off my leg!! Thanks again Rob! Come see Rob and Mouse Tuesday – Saturday from noon till eight, Sunday and Monday by appointment. I’m closing my article by telling my Full Throttle readers that I’m talking a few months off due toshoulder surgery. I’ll still be hosting bike events at Venom II (6/23) and a bike and car show at Bourbon St (6/30). See you around As Always…think ink! Tattoo’d Carole

We have officially moved our office out of Oldsmar and into Tarpon Springs on ALT.19 and the Anclote River, I really like the new place. Other than a 70 foot shrimp boat catching on fire in the Sponge Docks last week, it’s a real laid back place. I was told there was lots of fuel aboard the boat and it was on fire for hours, you could see the smoke from miles away. As I live on Highway 50 with lots of traffic, I was lounging around watching t.v when I heard a crotch-rocket it sounded like it was wound up tight and going 100 m.p.h. I guess they BEEF O' BRADYS Zephyrhills, BIKE NIGHT thought no Largest in Pasco County! one would pull out of a side street or anything but someone did, a lady pulled out in front of them. He was going so
44
fast, the lady didn’t see them until it was to late and they were right on top of her car. The biker flew through the air, it seemed like the length of a football field killing him instantly an the passenger was talking but seemed to be in a bit of shock. I don’t know what later happened to her but it’s sad that a person can run down the highway at high speeds and expect everyone to stay out of their way. When I ride I go the speed limit or slower and always expect people to pull out in front of me. There is a lot of things going on the weather is great right now in Florida, so get out and ride but be careful at high speeds. You won’t see much but the Undertaker might see you sooner then you’d like. See you soon. Millie

If there ever was a guy that had the Midas Touch, it is the owner of TWISTED LIQUID, Jason Doty! I first met Jason at Hap's Honda. He was there with a friend of his. It was back in February when I first started with Full Throttle. He kindly asked me to stop by his shop and deliver magazines. Little did I know that this man was one of a kind with the world at his heels! SPOTLIGHT ON TWISTED LIQUID OWNER, JASON DOTY: Jason is young, 45, but he has children and 2 grandchildren (his son's middle name is HARLEY*). But what is most amazing is that he has the ingenuity and gumption to make it BIG. And I do mean BIG!!! It all started one year ago when he opened shop in Sarasota. FL. (941) 920-2500 twistedliquidsrq@gmail.com www.twisted-liquid.com He started out of high school taking body shop classes, etc. and learning how to paint. Jason has always loved Harley-Davidsons (his cousin is Scott Parker who was sponsored by Harley and has nine grand championships in racing). Jason went out to get his bike painted and hydrographed by a semi local company. For the price and time to do it, he decided there must be room for more than just them in the area. At the time, he owned a scuba diving business and dive charter boat. He sold the boat and went to the different factories, met the owners, and ordered equipment and went through their training. And the rest of the story (as they say) is one out of this world. He started TWISTED LIQUID and the business has been blowing up ever since! Now they are part of the Prostaff of Shawnaughty Designs. AND THEN... he went to Daytona Bike Week where he was to meet the inventor of LUMILOR and the rest my folks is HISTORY IN THE MAKING! Jason flew out to the inventor's house in Ohio, stayed a couple weeks and was certified in this new LIGHT UP PAINT. Jason became the very first certified lab in the country. Twisted Liquid is now doing custom paint on bikes, cars, and other things. They also offer hydro graphics, 24k gold plating, and of course, THE NEW LUMILOR LIGHTED PAINT. The lighted up paint is a process that consists of 5 coats of paint. It is voice and sound activated. It is solar powered also! The paint alone is $15/sq. inch. TWISTED LIQUID has been growing so fast that they are now in the process of moving into a location 3 times the size of the current location. They are not moving far, but it is in a much better location on Hwy. 301 in Sarasota. They have expanded their staff and have added new mechanics. Twisted Liquid will stay open 24 hrs. a day in order to finish the large project that they have just acquired in
painting golf carts. They have also started building choppers from the ground up. *Jason has always loved bikes! Since '93, he was ordering a new Harley when his then wife told him she was pregnant. * He said, "I'll get my Harley one way or the other", so his son's middle name is HARLEY! What's next for TWISTED LIQUID and Jason Doty? Nothing but good things and I can't wait to see what's next! One thing for sure: IT WILL BE GOLDEN BECAUSE JASON IS THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN TOUCH!!! I wish him all the luck in the world! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other shops I visited: METAL MAFIA CUSTOMS, John at 941-549-1561 This is a really neat shop and can do amazing things with your Harley!

Four men are in the hospital waiting room because their wives are having babies. A nurse goes up to the fi rst guy and says, “Congratulations! You’re the father of twins.” “That’s odd,” answers the man. “I work for the Minnesota Twins!” A nurse says to the second guy, “Congratulations! You’re the father of triplets!” “That’s weird,” answers the second man. “I work for the 3M company!” A nurse tells the third man, “Congratulations! You’re the father of quadruplets!” “That’s strange,” he answers. “I work for the Four Seasons hotel!” The last man is groaning and banging his head against the wall. “What’s wrong?” the others ask. “I work for 7 Up!”
************************************** One night a man and a woman are both at a bar knocking back a few beers. They start talking and come to realize that they’re both doctors. After about an hour, the man says to the woman, “Hey. How about if we sleep together tonight. No strings attached. It’ll just be one night of fun.” The woman doctor agrees to it. So they go back to her place and he goes in the bedroom. She goes in the bathroom and starts scrubbing up like she’s about to go into the operating room. She scrubs for a good 10 minutes. Finally she goes in the bedroom and they have sex for an hour or so. Afterwards, the man says to the woman, “You’re a surgeon, aren’t you?” “Yeah, how did you know?” The man says, “I could tell by the way you scrubbed up before we started.” “Oh, that makes sense”, says the woman. “ You’re an anesthesiologist aren’t you?” “Yeah”, says the man , a bit surprised. “How did you know?” The woman answers, “Because I didn’t feel a thing.”

A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fi xed. They couldn’t do it while he waited, so he said he didn’t live far and would just walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware Store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home. While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, ‘Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane ?’ The farmer said, ‘Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house I would walk you there but I can’t carry this lot.’ The old lady suggested, ‘Why don’t you put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?’ ‘Why thank you very much,’ he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the way he says ‘Let’s take my short cut and go down this alley. We’ll be there in no time.’ The little old lady looked him over then said, I’m a lonely widow with no one to defend me. How do I know when we get in the alley you won’t hold me up against the wall and have your way with me?’ The farmer said, ‘Holy smokes lady! I’m carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?’ The old lady replied, ‘Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I’ll hold the chickens.
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. “Amazing,” he thought as he fl ew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights fl ashing and siren blaring. He fl oored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this!” and pulled over to await the trooper’s arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding - a reason I’ve never before heard - I’ll let you go.” The old gentleman paused then said, “Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.” “Have a good day, Sir,” replied the trooper. ******************************************* Two little boys are going to the hospital the next day for operations. Theirs will be fi rst on the schedule. The older boy leans over and asks, “What are you having done?” The second boy says, “I’m getting my tonsils out, and I’m afraid.” The fi rst boy says, “You’ve got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up, they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It’s a breeze.” The second boy then asks, “What are you going in for?” The fi rst boy says, “Circumcision.” “Whoa!” the smaller boy replies. “Good luck, buddy. I had that done when I was born. Couldn’t walk for a year.”
