Here at Full Throttle we are very excited to be going into the Fall season as much as every other rider in the state of Florida! It means cooler days and dryer weather! This has been one of the wettest summers I can ever remember in the state of Florida. Get them bikes ready for some good riding weather and we hope to see you all in Daytona for Biketoberfest. Speaking of Biketoberfest, Full Throttle Magazine & Multi-Media will be there set up in at least 4 different locations around the area. First you will be able to find us at the Daytona International Speedway next to Bikers Care Tag handing out our info as well as theirs. If you don't have the red, white and blue tag on your bike, spend the $20 and get it! It helps out a lot of great charities, in fact there are 6 involved in the group. Stop by and find out who they are and why you should get the Bikers Care Tag Plate for your motorcycle. Second, We will be at Main Street Station on Main Street with a set up handing out some great freebies! Sat. you can come out and meet Samantha, our Biketoberfest model and get an autograph and a picture with her. Third, we will be set up at Destination Daytona Harley-Davidson in front of Saints and Sinners Bar. That is always a good time as they have live music and a ton of stuff going on in that area.... DID YOU HEAR MOLLY HATCHET IS PLAYING THERE FOR FREE!!!!!!! Heck yea, Sat night, don't pay to go see Molly Hatchet when you can see them for free in concert at Biketoberfest at Destination Daytona Harley! We will also be set up at the Full Throttle Boardwalk Bike Show on Friday all day and at the Rats Hole Bike Show on Saturday. We will be all over the place so be sure to stop by and say hi! Full Throttle will be hosting our annual LET'S GET CRAZY PARTY at the Holiday Inn and Suites in Daytona for Biketoberfest this year again! This is going to be a great time, and be sure to bring your beads! We have a men's and woman's best buns and best chest contest, we will have dozens of adult movies and toys to give away and we will be doing a 50/50 and playing games for prizes. The Party will be Thursday Night, October 17th from 8pm till ??? at the Holiday Inn and Suites about 1 mile south of Main Street Daytona on the Beach side, just look for the Full Throttle Trailer! Lot's of great things are going on with the Florida Motorcycle Expo and Bike Builder Invitational as well. We have vendors already calling in and getting their locations as we are giving vendors. Check out the Championship Ring that is going to the #1 Bike builder in the show that was made by Continental Wholesale Diamonds! This is a one of a kind super bowl style ring with over a carat of diamonds! If that doesn't get the best bikes in the world at our show I don't know what will! At press time we already have about 30 bikes in the show and we are capping it at 45 so we are close to full. If you would like to get your bike in the show please feel free to contact me with pictures and info at tonyc@floridafullthrottle. com. I will send you back rules and info if your bike fits in our show! I would like to say Happy Halloween to all my fellow bikers and Happy Birthday to all of our Full Throttle Friends: Straightpipes Harlinna, Rick N Susan, Chuckles Willis, Robin Ried, Rob Rohr, Bryan York, Alfred Swetay (DEW!!!!), Tiphani Taylor (The Intern), Tom Ridderman, Rick Lanier, Pamela Weldon Kauten, Paula Taylor Alonzo Reed, and Tim Firstenburger.

Our fearless leader, Robin Williams took part in Quaker Steak & Lubes Annual Redneck Olympics, benefiting CJ the bartender who recently suffered a stroke. Robin is what you would call "all in" when it comes to participating in events to help others. I can report that she faired pretty well in the Armpit Serenade and the Mud Pit Belly Flop competition. Way to go Robin! Also, our thoughts, hopes and prayers go to CJ for a speedy recovery! Next up, some of our Divas joined The Rotary Club of Central Pinellas for a day of fun at the 2nd Annual Bowling for Literacy Fundraiser on Saturday, August 17th. Everyone had a great time, and the Divas are happy to participate in any events the Rotarians put together! We were honored to participate in The Zumbathon to Benefit Team Harris on September 14th. The family was in a tragic car accident and all were seriously injured. Unfortunately, 6 year old Heidi did not survive. Over $6,000 was raised and all proceeds went to the family. God Bless you "Mighty Heidi" and family. If you would like to help the Harris family, please go to www.mightyheidi.org The Diva Angels have gone to the dogs. On September 20th, we had a really bitchin' time at The Senior Pet Connection 80's Night at our home turf, Quaker Steak & Lube and it was like, totally awesome(sorry, I couldn't help myself )........ Anyhoooo, SPC is a 501(c)(3) organization that offers cost-free food and pet-related assistance

to those senior citizens who are on a fixed income. On October 6th SPC is also hosting Paws For The Cause starting at QSL. Please go to www.seniorpetconnection.org and find out what they are all about and how you can help! Also, last weekend our "Sisters from the south", The Gulf Coast Diva Angels held a fundraising Biker Bash Party at the Anna Maria Oyster Bar. All proceeds benefitted The Southeastern Guide Dogs. A fun time was had by all and the guide dogs were precious! Check it out at http:// www.guidedogs.org/ , On October 27th we will be at Quaker Steak & Lube for their 10th Anniversary Celebration. Congratulations to Bill Church and his A-M-A-Z-I-N-G staff! Also, come see the Divas November 8th through the 10th - We'll be slinging beer at the Ribfest once again! The proceeds from this event have continued to help our community with its efforts to prevent child abuse, help build a new children's hospital, contribute to many youth oriented causes, and help individuals in need in our community. If you are interested in learning more about our organization, we meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at Quaker Steak Lube in Clearwater (5:30-7 social meet & greet).

Welcome to Autumn bikers..... As summer comes to a close biker events are just heating up. September was a good but rainy month so really looking forward to October and better riding weather. September for me was still very busy as I was honored to M/C the Children's Cancer Center Benefit at Jannus Live. We raised around $1500 dollars for center and had 4 rockin bands that put on a great show. Then it was off the the Porpoise Pub for the Big Daddys BBQ and Hot Sauce Bash. What a great day. We had a wet t-shirt contest, Lingerie show, Pig chase and so many great bands played the weekend. Mother nature threw a little rain our way but we pushed on. In the

end it was a great event and I cant wait til next year to do it again.. If you like BBQ this was where it was at. But time to ride FULL THROTTLE into October. Leads of events starting with Thunder Beach Fall Rally in Panama Beach, FL. I be at Boardwalk Beach Resort for the first time ever October 2nd thru the 6th to host the event. Check out the events page at www.boardwalkbeachresort.com. Then it's Biketoberfest in Daytona. Be sure and check our FULL THROTTLE for all the details. Ride safe bikers and have a great Autumn season..

Tsunami Custom Cycles started in the spring of 2012( May), by Jorge(Doc) Florez and Oscar (Oz) De Jongh, who has since left to start another venture on his own. Scott Hall joined our staff in April of this year as General Manager of Operations, he brings many years of retail success and customer satisfaction. Tsunami was created to fill a niche of building custom bikes for both domestic individuals and a network of foreign contacts in Spain, Germany and Panama. Additionally Tsunami employs two trained Harley-Davidson technicians (Dave and Steve) with over 35 yrs combined experience, who were hired to meet the demand for repairs and servicing of all American V-Twin motorcycles. Dan our Service Consultant/Sales Manager brings over 30 years customer service experience. Tsunami immediately found customers in Zephyrhills and the surrounding areas from Lakeland, Ocala, Wesley Chapel, and North Tampa who were looking to find reliable quality service and fair pricing. Originally opened Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., customers asked us to be open on Saturdays, we listened. We are now closed Mondays, opening now on Saturdays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting in May of this year, to provide for our customers’ needs. Saturday’s are primarily used for oil changes, 1k,5k,10k, 20k manufacturer recommended services, and new tires. We follow Harley-Davidson specifications for all recommended

service maintenance, which satisfies Requirements to maintain Factory Warranties and Extended Service Warranties. We carry lots of motorcycle parts and various brands of oil, including H-D Synthetic and Regular, and we stock Dunlop and Michelin tires sold at internet pricing. Our goal is to treat every customer and his/ her motorcycle in the same way we would like to be treated ourselves. Additionally we do restoration and repair of older bikes, custom choppers and custom builds. We do collision damage. insurance claims, and Extended Service Warranty repair for ESP, Safeguard, and Fidelity. A new state of the art Engine Performance Dyno is coming soon, to allow us to service engine tuning and High Performance Dyno analysis. Our goal is to be a complete V-Twin repair shop, capable to complete quality maintenance and repairs for almost any job on your Harley, Indian, or Victory. We also can build your dream motorcycle, custom paint, pinstripping, graffix, seats and bags, new Reinhardt or Vance and Hines pipes, High Performance batteries, or new Custom Dynamic led lights to make your ride safer. Finally, our showroom grows with new offerings every week, consignment bikes, leather jackets and vests, helmets, handle bars and cleaning/detailing supplies for your bike. Parts and Accesories from Drag Specialties, Bikers Choice, and Kuryakyn can be order for repairs you want to do yourself. Come on by, the coffee pot is always on, and cold water is in the refrigerator. If you have a few minutes, we’d like to give you a tour of our spacious 3,000 sq. ft. professionally equipt shop. We are exactly 1 mile East of Hwy 301 on CR 54, Zephyrhills, Florida.

Hi there, I’m here with Brian from Stitch on Time and we are talking about the best bike seats, one of the most important parts of your bike. Brian says ‘they are designed to make your bike look sleek, but even though porn shoes look really good in the air, they aren't comfortable for a long run.’ Your comfort and safety makes you and your passengers ride enjoyable, not a regrettable trip from hell that can hurt for days. Bad fitting seats are dangerous and can lead to many preventable accidents - falling from too tall a riding position with your heels off the ground - squirming due to sore butt and not paying attention to the traffic ahead of you. You can also save money and performance by putting the correct seat on your bike before changing your suspension. He said you need to select a seat for how you intend to use the bike - for show, to go bar hopping or touring. Buying a seat on impulse at an event can be a costly mistake because you could end up with monkey butt and won't want to ride that F#?! seat home. Take your time to select your new seat. When buying a seat find a dealer who has a "try out" program. Many seats are nonreturnable once installed and used leaving you with extra seats clogging up your garage. Most seats are designed for riders 5’ 10” and 180 pounds. If you are 2 inches or 20 pounds on either side of average the seat comfort starts failing and you should consider a custom seat that fits your needs. We modify stock seats to fit your height, weight and injuries. We have had great success even with severe spinal injuries that have made many riders consider giving up riding. Most riders even with injuries can go 600 mile days without hurting on our custom seats. We have beautiful covers designed to compliment your ride, allowing for show winning bikes that are comfortable! Don't sacrifice comfort for looks. Quality and service are within riding distance if you are reading this article. Brian said to stop by the show room or check out the website [asweetseat.com]. He will be happy to spend time answering your questions and showing you how to make your bike ‘fit’ you just the way you want. Till next time “Live life to the fullest and party your A** off “ Dew

This is the month - Spooks and Scoots. I want to tell you a little history about Spooks and Scoots and Hillsborough County ABATE. In 1980, the Hillsborough County Chapter of ABATE of Florida lost its president, Jim Hill, to a motorcycle accident. It was decided to have a yearly Halloween party to pay tribute to brothers lost. In the following years, the locations changed and now it is held at Sertoma Youth Ranch in Brooksville. One of the prettiest camping spots in Florida. In 1991 another change was made to the event. A sister, Elaine Shearin was taken from us. Spooks 'n Scoots速 is now dedicated to brothers and sisters lost. 2003 was the first year Hillsborough unveiled the Eternal Flame and the Memorial Wall. The Memorial Tent is a tribute to members that are no longer with us, but are not forgotten. Much to everyone's unhappiness, each year they have had to add a few more to the list that have left us. Not just a Halloween party, Spooks 'n Scoots has become more of a wake in memory of all of those who no longer catch the wind with us. ABATE is looking out for your motorcycle rights. They offer education as well as a voice to be heard in Tallahassee. It has been and continues to be one of the top organizations for Bikers. Spooks and Scoots is a fundraiser for ABATE and Hill-

sborough County. The proceeds are used to promote a better environment for bikers. This will be the 33rd year. This is my favorite yearly event and I would like to thank Richard, Patti and James for all they put into it. Without them, I do not think this would be happening. If it hadn't been for the people who patronized it for the past 33 years, I know it wouldn't be happening. Patti serves on ABATE's stateboard - she stays pretty busy helping the biker community. We need to thank her for all of her effort. Be sure to look for me at Spooks and Scoots - that is all for now, I am going to head to McDonalds to visit with my friend Dennis. I always enjoy visiting with him. See You Soon Krista...

October is here Tons of stuff going on this month! October kicks off the cooler weather, sends the rain away for a little while, and frequent bike events appear! Want in on a little secret of why October’s my favorite and worst month of the year? BON FIRES AND RIDING WEATHER make it my favorite, but I am an October baby! This year is more special than the rest, as it’s my Golden Year! I’ll be 26 years old on the 26th of October! …I’m also a sucker for dead trees, fall leaves, and carving pumpkins. Unfortunately, it’s also my worst month of the year. There are so many events

overlapping, I’m forced to choose which one’s I attend. Midterms are my least favorite part of the semester, and with homecoming, it seems there’s always an event overlapping with my birthday plans. Besides my birthday, this month there are lots of anniversary parties in the area, go ride around and enjoy the celebrations! I’d like to introduce AAA Gun and Ammo, stop by and say hello to Roy and the crew. They have all your firearm needs, from guns, ammo, and accessories to CCW classes and a range to practice. They also have the only Live Fire Simulator range around. Go check it out, test your skills and see if you can hit a moving target on more than just a video game! They’re located at 1105 Goldfinch Dr, Plant City, FL 33563. Till next month, ride safe and we’ll see you all in Daytona for Biketoberfest! -Tiphani

An elderly man was stopped by the police around 2 AM and was asked where he was going at that time of night. The man replied, “Well... I’m on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking, and staying out late.” The officer then asked, “Really? And, who’s giving that lecture at this time of night?” The man replied, “That would be my wife.” ***************************************** There was this man who walked into a bar and says to the bartender, “Give me 10 shots of whiskey.

Herman’s Hermits – “Mrs. Brown You Have a Lovely Walker” Procol Harum – “A Whiter Shade of Hair” James Brown – “Papa’s Got a Brand New Denture” Elvis Presley – “That’s When Your Heartburn Begins” Bobby Darin – “Splish Splash I’m Having a Hot Flash”

The man responded, “Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden, naked in my trench coat and flash them. My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much.” The woman was so impressed; she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her garden hoping for the best. One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, “By the way, how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?”

The bartender asks, “What’s the matter?” The man says, “I found out my brother is gay and marrying my best friend.”

Rolling Stones “I Can’t Get No Erection”

“No”, she replied, “but my cucumbers are enormous!”

The next day the same man comes in and orders 12 shots of whiskey. The bartender asks, “What’s wrong this time?” The man says, “I found out that my son is gay.”

A retired man went into the Job Center in downtown Denver, Colorado and saw a card advertising for a Gynecologist’s Assistant. Interested, he went in and asked the clerk Q: What did the tree say to autumn? for details. A: leaf me alone.

The next day the same man comes in the bar and orders 15 shots of whiskey. Then the bartender asks, “Doesn’t anyone in your family like women?” The man looks up with a sad look and says, “Apparently my wife does.” **************************************** A man was out west and stopped to talk with an American Indian and asked what was his wife’s name was.

Welcome To Fall

The clerk pulled up the file and read: “The job entails getting the ladies ready. You have to help the women out of their underwear, lay them down, and carefully wash their private regions, then apply shaving foam and gently shave off the hair, then rub in soothing oils so they’re ready for the gynecological procedure. The annual salary is $65,000, and you’ll have to go to Billings , Montana .”

He replied, “She is called Five Horses”. The man said, “That’s an unusual name for a wife. What does it mean?”

“Good grief, is that where the job is?”

The Old Indian looked at him and answered, “It old Indian name. It mean .....”

“No sir -- that’s where the end of the line is right now.

“NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG!”

A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn’t seem to get her tomatoes to turn red. One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbor. He had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes. The woman asked the gentleman, “What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?”

Q: What did one autumn leaf say to another? A: I’m falling for you. Q: Why did summer catch autumn? A: Because autumn is fall. Q: Why do the Boston Red Sox fans love autumn? A: Because watching the leaves fall reminds them of the (Yankees). Q: How do you fix a broken pumpkin? A: With a pumpkin patch Q: What falls in autumn? A: Leaves!

As the Editor of Full Throttle I get the opportunity to see a variety of different Products for the Motorcycle & Power Sports Industry. We have several Bikes and various Power Sports toys and this is one Product I felt a need to share with all my Readers. A little over a year ago I installed a FIN® (Find It Now) GPS Security System on one of my bikes. I did so after listening to Dealers that advertise with me talk about how great FIN worked and that their customers loved all the Security features. I interviewed many riders that had FIN® installed and they all said about the same thing. They felt so much better at night and when traveling knowing their bike was protected. They liked being able to see exactly where there bike is at any time and they could look back in the History and see all the stops they had made on any run.

After over A yeAr testing, i hAve to sAy thAt i Agree!

We do many Runs and Events across the Country and I have been concerned about 72

parking my bike for the night, wondering if it would be there in the morning. FIN lets me know immediately if someone moves my bike and has many other features along with giving me the ability to track & monitor my bike 24/7 from anywhere. I get a text and email on my phone and it doesn’t matter if I am 50 feet away or 500 miles away. I can access my account and get the exact spot it is located thru any internet connected device, I can track it in real time and since it has a built in back up battery, if my bike is stolen and they disconnect the power, I can still track & locate my bike for several days. FIN® was Voted number one in Motorcycle Security even before LoJack® decided to leave the bike protection business. If you have ever worried about your bike when you are out at bike events, traveling or just riding back & forth to work, FIN is a small investment to protect your ride; sold through your local Dealers. FIN® Made In America, Offices in Florida and Veteran Owned & Operated! It doesn’t get any better than that…
