As if those elements weren#8217 t enough to set it apart from other biker bars, The Throttle is only open two weeks out of every year, during the rally so owner Michael Ballard and his team have to pull in a year#8217 s worth of receipts in these two wild weeks. This enormous, 30-acre indoor/outdoor bar features several large stages, a burn-out pit, a tattoo parlor, zip lines, a wrestling ring, restaurants, dozens of stores, hundreds of cabins for rent and parking for thousands of bikes. The Throttle is no ordinary establishment. Two semi cabs form the light booth for the stage. Someone told me when I was there that this bar caters to the blue collar biker.

It has an edge to it not found at the other saloons. Having visited all the major bars and concert venues at Sturgis over my last 15 years of attending the rally, the Full Throttle Saloon, dare I say, is one the wildest. The Full Throttle Saloon is considered the worlds largest biker bar.

A photo I took in the daytime before things got into full swing. Its raw motorcycling at its best and now that Im in the midst of winter here in Montana with no motorcycles in sight, Im enjoying watching all the sights and sounds of Sturgis rally, which happens to be one of my favorite place to visit each summer. I must say Im finding it rather interesting. Since I stopped in to the Full Throttle this past year during the Sturgis Rally I was curious to see what the show is all about. The weekly show debuted on November 17 on truTV. Wow! Where I have been the last year? This is the second season of the reality show / behind the scenes look at the famous Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis. I was curious and popped in the promotional DVD to watch.

So I received a press kit in the mail a few weeks ago on TV show about the Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis that was debuting in November.
