Full Throttle Saloon

Airing on the TruTV network, Full Throttle Saloon is a reality series about the world's largest biker, located in Sturgis, South Dakota. The bar is in operation for only 10 days a year in August for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Owned by Mike Ballard, the series follows Ballard and his employees as they cater to some 300,000 customers that visit the bar each year. In hopes of making an entire year's salary in the week and half, Ballard and his team work around the clock to prepare the stages, burn-out pit, tattoo parlor, zip lines, wrestling ring, restaurants, stores, and hundreds of cabins that all encompass the Full Throttle Saloon. Angie Carlson, Ballard's girlfriend and the Marketing Manager for the bar, is said to have the most photographed rear end in the world. Within Angieland, a section of the Saloon, there is a booth dedicated entirely to having one's photograph taken with her backside. Jesse James Dupree, one of the shows' stars and the Executive Producer, is in charge of the entertainment at the Saloon. Two seasons comprising of 16 one-hour episodes aired in the fall 2009 and 2010. MORE
