Michael Ballard is the finest motorcyclist and has driven many bikes for almost ten years. The motorcyclist’s love for bikes made him able to turn his passion into a biker bar known as Full Throttle Saloon.
He has also been listed as one of the most successful CEOs in 2015.
In Trimble, Tennessee, Ballard was born in 1965. Michael was a troublemaker when he was a kid in Trimble.
He earned the title of “Little Al Capone” from the local police because of his mischievous nature.
Ballard became obsessed with bars and alcohol at a very young age. He started slipping into the Silver Dollar Cafe when he was just 12.
Michael Ballard famous for Full Throttle Saloon
Michael Ballard soon found some peace and started working for himself in the mobile phone industry. In the late 1990s, he visited Sturgis, South Dakota, and later decided to sell Cellular Plus.
He bought 30 acres of land with money he earned from selling his company because Sturgis drew him there for some reason.
Ballard then started constructing an impressive indoor/outdoor bar and recreation area. The facility, which he called Full Throttle Saloon, has 200 cabins, a zip line course, a burn-out pit, two stages for performances, numerous restaurants, a tattoo parlour, shops, and parking for all guests.
March through mid-November is when the Full Throttle Saloon is open. The establishment serves up to 20,000 guests every night in August during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and consumes up to two tractor-trailers’ worth of beer per night.
All merchants supply their wares between 3 a.m. and sun up to ensure enough products to provide food and drink for the bikers who meet at Full Throttle over the Rally days.
At any other time of the day, too many bikers are on the road to allow vehicles to pass.
The largest biker bar in the world, Full Throttle is renowned for luring people of all ages, tastes, and personalities.
Everyone of the legal drinking age is welcome there, and bikers and regular blue-collar workers frequent the establishment.
His initial goal was to maintain the enormous bar. Full Throttle Saloon is a multipurpose building requiring much work and money.
The guy must generate revenue during the peak months of July and August because the facility is only profitable for 7-9 months.
Michael’s Full Throttle TV series
He was contacted by truTV in 2009. The network indicated an interest in recording the regular activities of his motorcycle bar, so they started creating a show about it.
On November 10, 2009, the reality program made its debut.
The television show, aired from 2009 to 2015, follows Michael Ballard as he battled to maintain the bar’s popularity and financial stability over its brief season, which saw more than 300,000 visitors enter its doors.
Angie Carlson, his girlfriend, joined the group in the show’s second season, which follows the daily activities of the legendary biker pub.
She began her career as a server before transitioning into one of the “Flaunt Girls” dancers and finally earning her small stage where guests could take pictures next to her.
Ballard returned to Trimble in 2013 to open a liquor brewery called “Michael Ballard’s Full Throttle S’loonshine” after finding success with the Full Throttle Saloon.
The vodka plant has already established itself as a well-liked tourist destination, and the alcohol will be supplied nationwide.
