At this 600 acre location the trio will host RVs and a large number of campers for the first time in the Full Throttle Saloon’s history. This year, a small Full Throttle build will be erected at the original location in tribute to its past history. Just a few miles down the road from the original, the new Full Throttle will be at the ex Broken Spoke Campground on Hwy 79 at the base of Bear Butte and will open on Friday, July 29, 2016.

To bring attention to Motorcycle Safety Awareness many bumper stickers and signs will be given away. The 4 most important advice given to car drivers. 1) Look for motorcycles – because they are smaller they can be hidden in a car’s blind spot. 2) Because of its size, it is hard to judge how far away a motorcycle is.

    Damn, there goes the neighborhood – hopefully it is in name only and the same management company is still in charge of operations so the FTS crew does not ruin one of the greatest places to stay at Sturgis.

    The Broken Spoke Campground was Kaput. The crew will be the one of the Full Throttle Saloon.

    I don’t think FTS bought the Broken Spoke Campground. Just exploiting it, renting the place.

    Thanks Cyril for the safety month plug. We should treat each month like a safety month.
