Full Throttle Saloon is an American reality television series that originally aired on truTV from 2009 to 2015. The show is set in Sturgis, South Dakota, during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which attracts more than half a million motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world. The main focus of the show is the Full Throttle Saloon, an iconic bar and concert venue that's been a fixture at the rally for over a decade.

The series follows the colorful characters who run the Full Throttle, including owner Michael Ballard and his wife Angie, who serves as the general manager. Michael is a larger-than-life personality who's passionate about motorcycles, music, and entertaining his customers. Angie, on the other hand, is the brains behind the operation, handling everything from staffing to finances to marketing.

One of the most memorable aspects of the Full Throttle Saloon is its nightly concerts, which feature some of the biggest names in rock and country music. The show gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how these concerts come together, from booking the talent to setting up the stage to dealing with rowdy fans. Some of the notable musicians who have performed at the Full Throttle include Kid Rock, Buckcherry, Brett Michaels, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Another highlight of the show is the Full Throttle's signature events, which range from bikini contests to arm wrestling tournaments to motorcycle stunts. These events are often wild and unpredictable, with plenty of drama and excitement to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The show also explores the relationships and rivalries that develop among the Full Throttle staff and regular patrons, giving viewers a sense of the tight-knit community that forms during the Sturgis rally.

One recurring character on the show is Jesse James Dupree, the lead singer of the rock band Jackyl and a longtime friend of Michael's. Jesse is a larger-than-life figure who often serves as a mentor and sounding board for Michael, offering him advice on everything from business strategy to personal relationships. Jesse also brings his own brand of mischief to the Full Throttle, whether it's performing on stage or getting into hijinks with the other staff members.

Throughout the show's run, the Full Throttle Saloon faced numerous challenges, from financial setbacks to legal disputes to natural disasters. The series documents how the staff weathered these storms and kept the bar running despite all odds. In many ways, the show is a tribute to the resilience and camaraderie of the Sturgis motorcycle community, which has thrived for decades despite the obstacles it has faced.

Overall, Full Throttle Saloon is a high-energy, fast-paced reality show that captures the spirit of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and the Full Throttle Saloon. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves motorcycles, music, and the thrill of the open road.
