Hogknookers - Full Throttle News

With the weekend forecast looking a little dreary Killer Creek H-D has postponed the St Patrick's Day Party until March 21st. The good news is the sale will now be three days long: March 14, 15 and 21. At this point we don't have any other postponements to tell you about. Make your plans now to attend a new motorcycle rally coming to Jackson, GA the first weekend in April (April 3, 4 and 5th). It’s Sweet Lou’s Bucksnort Biker Rally Presented by Steve Murrin "The Original Biker Lawyer". It will be held just off Hwy 36 in Jackson. It’s right off I-75 just past Buckners Restaurant. It’s also very affordable, just $20 gets you in the gate for the entire weekend. And if you live in the Metro Atlanta Area it's close to home. There’s plenty of primitive camping space available and lots of vendors. There will be live music Friday and Saturday. Friday Papa Bear will start things off and give way to Skeeterz. Saturday Papa Bear will open for Geneva. Stay tuned for further details. There will be motorcycle games, wet t-shirt contest and Full Throttle Magazine will be hosting the Ms. Thunder Beach Regional Contest. Come Join Steve Murrin (“The Original Biker Lawyer”), Full Throttle Magazine and Big Dog Motorcycles Atlanta for the very first Bucksnort Biker Rally. Bike Nights are starting up for the spring. Kicking off tonight, Full Throttle Magazine will be hosting a new Bike Night every Wednesday at Bullfrogz in Kennesaw, GA. With $5 Yengling Draft Pitchers, $1.75 Yengling Draft Pints, $3 Wells for Ladies and $4 LIT (Long Island Tea). Come on out and party with Full Throttle's own Jay Ballard. Full Throttle Bike Nights are coming to Buford as well.

Full Throttle Bike Nights are every Thursday at Tom's Place in Cartersville. Where it's always 5 O'clock, come hang out on the deck and party with Full Throttle. ON MY SOAPBOX: Our recent emails have mentioned Legislative bills that have been moving through the House and Senate. I understand that HB-617 (Red Light bill) has died in the Rules Committee after being read favorably by the Motor Vehicles Committee. I have no way to know how many of you called or wrote your Reps but I hope that you did. So far practically all legislation that has been introduced on your behalf is DEAD. Possibly the "Enhanced Penalties" bill still has some life left. No one can do this alone. Legislation gets passed because of numbers and the only way we can prove to the State that we have united numbers is by joining our State's motorcycle rights organization, ABATE of GA. We banded together last year and got the Tag and Title legislation done. You rallied behind me and Full Throttle, and in turn behind ABATE, but it's simply a matter of I don't have the time and can't focus all of Full Throttle's resources behind each and every bill. That is the job of ABATE. We will support and work as hard as we possibly can, and do as much as is physically possible. But the foundation of this country was built by individuals stepping up, banding together and getting things done. That's all we are asking from you now. That you step up and band together with ABATE so we can get some things done. These bills are a minor challenge when compared to things happening on the National level. Let's start here; we can get together and throw the tea in the harbor on another day and hopefully that day is coming soon. Here's a list of the weekends events: Mar. 12-15 Forkland, AL.
