Ton's Of Great Events!
Wednesday Night at Quaker Steak I was surprised by the Diva Angels who presented me with a plaque and a certificate of appreciation to me and Full Throttle Magazine! Thank You Ladies!
Friday Started off at Fran Haasch's Offices for a Food and Toy Drive. A lot of people showed up and they filled up a whole trailer full of toys and food. I heard when they dropped off the stuff the Shelter had NO food left on the shelves! Can you believe that!!!! Look at the Great Motorcycle community and what we did! Fran, Rhett and the entire staff are the most amazing people in the world! Congrats on raising so much food and toys for the needy in the Holiday Season.
Saturday brought us to Palm Harbor Bike Fest that was probably the biggest we can ever Remember!!! Full Throttle had multiple booths around the event and our main set up was right in front of Peggy O'Neil's! We had a great time at Palm Harbor.
Sunday was Full Throttle Magazine's 14th Anniversary Party at Grass Flats. We had a HUGE turn out and everyone came out to celebrate with us! Fran Haasch Sponsored the free give-a-ways: a 42' Flat Screen TV, Blue Ray DVD player and iPod Shuffle. Special thanks to everyone who showed up! We love our fans!
LIVE LIFE FULL THROTTLE!!!!

Great weekend - 1st toy run
This past weekend was great!
Saturday I had my kids so I didn't do any motorcycle stuff :) I was playing daddy!
Sunday my kids hung out with their Papa and I got to lead the first toy run of the season in the Full Throttle Truck. It started at the old K-Mart in Tarpon Springs and ended up on the bayou at Craig Park in Tarpon Springs headlined by the Greg Billings Band. There were about 200 people on the ride it's self that was police escorted through beautiful Tarpon Springs, down to Fred Howard Park. Dew, Phil and Louise were there all day and I ran over to the Leigh Nolan Poker run for UPARC. There was a around 80 hands in the poker run this year. It's getting tougher and tougher each year to pick dates and times for events as there are so many events happening.
The time change was weird, last night at 6pm it was almost completely dark! but when I woke up at 5am this morning it was already starting to get light outside... but I do love this time of the year! Thanksgiving then on to Christmas!!!! All we need here in Florida is a little snow and I would be one happy camper! LOL

Fight night!?!?
Well, I have called out Ronnie from btr and I haven't heard anything yet...I think he is distributing his magazines right now as they might have just come out today (Nov 5th)
Here's the Idea.....
CHARITY BOXING MATCH
TONY CIANCI vs. RON GALLETTI
(FULL THROTTLE MAGAZINE) vs. (btr)
#1 - We both need to raise $10,000 each!
so there would be a total of $20,000.00 between the both of us.
and since there would be no losers in the match, we would do a 75% / 25% split for the winners charity ($15,000 1st place / $5,000 2nd place) EVERYONE WINS!!!
#2 - We would wear head gear and use probably 14oz or 16oz gloves.
#3 - I am thinking THREE (3) - 2 minute rounds
With a real referee, judges (maybe celebrity) and corner men.
now...where to have the fight?
I have that idea also...but I am not gonna tell all my secrets right now.... ;)
LET'S FIRST SEE IF RONNIE IS MAN ENOUGH FOR THE FIGHT.....
THEN MORE INFO WILL BE RELEASED!!!

Fran Haasch's 10th Anniversary
I had a great time last week and weekend!
On Wednesday 10-27 - Fran Haasch started her 10 year anniversary celebration at Quaker Steak and Lube's Bike Night giving away great prizes like iPod's, gift certificates and a flat screen TV. She gave some great plaque's and wonderful appreciation to all the media she advertises in including Full Throttle Magazine and myself Tony Cianci (See the plaque below) I was so sick that night but I did not want to miss one of the best parties of the year so I was heavily medicated and made it through the evening. Fran, Rhett and her office and crew are simply the best people you will ever meet. She is always there for the motorcycle community when you need her the most. Fran is also more than just an advertiser with Full Throttle Magazine and the Cianci family, she is a personal friend.
The Next event happened at Grass Flats on Friday 10-29. Grass Flats is a great place to have a party, especially when the band playing is The Greg Billing Band!! They even got Fran on stage singing with them. I personally put on a Halloween costume that night as I dressed up like our beloved Revrend Jim from Preachers Custom cycle Promotions. I even had the cane, the limp and the sunglasses! I haven't seen him smile like that in a long time...
The Final party was back at Quaker Steak on Halloween day 10-31. There was a huge turn out and the day was beautiful. BTR and Quaker Steak were also celebrating their Anniversaries. One of the best parts of the day was when BTR was giving away $100 to people who signed up at their table, and I WON $100!!!! Thanks for the green RON, I hope you guys enjoyed the beers I bought for you. I gave the road crew a beer, bird man mike and your wife a beer, you were on stage I think. Either way, I know you hated giving it to me but I enjoyed you having to do that! The finger was the classy and nice touch!
I will be posting here often so please be sure to check it out frequently and make comments if you can....I love to hear feedback!
I'm out and remember----
YOU CAN BE BORN TO DO ANYTHING....
BUT LIVE LIFE FULL THROTTLE!!!!
