Full Throttle Saloon is an American reality television series that premiered on November 10, 2009, and originally aired on truTV.

[1] The series chronicles the daily operations of the Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis, South Dakota, the world's largest biker bar.

Located on 30 acres of land purchased in 1999 by Michael Ballard, the indoor/outdoor bar included several large stages, a burn-out pit, a tattoo parlor, zip lines, a wrestling ring, restaurants, dozens of stores, hundreds of cabins for rent, and parking for thousands of motorcycles.

Each year, the first full week of August marks the beginning of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, during which time, the Saloon could average 20,000 guests each night.

[7] Ballard later stated that the fire started when a pinched power cord to a keg refrigerator overheated and ignited a nearby cardboard box.
