August is a big month for us at Full Throttle Magazine. August of 1998 was the first month that Mark and Molly produced a Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine. Imagine a carpenter and a CPA/stay at home mom dropping what they had been doing for decades, changing their entire life around to produce a print magazine. Mom and Dad had been riding together since the late 60’s but I don’t think they had any idea what they were getting into or how much it would impact the motorcycle community in North and South Carolina. They turned a perfectly good hobby into a job and they worked tirelessly to make it work. Long days, late nights, entire weekends went into the dream that The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine could help keep the motorcycle community informed about events and help biker friendly businesses attract more customers. That’s the dream that has kept this magazine in print for 325 months an entire 27 years. Their dedication was incredible and the reason you are reading this magazine today. I was just lucky enough to be along for the ride and to learn the ropes from two of the hardest working people I’ve ever known. So Cheers to 27 years! We will be celebrating at Springers in Greensboro on August 23rd.
