March 2025 - ISSUE #332

---

  We made it, it’s March, the days are getting longer and we’ve made it to rally season. No one, and I mean no one, is happier to see these changes in the year than a biker. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been out riding. Sometimes in good weather, other times shivering our asses off and we still had fun. But the warm weather riding season is what we all live for. Bring It On! 

I hope that some of y’all don’t read this till you are back from Daytona, us unlucky folk will read it and dream of the warm Florida sun shining on us as we ride from party to party. No worries though, our day will come soon, and there are plenty of events going on in the Carolinas to pull us through. The March Cruisin’ Calendar proves this…check it out and plan your month now, before the “honey do” list gets filled out! We are kicking off the Full Throttle Custom Bike Show Tour 2026 at Independence Harley-Davidson in Matthews, NC on March 14th with an amazing 30 bike showcase inside the dealership and a free registration people’s choice bike show outside the dealership. It’s gonna be a great day, ride out and hang with us for a bit! 

The Cover this month displays one of our favorite local events, the CBA Swap Meet and Bike Show. March 28-29 the Rowan County Fairgrounds will be alive with bikers pickin’ through cool old parts, kickin’ tires and shootin the breeze. They also have a Ride In Bike Show and an Indoor Bike show with $1000 in cash prizes. This is the 56th Annual CBA Swap Meet and Bike Show, and a staple in the community! Check out the Cover Story on page 4 for the details. 

Whatever you do, do it on two wheels. Get out there and enjoy yourself. Just make sure this 332nd copy of the Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine is in your saddlebag. We’ve packed it with great biker friendly businesses, places to ride, events, cool bike photos to keep you entertained and in the know.
