what is his name mike ballard that owns the damn thing.I heard he is close to being almost criminal in how long it takes him to pay most of the people that work or worked for him. Is this true I realy have no ideal his show was pretty cool he had to make money from that. So if he is not paying his people what is his malfunction.

you are just trying to start trash talking about someone. take it somewhere else. i bet when you turn around you have a little green man following you. ur just jealous. besides unless you work/worked for him what is it your business when & how long it takes him to pay? unless you are the IRS or someone he owes money to its none of your business. stop trying to hate on someone that decided to actually get out of this deadbeat town and make something of himself. he has always been nice enough to me. so get over yourself and stop being a nosey, trash starter.

he's just a guy that made some good business moves. anyone that says they haven't thought about cheating the IRS is a liar. now he's famous because he bought a bar that was already famous. big f'ing deal.

None of you know what you are talking about. Michael Ballard opened Full Throttle Saloon and didn't buy it from anybody. He does pay his workers, if he didn't, he'd already be closed beause they'd have filed suit against him. The bar was already past successful before the TV show so move on and talk about somebody else that's actually worthy of being trashed. Not somebody that you are jealous of for being successful. This isn't his first successful business since you know so much.

My whole family worked for Michael this past year at Full Throddle and they were paid in full by the second week after the rally was over. They mail the checks to the employees so that might be the problem if Michael has the wrong addresses.

I heard that the money issues that they talk about on the show was made up just to have some type of conflict for the show. He doesn't face any type of money conflicts in real life.

Have you seen his semi that's parked at Boss Hoss?
What would he haul to need a truck that size. I'm proud of any local person that does well and I really enjoyed the show.

Mike went to Sturgis and bought a 27 acre lot. He then built the Full Throttle from scratch in 99. He has continued to make it better every year. He is a great guy and friend. He pays well and on time. I hope all the best because he earned what he has. My hopes you all get to meet him somday and make up your own minds. Better yet come to rally the second week in August and see for your selves.

I too graduated from DCHS with Mike Ballard nearly 30 years ago. Ran into him at Hastings in Dyersburg last year. We recognized each other and talked just like it was 1983 again. Straight forward and down to Earth now just as he was then. I am proud of you Mike.

Yeah I have a friend that worked for him a time or two and the way he does things isn't fair. He had her stay in a trailer and work pretty much 24/7 pay sucked and she was doing it as a fair to him. This was right before the show started. She even had to by the biker rally shirts he told her she HAD to wear. Plus @ full price. Come on now, that's no way to treat a friend.
