The flaming biker with the chainsaw now has a bunch of new friends. Six other new biker or other weird vehicle statues now grace the grounds, along with the Muffler Man still standing guard.
[Patrick Lewis, 11/06/2024]The Full Throttle Saloon has been rebuilt and has reopened down the street a ways. The motorcycle sign and the Muffler Man, which were both unharmed by the fire, have been relocated to the new saloon.

A larger-than-life sculpture of a biker, made of rusted metal, is perched on a pole in front of the former Full Throttle Saloon, which burned to the ground on September 8, 2015. The sculptor may have had a premonition, because the biker and his chopper also appear to be in flames. And he's steering his motorcycle with a chainsaw.
