And there's not that much to rebuild, anyway.
Michael could of sold the place at anytime, hell a few years ago he was offered a healthy price for it. They say the Throttle stayed open as a local watering hole 50 weeks a year, but the two weeks of Sturgis bike week that place made him so much money it was unreal. Hell I thought it would be cool to stay at one of the cabins he there, man I could of took a cruise anywhere I wanted to go for what the rent for 10 nights would of been, hell basically to sleep in a closet.
And then you have to remember he has his Moonshine business that is also making major money during bike week. As for Angie ( his ol lady ) she loves the Throttle, hell it made her famous ( the most photographed ass ) Add all this with the fact that him and Jesse Dupree are both millionaire Bikers and hero's to millions, I just don't see him doing it, a disgruntled employee maybe. It sure did seem strange that it burned everything including the station across the street, but a boy told me yesterday that Michael had over 500 gallons of shine up there, if that sheot caught fire, well that explains the size of it.
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up
