Abate Tennessee's Southern Thunder motorcycle rally in Adams, TN.       Nice place to hang out for the weekend with some friends and support a good cause.       This show is the Abate TN's yearly rally slash fundraiser, with the proceeds going to finance their operating costs.       I had another shoot on Friday night in Nashville so I missed the first day but I did make it up there for Saturday. Tons of bands, some field events, a motorcycle show, a very late night tattoo contest and the world's shortest wet t shirt contest pretty well sum it up.       They did have ''guns of freedom'' out at this show which was cool as shit. They were out there with a very nice selection of full auto machine guns including a .50 caliber Barret sniper rifle you could shoot out on the little range they had set up. Cool as hell and by far the most fun I had all weekend long.       This show is the Abate TN's fundraiser and was kind of slow and disorganized. The bands played on time and everything else just kind of happened whenever people got around to it. I love ABATE and fully support most everything they try to get accomplished, but as a straight out party I've been to a lot better.       Biker BoB gives this show 4/10 beer cans
