A good grass roots biker party.
Although this was my first time at this party they're in their 4rth year and going strong. Organized by the TN chapter of ABATE, their cause is of course repealing the TN state helmet laws.
It was a great little party with over 500 people showing up for the weekend. The campgrounds were beautifull, well shade with tons of camping space, a nice little stage, real washrooms, hot showers and even a little creek you could jump in and beat the heat. As far as locations go it doesn't get much better than this.
A bunch of stuff going on, including of course a bike show, biker rodeo games, rat races and of course some (suprisingly good) bands cranking out some tunes. And let's not forget the Saturday night men's sexy boxer shorts and women's wet tee shirt contest.
The wet tee shirt contest was kind of funny because somehow everyone forgot that the girls needed some tee shirts... you know, for the wet tee shirt contest? Oh well, whatch'a gonna do? Not to worry, they just simply lined them up in front of the stage and told the girls to ''go for it''. And go they did! Them girls are all troopers in my book.
The rat races? I had assumed before I went that it was some kind of rat bike dirt race or something... but they had actuall rats, which they placed in clear ball-shaped cages and ran down a little track! Must be a thing that they do up there in hill-billy land to entertain themselves during them long summer days...
The bands were GOOD, I really liked these guys called ROCKIN' FOOT CLUTCH, and they had STACIE COLLINS who I'm SURE we'll be seeing a lot more of at a bunch more biker rallies this summer.
It was a great little party, not too crazy and not too laid back. Old school, it's refreshing to see more motorcycles than rv's at a party nowdays. I went, I had a good time and it's definately on my ''to do'' list for next summer.
