[TwoSeven]

I posted the link for this in another thread, but decided I kinda like this bike.

I know folks are going on about street fighters, but RatFighters are better :)

Some Dutch Harleys. http://www.ratbike.org/hd_nl.html Sort of like these bikes.

Pic 3 looks like the rider died, and fell forward onto the handlebars. Then, another rider just inherited the bike :D

I think all bikes, with the right amount of LACK of care and old age, become rat bikes.

actually it is quite hard to make a rat bike - when was the last time you made your own holloween costume? same sort of pricipal.
Pity most rats are illegal these days

[StoneChucker]

Ofcourse it's hard, I was just being silly. If done well, and on a second bike maybe, I reckon they look really good. Definitely something to talk over at the local hangout.

I wonder the Goldwing in pic one was what BMW modeled their RS series off ;).

i guess rats are cool, its a good excuse to not bother cleanin and polishin, and always a challenge to get em past the WOF guys

[Coyote]

I still prefur streetfighters :headbang:

[inlinefour]

I'll leave the rat thing to others though. I'm more the sport biking sort of rider :rockon:

[TwoSeven]

Somehow RatSportBike doesnt really cut any credibility does it. I mean having two grains of dirt on a pristine faring doesnt really cut it does it :)

We had a bombadier rat bike painted in desert colors (1st iraq war) that was fun until some analy retentive totenham supporter tried to nick it. I suspect he had problems trying to find the battery.

nah i like customs bikes alot but rats bikes are not me :disapint: i like bikes to look like some one loves it :love2: not shit on it :unsure:

[TwoSeven]

Ahh yes, the RatShit mod - i'm not a fan of those either. Generally assoicated with anything that has the word Yamaha or Suzuki written on it.

Only if the features that make it a ratbike don't fall into the category of "dangerous or illegal fittings or features", and everything esle is up to a roadworthy standard (and why would you want to ride it if it wasn't?)

I wish the nerd/dweeboid beside me wouldn't insist on turning around to face me when talking on the phone, as if to say, "Look at me - I'm talking on the phone! I'm important!" Mind you, he does that whenever he's talking - you can hear him from the other end of the room. :angry2:
