Defining "rat" bike
#32
I am going to have to disagree on the pictured Harleys as being "Rat Bikes".
Those bikes are contrived, strategically placed can openers and catchy stickers require work.
A true "Rat Bike" is barely kept afloat by some lazy cat, and will have zero unnecessary doo-dads. A Rat Bike represents the pinnacle of a slacker.
Those bikes are obviously painstakingly created, and every single element was thought out beforehand. That is why we like them, we think it is haphazard, but it is art. A true Rat Bike is shitty in every department, aesthetically and mechanically.
Just my take.
