Default Master Bait Bike

As a fisherman I can appreciate this bike on several levels. I've talked to the owner and he is a character. He gets more comments on this bike then his BigDog.

I really like his saddlebags.

Love the seat. The pipe must get a little uncomfortable too...

I love these bikes! Not as crazy about the "true rat" - like milo has. I fully appreciate the miles and experiences that creates a bike like that, but wouldn't want to ride with all that crap on my bike.

The OP bike is awesome and I love a bike that basically says "function is more important than form". My 90 FLH is on its way to being there. I had lots of pitted chrome so I just wrappred everything tubular in black hockey tape. It looks good from a distance and is easily repaired. Just got done painting the whole bike (with the exception of my side panels) in truck bedliner - gave it a great flat black, textured look. Slowly taking off all the junk and making it my own.

I like rat bikes, the ones where you can tell they've been ridden and then some.

Not a fan of the "junk collectors", no offense meant to the owners, just my oppinion.

All I have an opinion about is that it is important what the owner/rider think of their bike. I am going to take a wild guess and figure they like it or would have something else...so fine by me.
