In the Hot Rod world people do "build" Rat Rods on purpose. They don't get a fender-less 32 ford with a big motor by letting a stock deuce just waste away. The whole idea is to look like junk and blow the doors off unsuspecting fancy cars.

Now, since the motorcycle crowd, for the most part, isn't in to drag racing, I suspect most Rat Bikes are just ratty bikes. If they win awards, then they were probably purpose built.

a rats hole is cluttered with crap that a rat has acquired hence a rat bike is the same thing. It just evolves into it
