I'll bet it smells good when it gets wet.

It reminds me of that new show on TLC called "Hoarders"...

I'd be surprised if the local LEOS haven't gone over his bike for safety issues.

"Rat" means different things to different people. I think the term is tossed around to much... i can see what I consider 'rat' elements underneath all of that garbage, yes, garbage... I said it. Throwing on, strap'n, and tape'n a bunch of crap into every nook and crany makes not a 'rat' bike in my definition of the word.

To each his own...

He'd probably have to pull off onto the weigh scales with the trucks. That thing wet would have to weigh a ton, literally!

LOL. Some of those homes you cant even see the floor from **** they collect. That bike should be quarantined . What a piece of crap. I don't care if its a Harley or not. He should have some Pride and trash that eye sore.

Chop.

Looks like a rolling platform for someone with an obsessive compulsive disorder to me. Garbage barge in the truest sense of the word.

This does not fit my definition of a rat bike. Rat bikes are built to run with whatever pieces are laying around, minimal, no chrome (unless its rusty chrome), no fancy paint, etc. To me this just looks like a cry for help...

but it's not by bike, and as long as the owner likes it that way that's all that matters.
