There are rat bikes and there are rat bikes. Some are ratty just because they aren't lavished with cosmetic care and some are people with a lack of style who are trying to imitate the honesty of the former type. Like most things, I like some rat bikes and others leave me thinking that they could be a nice bike if someone else got a hold of it and undid all the damage and corny stuff.
Oh, and then there are the bikes that have a junk shop attached to them, doll's heads, fur wrapped thingies, plumbing parts strategically placed, etc. I've seen a few of those that are (to me) truly inspired pieces of art.
(That bike ain't one of those in my eyes.)

No, but I'll bet it is just right in his eyes, which I think we all agree that that is what counts most.Chuey wrote:(That bike ain't one of those in my eyes.)
It probably even has oil in the gearbox. (Yeah Jean, I see ya...)

Rob, I was attracted to the AMMO boxes...they look familiar.
but oil IN the gearbox is important, too.
