Well there are rats and there are rats... I do not like garbage rats the ones piled with crap and mud wether its a car or a bike. I like to defien rats as bikes or cars that are a bit unfinished and are wearing their well earned patina.
This bike was spray canned by a meth dealer. The chrome is both fading and peeling. The entire engine and carbs are covered in an atomic strength black wrinkle finish that looks like a toddler drunk on sour milk finger painted...
The aluminum is oxidized. The hayashi wheels are stained. The only really nice thing is the seat and that doesnt even have a coat of paint on it!
So for me rat cafe fits and I am sticking too it.
Ridable patina-ed functional rough art.
Where is the rat?
Most rat bikes are just sprayed with a couple cans of flat black and some animal horns taped on somewhere.
This bike looks much better. Like someone actually cared and used some skill.
