yeah its not quite a rat bike, rats are dirty rusty thrown together, this is a bobber, which to me, a bobber is pretty much just like a retro 50s style bike, (my opinion) I like both but bobbers are probly my fav, nice bike!!
A "rat" bike is one that runs well and looks like it was slapped together out of whatever was available to the builder. If it has five different types of paint, thats ok. If you didn't have an air cleaner and cut up a beer can to make one, great! If it's greasy and mud covered, even better. Basically, if ti's an UGLY, beater of a bike that runswell, you've got a true rat!!
@MrRockitt3 You make alot of assumptions...like im 12 or I caused H1n1. or I use words like EPIC. and its entirely my fault the economy is collapsing. Are you a GPL'er?
The band is The Reverend Horton Heat. In the US in the 50's a "Rat Rod" was an early open hot rod with a monster engine paint flat black with or without flames or pin striping. Google Von Dutch and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. It all came out of Southern California
Well, if you trashed the rr fender, bars and front end, seat and sissy bar and painted it some other less sex with the same gender color and maybe throw a cool one off oil bag and clean up the cables and then do a burnout to destroy that rr whitewall. then i would complement you on your ride.
is this bike mostly comfortable for short fat people or maybe short in general.. i cant see my legs tucking anywhere besides the front wheel of this bike and im only 5 11' i m being a bit sarcastic.but. wow this bike is low
@iHackFlashGame bobber is usualy just a stripped down bike.. down to the bare necessities, and choppers the frames are most of the time custom. anyone correct me if im wrong
So you took a decent sportster chopper, gave it a rattle can black paint job, white walls and a short fender.....big F...ing deal!!! Way to go Jesse James! What an idiot.
dude, seriously, 'moltenone', this aint a bobber. what's with you guys? it's a chopper, what's the shame in that? nothing! so why call it something it aint.. ?
noone knows what the terms mean anymore, well they don't use them correctly... a bobber is i shortened in the rear, usually made into a hardtail, with a springer seat, inverted handlebars... and everyone now thinks it's a chopper when the fork has been raked... true chops and bobs were about taking away anything that was unnecessary... and a rat is a bike that is low budget, put together in the cheapest way possible, not just flat black and red rims... same with kids and their "rat rods"
i dont understand why people link red wheels and white walls with "rat" that bike was put together pretty well.. i see rat as random shit put together to make it work, random engineering... that bike is just a bobber
That is the faggiest looking Tacky Teutul piece of shit ,I ever saw. Cock sucker special! That is a rigid frame! Only dipshits after 1984 started calling that a hardtail! Get the black spray can!
I agree with two previous comments. A lot of people nowadays don't know the differance between a rat bike and a bobber. This bike is definately way too awesome to be a rat, it's definately a bobber. Rats are cool in their own way too. The trashed up, $1000, flat black, dirt coated suzuki on my front lawn is a rat bike. Cheers, beautifully Harley, man! The paint job is brilliant!
