Las Vegas Bike Fest 07 - The Rat Bike

[Termax666]

It isnt a true rat bike, it is rather a survival-style custom.

[starguard]

That thing has no front brakes whatsoever :lol:

Aren't front brakes suppposed to provide like 70% of you stopping power? I dont see a clutch handle either

Cool!

[DeVoN420zz]

ugly gas tanks wtf

[usabadone]

This. Isn't. A. Rat. It's. Just. Ugly.

[powerofpaper]

This is not a ratbike, it is inspired by a ratbike.

[gwoody21]

outstanding. bravo!

[calibayne]

the kid is annoying. shut up already. cool bike.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

Fantastic dude.

[58tag]

Incredible if you were to look up rat bike in a dictionary a picture of this bike would be beside it!!!!

[RatkoUSA]

I like it.

[crackawise]

holy shit those floor boards are awesome...using a shoe sizer...brilliant!!!!

[Juustokauppias]

These are what they call 'Survivor' bikes, not rat bikes.

[444coho444]

great bike! nice job. Is one tank your reserve ?

[jimxxx666]

boutique rat.

[phileesarah]

dig the shoe sizer foot pegs!

[Oldsmobility455]

This bike is amazing. The only thing I'd change is, I'd rather have more pullback on the bars.

[starbuck680]

what the fuck is a rat bike?

[SKUMMASBAGGUS]

that aint a ratbike, theres chrome on it lol

[stopglobalswarming]

So how does it run? I like the propane bike idea.

[MrPrestonL]

well, one mans trash is another mans treasure, and that bike would be a treasure to me

[lukeyboy900]

there are way too many bikes at bike shows that aint ridable... thats another one... losing respect for all those "BIKERS" out there... build a bike you can actually ride....

[TRohr]

If you can't ride it, it isn't a bike.... Beauty with garbage? More like garbage with garbage- nothing more than an expensive ornament.

[dynamicchoppers]

@TRohr this gets ridden more than any bike you've ever owned

[dynamicchoppers]

@lukeyboy900 i guess riding it to sturgis and riding it to mexico didn't happed then...you are so wrong its funny, you must be the wanna be biker

[SpartanHunt3r60]

lol! yeah!

[FleshAndRazor]

OH this is something....i like it very much :)

[nyarltep]

[thechurchofdave]

Rat bikes are the shit!

That thing is way cool. :)

[Olledaum]

[alihs1]

[aussiedownunderman]

[soporaet]

that's a nice nice bike, but who ask the kid if he like it or not? lol

[thsensor]

The shoe sizers is what got me.

[Venom011]

rat bikes should never be chopper style bikes..

[dynamicchoppers]

@Venom011 cab you send me a copy of your rule book?

[berkelusa]

That looks like it would really take off some limbs if it was crashed.. mostly your NUTS!

[phill903]

None just cool!!!

[norseking]

What are those tanks? I've been looking everywhere for something like them that aren't $600 haha!

[OKflyboy]

"What are those tanks?"

They look like old fire extinguishers.

[phill903]

Thats a really cool custom not a ratrod love to owen it.

[synkronyk]

the difference is what?

[panhead55]

this bike was at the horse smoke out west... i took a second look...

[jlpdrz400]

how much would you pay for a ratbike? I bet this custom bike! cost an arm & leg! this video needs to be moved to customs not under rat bike!

[rrrrw999]

Is it fast? Looks cool!

[onearmbiker]

shit

[dynamicchoppers]

@onearmbiker fuck you

[takao24gaki]

滅亡を感じさせます。スバラシイ。

[edslides]

callin that a ratbike is an insult to ratbikes.you dont BUILD a rat bike. a rat bike BECOMES a rat bike, after many miles and

many beers. they are one owner bikes, because only the owner would be seen dead on it. this comes from the proud owner of a couple of rats over the years. still my favorite

[Oskinvold]

AMEN !!

[fusilier45]

@edslides,how terrific

[seigneurvoland666]

@edslides sell me one

[moluvsage]

@edslides All of my bikes are rats,like you I let them become rats on their own.I really hated when rats became parade floats were every little piece of crap was tied on to them.

[jettaracer94]

@edslides Youre a MoRon... get a damn life . Is this what you live for ? insulting peoples art?

Creating a ratbike is a ART. It takes a very free imagination to build something like this. I am on my 2nd ratbike build. Its a 2007 chinese bike and its a piece of shit. BUT..... it runs drives and looks pretty bad ass. RATBIKE building is a culture

[RatkoUSA]

@edslides a rat bike is a collection of (often mis-matched) parts from various models. It can also include non-motorcycle parts, such as a glass door knob for a shifter knob, or a couple brass fireplace poker handles for foot pegs (as examples). The rat bike is often rusty, primered, or sporting paint from different bikes, but not necessarily so. Basically a rat looks pieced together. Parts soup.

[batvette]

@edslides oh calm down, the way you propose people end up with their desired machine generally leaves them missing a limb and an eyeball anyway. lots of drunken riding, crashing into this and that, neglecting washing or repairing it for a decade... oh please can you teach me, I want to be like you and hope to gain your approval!

I DO get your point however, the situation is just not as enviable as you've convinced yourself it is.

[stefanoparodi92]

it's very very very very cool!!!

[motoman911]

Calling this a "rat bike" is an insult to whoever took the time to build it. Too many f-ing idiots out there that think because a bike is antiqued or lacks the "chrome factor" that its a "rat". Wise up you jerks. Trying to be cool using buzzwords they saw on occ. Jesus.

[BikerRussell]

OCC never mentioned or built a rat bike

[GREASEMONKEY72]

rats are cool, occ aint shit

[blu3shock]

so very true.

[dynamicchoppers]

@motoman911 send me a photo of your bike that you built?

[smokeynewton]

There's just somethin' cool about a rat bike. Never really cared much for the shiny crap.

[znallar]

That is a sweet rat, i love the tanks.
