I love 'em. Can't afford one in the near future so I'd love to see yours!

did anyone here know Paladin? he used to hang out at TT Motors in Berkeley CA in the 70s. I think he was the originator of the rat-bike scene.

You can't afford one?? I don't think you understand the concept

Mine's not rat, but it's my goal

My bike is so rat, it ain't right. I'll fix it up though. Gonna be all black and nasty. I don't know how much street cred a Hondamatic can have, though.

The hot rod hullabaloo in Danville, KY. It's awesome. There are straight restorations there, but mostly rat rods and things like that.

Check www.Dillehaystreet.com for the info.
