1. RATBIKES |
|
Ratbikes are trashy looking motorcycles. The
most seeing form of ratbikes are just matt-finished bikes (cityrats) or
just bike which are not maintained very well. Just let it rust and the
bike starts to look uglier. Sometimes people starts to go further, and
they mount some ugly parts like bones and garbage at it for a rawer
look. Also think of gasmasks as headlight, pur-foam bikes, burned down
but still riding bikes, open electrics etc. It's the art of making
some ugly as possible!

The most ugly form of ratbikes are the garbage rats! Garbage rats are the most recognisable style of ratbike. When people think of ratbikes, they think of a bike hung full of bones, rotten animals, cans, beerbottles and more ugly shit. well, these bikes really exist!

Survivalbikes a bit different from ratbikes. Where rats are in fact bikes which are not maintained very well, survivalbikes are more 'designed' bikes. I think it's the most free and wide form of customising, everything is possible, but it has to look raw! Here you see some choppers, but not 'normal' choppers. A raw engineering combined with a raw matt-black finish made these bikes very special! Instead of the looks of a shiny chromy trailer-queen these bikes look like a harsch riding machine!
Survivalbikes are the rawest bikes you can find. mostly well engineered of all kinds of parts you can imagine! Think of matt coloured bikes with lots of scrap-metal on it, mostly modificated frames or even build from scratch. English style bikes are famous because their MadMax alike style, raw bikes with staring double headlights, high mounted frontfender, modificated exhausts and dirt-bike influences. Also there are lots of survivaltrikes in UK (mostly build of Reliants, Volkswagens or V8 engines. Survivalbikes are seen most in England and Scandinavie because their laws allows (or allowed?) them to muild extreme creations.
