What is a Brat Bike

[Davestune]

Thank you BBQ for setting me straight,
I went full moe, larry cheese, foaming at the mouth.
This i could not control as my anger issues make we want to stab these homos on thise hideous shit
So is this a Old School. Bike via dumb ass sheltered life.
Sorry i lost it but those beards and hair cuts make me nuts
I think ill stick to my junk i build

Brat bikes need a rear hoop that hits the tire

TL : DR My homophobia is cover for my profound lust for men

BBQ

it is fine. You wear leather. You enjoy the company of men. You gain power from pointing out their fashion faux pas. It's the 21st century. Eat the sausage if you want to, kehd. No one cares. Just stop filling up the junkpile with the google search folders fueling your frustration/masturbation. It's boring. Not Avon shitposting like a methhead on brake cleaner but close.

It's popular because it's easy to do by discarding parts (as were bob jobs...) and affordably practical because it usually uses bikes no one wants for anything else. Brat is a descendant of 1980s pseudo-cafe conversions of the same UJMs. When you get the bike for a hundred bucks it leaves room for mods.

HDs are out of reach in most of the world. The US is the only place they are relatively cheap. Ditto vintage Britbikes which are so high elsewhere buyers export them from the US.

It is true. Even to some stuck-up limey. All this contrived male grooming is gay as fuck . I'm off to shave my head so I can't be mistaken for a fag hipster.

THESE are real cafe racers. https://www.rideapart.com/articles/2...e-early-years/

Rat bike was/is generally any cosmetically trashed motorcycle that's ridden (i.e. not a wreck) but there were a few, now many, who threw in extra shittiness as folk art like hanging stuffed rats off their garbage wagon. Fauxtina (faux patina) is popular because the bike supply is reduced to shit that's not worth restoring and posers (see also, "rat rods") are scraping up the last available junk. Fine with me, but not calling it what it is is bullshit.

Steampunk is using random styling elements from the past for form and not function. The artist is disconnected from knowledge of that era. Done right it can be interesting, but it's as silly or not as other folk art and if you like the original artifacts of that era you'll understand why artists divorce form from function since that function is obsolete.

Brat, see my previous post.

Bobber = ancestor of the chopper from when the mods were functional. Slowly transitioned to chopper when the folk art aspect took over in the 1960s. Term is now debased because of illiterates, but so is American "English".

Bonneville style apes simple LSR bikes.

Drag bike is a very old term for a drag racing motorcycle as drag car is for automobiles. Pick an era, image search pics.

Trackers imitate flat track race bikes, easy to do since most of the mods involve removing parts. Trackers are the most functional of all the above styles. The classic track look is the HD XR-750. Kept alive in walled garden race classes it's had a long, popular run.

The Evo Sporty dumped all the Ironhead deadweight and (except for lack of dual carbs) became a popular platform for "trackers". It's an unusual combo of functional modifications that improve on the original machines.

Na man ,a rat bike was usually the drunk mother fuckers bike that got beat on and fucked up and anything done to keep it on the road. Good people's and biker trash alike. No cash no fix. Fuck it was the tude, actually brings back memories when i lived in cambridge.
Man we use to rat pack through boston getting fucked up..

Thanks Bruh.... I think I have you cross referenced into 2 of my google folders... "Man Buns" & "Beard Model Motorcycle"

What do I wear when I'm rumbling up Rt100 in VT, leather or flannel??? I already own leather as you know and not really that much of a flannel wearer...especially since all the SOA wannabe douchebags made designer flannel part of their outfits. Chicks and the gender fluid wear "outfits" I wear clothes. Is there a pub in Granville?? I've ridden through there many times and theres literally nothing but a convenience store and I assume houses set back 5 miles from the road.......where are we getting a nice IPA, a Stout, or at the risk of hyperextending my pinky a nice Saison????? I think we'd have a lot of laughs! Shit...I may drag Hillcat on the way....Davestune won't go his precious Knuckle is too good for anything off Cape hahahahah
