rat bike
Rat bikes are motorcycles that have fallen apart over time but been kept on the road and maintained for little or no cost by employing kludge fixes.〔Walneck's Classic Cycle Trader, May 2005, Dominion Enterprises〕 Survival bikes look similar to but are different in purpose from ''rat bikes''; they are modified for stylistic reasons.
==Rat bikes==
The concept of keeping a motorcycle in at least minimally operational condition without consideration for appearance has probably characterized motorcycle ownership since its earliest days.〔 The essence of a rat bike is keeping a motorbike on the road for the maximum amount of time while spending as little as possible on it.〔American Motorcyclist (June 2004), "The Joys of Street Core", American Motorcyclist Assoc.〕 This calls for adaptation of parts that were not designed to fit the model of bike in question. While the origin of the term rat bike is unclear, it may be attributable to custom motorbike magazines,〔Easyriders September 1980, "86 Inch Rat Bike", Paisano Publications LLC〕〔Easyriders October 1987, "Rat Bike Returns", Paisano Publications LLC〕 and retrospectively applied.
Most rat bikes are painted matte black but this is not a requirement.〔American Motorcyclist (June 2004), "The Joys of Street Core", American Motorcyclist Assoc.〕
