Rat Patrol was on its best behavior, eating things from the trash not normally considered edible. It's important that they see how we do.

There they are, Megulon 5 and Silken, the Elder Statesmen of modern mutant bike culture. The Orville and Wilbur of choppers. Funny how if you didn't know it you'd think they were just a coupla dweebs.

Now THIS is a true Rat Bike. No welds... one bolt in each fork junction... held together by hose clamps, electrical tape, and hope.

I love this picture because I can only think of one situation which would leave two frozen chickens strapped to a bike rack, and that's a rat ride.
