ZOMG! I am so embarrassed. What was I thinking? That bike is SO Cool!! I guess I didn't look at your image close enough. It has many nice touches and does seem to fit the Rat Rod Style. I think it was just the shiny paint that made me think it wasn't very ratty. A can of grey or black primer would fix that though. Great build, Man! i can't wait to see your next project!

ps. I never ever said PA sucked! I have relatives there! Ride On Brudda!!

It seems that there are as many ideas as to what defines a "rat rod" or "chopper" as there are people who build them. To me a rat rod is an old piece of crap looking bike that ticks like a fine watch and a chopper is a bike with outlandishly long forks. I'd describe your bike as a stocker with apehangers. As for the crack about the beach it was directed at the "HATE" guy (can't recall his screen name at this moment), before i noticed you are also from PA. As far as I know, the only "beach" in PA is the "shore" of Lake Erie. Search threads started by me to find pics of my bike. Then you can comment on it's appearance.

to be a ratrod simply means backyard construction with whatever means available to you, without the "conventional" need for fluffy upholstering and shiny new parts, and a chopper is a bike thats been CHOPPED AND OR RAKED-OUT!
THATS ALL! all the rest of the bickering is simply a bunch of hens squaking bout stylistic differences!
...and mine's 100% rat, apehangers and all! I think your thinking of a BOBBER...

A second on that!It's very obvious all of yourself you've put into your bike.I've built three and I would consider them Plain Janes in comparison.They"re categorized as My Bikes.
