THIS IS NOT!!!! THE ORIGINAL RATBIKE.ORG, BUT AN ARCHIVE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT.
Called the Terminator.... this XL250 had Rats living in it! I rode it around the bush in Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
Note the radiator hose as a muffler to shut it up as I sneaked along the road to get to the bush... When I got there I would hang the hose in a tree
(if I didn't blow it off) and pick it up on the return trip.
This thing was totally worn out but wouldn't DIE... and sounded Great. A true old Thumper!
The seat was some old carpet underlay that would regularly fall off and needed replacing before the next ride - Total Rat!
The other pic is the XL's travelling companion The Super Benley XR... Ferral. But at least it has a seat!
