Rat-bikes: homebrew motorcycles like Mad Max meets HR Gigers
Yesterday, I posted about a home-made motorcycle that looked completely amazing, like something out of Mad Max.
BMEZine's Shannon pointed out that this is part of a genre of motorcycles called "rat bikes," which has an avid community of developers around the world.
Ratbikes.org has enormous galleries of rat bikes of great beauty and coolth, madcap homebrew motorcycles that look like the lovechildren of HR Giger and the Addams Family's hearse.

(Thanks, Shannon!)
