In a conversation about the current preference regarding 'not restored' and the excesses in that area, a vague motorcycle knowledge reacted enthusiastically with the cry: “Oh yes! Ratbikes! Nice!
Now we can also rate rat bikes mildly. But still: these days they are often 'conceived' rather than grown, than 'originated'. And the machines are simply 'old' instead of classic. In addition, many rat bikes nowadays are very indebted to the various 'Mad Max' films. That has too

The trend in the classic car and motorcycle world to make vehicles 'old & lived' also testifies to a certain decadence. We were surprised about that before.
But, if only out of respect for 'Old machines and things that pass', we argue for the adoption and preservation of classics that show that they have lived.
