Beat the Brat

I came across a website about Brat Bikes. Evidently it's a popular style in Japan right now. It seems to involve taking a bobber, a chopper, and a cafe and throwing them into a blender. It's like you took apart your favorite GI Joe's and mixed and matched to make a super cool dude (and inevitably ending up w/ some bizarre dudes from the leftovers, but anyway...). It's, it's... alive!

I don't know why I'm rambling, but check out the site and the extensive gallery. There are some really unique, personal bikes in there. I dig it big time.

I was gonna buy a shirt from them but after getting a quote from the guy in Yen and converting it into USD it woulda been $72 inc s/h! Screw that. I'll just admire from afar.

 

Dig the tires and apehangers. I be this looks rad riding down the street. Real clean lookin, but bad ass.

Love the pipes, fork and even the seat and little sissy bar. It's like a pint size chopper.

Looks like the whole bike melted. Interesting rear red wheel.

Interesting straight pipes. Just looks fast. I dig the retro seat, too.

There are zillions of bikes on the site. Check it...
