Any Rat Bikes?

Well???????????
Well, after sitting in my garage for a week, I discovered mice had chewed through the Battery Tender lead and made a nest in the empty space where a tool pouch should have been provided by Honda. Does this qualify as a "Rat Bike" even though technically it is a "Mouse Bike" casualty!

Mama mouse got away, but three pinky mice immediately went into my corn snake terrarium, so it wasn't a total loss!

Mouse repellent pouches from Amazon on the way!

When storing a motorcycle away for the winter I always surround it with sticky traps, spring traps, and rat poison. Its also I good idea to tape over the muffler and air intake.

So by definition a "rat bike" is made up of an amalgamation of parts from other makes/models of machines, right? I threw a pair of old foot pegs from the parts bin on, that I think came off my zx9. And a CRF80 front sprocket. That's as rat as I've gone so far.

I think groms are too new for people to be willing to strip them down enough to really be rat bikes. But maybe in a year or two if/when damage occurs to more bikes people will rat them out.

I did get some cool mouse decals that I wanted to put on my bike tho that doesn't make it a rat bike.
