Spotted a 1st generation Rat bike

Hello: We live in a town of about 25,000. I have seen most every local bike. But last night on the way to supper I pulled up along side a modified 1st Gen. bike with a local license plate. It caught my eye. No trunk, home made padded back rest and wide flat luggage rack made out of thin aluminum boiler plate painted black. I noticed the area on the left side where the CB and such used to be is also filled in with Aluminum boiler plate. Everything else looked stock. I did not recognize the rider but I am sure I will see the bike again. The bike had louder muffers and the rider was making them talk. My wife even mentioned how much performance the bike had.

To be honest I would really like to find a rat rod project VR. I bet without the bags, trunk, compressor, yada yada yada it would be a beast.

Or I could just get careless with brake fluid again and use the one I have.

I've rode the "Blue Beast" with everything pulled off it. Completely different ride!! I may have got 125 mph in 3rd had I tried it then..,
