i take it your not into cars then much neka? it started out with hot rodders i believe... i dunno ... google it

?

but yeah. basically restoring a car (or with rat bikes, a motorcycle), not making the body seem like its been restored though, with the cars theyre fairly customised, im not sure about bikes though.

my idea of a rat bike though is probably, crossing a streetfighter with a bucket of rust and several shades of primer

from wikipedia

A rat rod is usually a vehicle that has had many of its non-critical parts removed. They are usually finished in primer-like paints and are often period correct. They are very often the conglomeration of parts and pieces of different makes and models. A lot of rat rodders do not consider their cars rat rods but hot rods and prefer the term Hardcore Rod rather that "rat rod".

and some images for you nice folk

i guess its the same as who would want a streetfighter? or ... lol a harley..or a honda

and i like my POS

edit: WHOA! finally seeing goslings pics, it looks extreme, but SOOOOO fake, i mean, not fake as a bike or skeleton, but fake in that its silver, but doesnt look like metal or anything, you can tell its just a TONNE of fiberglass or moulded stuff.
