East Bay Rats

Don't know what would possess a motorcycle club to call itself rats; but there you have it.  Their website doesn't clear up the genesis of the name but indicates they've been around since at least 1997.  Their manifesto says they are dedicated to "riding really (bleeping) fast, drinking beer, eating red meat, and doing extraordinarily stupid things when drunk."  Despite all that testosterone, sounds like they have a sense of humor about themselves.  Spotted on San Pablo Avenue at about 30th Street.

    Interesting blog! I've included it on a site I've created, which is a compilation of some of the best blogs in the city.

    These days most bikers are guys in their 50s and 60s with walrus mustaches and 50 pounds of processed beer hanging over their belt buckles. I suspect some of that testosterone is mixed with hops.

    I'm all for laizzez-faire and live and let live until "doing extraordinarily stupid things" involves pain of any kind for others.

    [My thought about the mural blog was along the lines of http://abunchofbenches.blogspot.com where VP posts a bench a day from blogger friends who submit images. It would not be hard to create and publish a special gmail account where images with info could be sent... I myself do not have enough mural images to get this started, but if you want to, I will happily promote it and contribute. I wonder whether a distinction needs to be made between mural and graffiti?]
