Company:I started this business from a blank slate, asking the obvious questions and creating a business model around the answers we found along the way. What up with the Name? h some kid saying to me "Dude, that is a Phat Rat bike. so I
started playing with the name. Fat man on a rat bike kind of stuff. then rat
fink kept popping up in my life as if to send me a message, so I began to look
for Rats like rat fink to put on a rat bike and have a play on words all the way
around just to confuse people. what does it really mean, I have not got a clue
but it just sounds like it will be something people will remember which is the
point of a name and logo and fits the biker life
well.
what is a Rat bike. Well I ride what is called a RAT bike, it's not clean or shiny cause I am too busy riding it. I have a low budget and make many parts my self,
fix it my self and do road side repairs that work so they stay that way, duct
tape and all.
What with the logo?
