lanesplitting

Riding your motorcycle between endless lanes cars on the freeway.

Damn this traffic jam! If I were on my crotch rocket I could be lanesplitting all the way home!

live-work loft

An apartment constructed in pseudo-industrial architectural style that lacks interior walls, doesn't meet residential building codes, doesn't pay property taxes, and brings suburban yuppies into the city where they drive noisy nightclubs out of commerically zoned neighborhoods.

The rents on those new live-work lofts downtown are outrageous! It must be all the kickbacks for Da Mayor.

I painted over the dent with rattlecan black; now it's a ratbike.
That idiot thought he could camouflage a stolen crotch rocket with rattlecan paint.

urban assault vehicle

ratbike

A motorcycle bought for less than $1000, repaired and kept in what resembles working order with whatever parts will work, and painted (if ever) with a black rattlecan.

I don't need to keep it locked up in my garage; it's just a ratbike.
