Jackson West, editor of SFist, attended a soiree thrown by the East Bay Rats — a motorcycle club as devoted to rat bikes as they are to foxy boxing and N'awlins second-line processionals. West, whose write-up appears today, captured all the fisticuffs and a few vehicles, including a Chevy Nova with a stripper pole sprouting from the roof, on which a half-dozen burlesque hotties made their sequins-sparkling entrance. Sounds just like Yahtzee night at the Jalopnik headquarters, minus, um, everything. Click through for more photos and notes from the man himself.

The stripper pole, sans strippers.

"A classic Mustang of death."

"The Barracuda (?) of death. We think the blower is just for show, but if it isn't, how awesome is that?"

"Another float car — looks like an old Civic (?). How much fun would that be to take out on a Saturday?"
