chassis998#

These textures are in a folder titled "chassis998", along with a model named "bike998". The textures have the text "PLACEHOLDER", "PH FALL BACK", and "998" written on them. It is worth noting that playable bikes are named "chassis101" through "chassis116". The bike names then skip to 998 for this fallback.
