Ok, I got a mercy case here....

We got a new young man in our shop now. Name's Patrick. Bodybuilder, looks like Superman and that's his unofficial name around here. Works hard and has a great attitude.Doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs or eat junk foods. Seems to have his head on pretty damn straight.

Slowly bringin him under my wing...(poor soul ). Anyway...he wants a bike. Has ridden before and has around $1000-1500 to spend, doesn't care what kind. So...I would personally and deeply appreciate everyone putting out their feelers and see if we all cant fix him up with somethin. He is a pretty BIG fellow, so I am thinkin cruiser of some sort.

Let's hook this potential Bro to the forum family up, waddya say Y'all?

I say let him find his own bike. But dont tell him I said that. He might tear my head off. On the other hand. I think he will need at least a 1100cc to pull him around. So keep an eye out for something around that size or bigger.

I am thinking if he walks in with $1500 he might just be able to walk out with it.

Sweeeeet. Am printing it out so I can take it to him tomorrow. Thanks Bro.

Not a problem. That is the one that I started to go after, but I thought better of it.

Looks like a pretty nice ride, super low miles for the age and could likely be gotten for a good bit cheaper.

Will show that one to him too. I knew you guys would be awesome.

My buddy Tommy just bought an 05 vulcan 800 with 104 miles on it today! It's nice to see someone who really wants to be on two wheels finally make it happen!
Here's a shadow 1100 in Saucier Miss for $1700 could probably get him below $1500 with cash in hand. Great bikes.

Noted, and thanks. Dadgum printer wont print for some reason, but I will get him the info if I have to write it manually.

It'll probably need a new tank at some point but it's rideable for now and that's mighty cheap for a shadow 1100.

Email them to me. We can print them at work.

Can you print the links in this thread to the bike ads?

Yea. Remind me tomorrow and we can show him the bikes on my laptop. Then we can print them out for him.

Awesome. You guys are teamin up to get Superman a scooter!

Man that 1100 shadow is a deal! He better jump on that one or I might........ not..

You really want to bump Superman for a scoot, weirdbeard?

Thanks for the idea Hayweed, that will work great.

Somehow, I don't think he would keep from noticing the lack of power needed to keep up....

Good one Weirdbeard.

Just posted on Craigslist....

Thanks. I will pass that one on as well. I showed him the number for the 1100 Yamaha for $900 I saw on there as well today. He is off tomorrow and the last thing I said to him was "GET A DAMN BIKE. DON'T MAKE ME HURT YOU, SUPERMAN!!!!"

The purple one seems nice, besides the purple paint.

Oooooh....Hayweed is SO gonna getcha....

Whats wrong with purple? I dont see anything wrong with purple.

OK so did you guys find Superman a bike?
