I helped a young man out today!

**nsb22** · 06-18-07, 10:39 PM

So this youngin buys a sport bike last year. The other day he gets stopped by the police doing all sorts of stupid things and ends up with a couple of thousand in fines. I offered to by that mean old machine that made him do those illegal things!

I'm such a giver!!!

These aren't pics of the actual bike, but it is the same year, style and color, or colour for you foreign folk.

Believe it or not, it hasn't been laid down while moving. It has taken a spill or two while parked, but that is fine with me. I will end up buying a left side mirror though. It does come with new front brake pads, frame sliders, oil and filters , license plate mount and mechanics manual.

PS. PLEASE don't tell my wife. I guess now I have to buy her a friggin mini van.

What a kind soul you are!

Nice ride and that color is sweet! Got a matching helmet? Gives you an excuse to get a fresh brain bucket

**Tony** · 06-18-07, 10:45 PM

I'll accept color, but geez, you are such a giver and a kind soul. That kid is sooooo lucky you came across him . . .

. . . but you be safe now!!!!

Ummmmm, he wouldn't maybe have a Harley sitting around he may want to get rid of?

I'd be willing to do my share. (Toward helping this poor, unfortunate lad out - - - of course.)

I don't. My lid a leathers are blue/white/black. I do need a new bucket, but I don't think I'll be getting a red one. I might, but I doubt it!

No, but I understand he has a Mustang 'vert for sale! I don't know if it was a GT or a V6.

I just know his mom was freaked out when I rolled up in my GT!

My preference in street riding gear would be ICON. Great stuff at good prices. Can find some good deals on EBAY. If it was bigger than a 750, I might have to join the club of do-gooders and offer to take it off of YOUR hands. Sold my CBR-1000 when I moved from sunny So Cal to the sticks...

A couple thousand in fines? If he was going that fast he may as well have kept going until he got to the next state

That's a nice bike. Does run on Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's?

Ahhhh, rhino...I take it you would be an HD guy? See, thats always been my problem...I prefer to RIDE a motorcycle as opposed to FIX a HD...

man, I feel some neg rep coming...LMAO

as long as its got 2 wheels, and your face in the wind...its all good.

**Rhino** · 06-19-07, 02:20 AM

I'm probably going to be buying a Honda within the next year or so. I think HD's are way over priced for the quality of their bikes. Definitely overrated. But I do prefer cruisers over crotch-rockets, yes.

John Deere 322 FTW!

Wait, how'd we get on mowers?

I'm for bikes which don't require spinal alignment. Choppers are out, so are crotch rockets. Hook me up with a nice sport cruiser and I'm all smiles.

For mowing, I chose the John Deere too... (my Ztrak makes two acres absolutely effortless, bad thing is I can't get my kid off of it long enough for Dad to have a turn).
