Things to know
Manny's shop is where your bike build starts. Nitrous I lets you jump gaps to reach helicopter wrecks and other loot, and Saddlebags I store spare ammo you refill at the merchant. Both need trust level 2 at Copeland's. Bike trophies run through him: First Time Buyer for the first upgrade, and Farewell Original for buying a Performance, Visual and Paint upgrade. The Art of Bike Repair asks for 100 scrap on repairs, and Make It Rain for 20,000 credits spent at one camp. Two collectibles are his: Happy Birthday Stud and Zen and the Art of Bike Repair.
