Eyeballing the H-D Evo motor and H-D trans leads us to believe that loyalty and dependability are important characteristics to Wayne, and he probably tends to surround himself with people who embody these traits. The 3-inch open beltdrive, jockey shift setup, and kicker rather than electric start says to us that Wayne doesn't take the mechanical aspects of motorcycles for granted. He doesn't want to just jump on and ride mindlessly; he wants to become one with the bike, conscious of every moving component, melding to become a part of the machine he's riding.
Those were our thoughts on the bike and how we think it reflects Wayne's personality. Here's what Wayne told us about the bike. "I was going for a neo-bobber/boardtracker look with a lot of antique parts, but powered by a modern engine. I used a Ford tire cover for the rear fender, old H-D Hummer taillight, and an H-D turtle top trans. All my attention on this bike was geared towards having it look like there were parts missing. The bike was built to be light and fast and turn quick, all these things are needed here in the mountains of the northeast. No front brake, no battery, no starter, no hand controls; just a bare bones racer. We were sure to give this thing at least 5 inches of ground clearance and made the exhaust tuck up near the frame so it wouldn't scrape around corners.
"The frontend uses narrow trees with 2-inch under 41mm tubes and a super light spool wheel up front. The frame is a Paughco with all un-needed mounts and tabs cut away. We got the gas tank from a '68 Triumph 500 Daytona-it really looks fast and aggressive on the backbone. To really get into the turns the stance was made high, but very short to keep a racing feel."
All in all, we'd say Wayne did a pretty good job of achieving his neo-bobber/board tracker, because that's exactly what we see when we look at this bike: A beautiful racer from another era.
