Wayne had a love for his Harleys, eagles, Rock N Roll, and the USA. He loved to tour on his bike and tinker in his garage. He enjoyed camping, fishing, and time spent with his family.

Wayne climbed on his bike one last time and road off into the sunset with the wind in his hair shouting "HOOTIE HOO" to all he left behind.
