Star of the Month

Gangster Road Star

Owner Wayne Horlick

My fascination with modifying motorcycles all started a few years ago with my first bike purchase of a Honda Aero. Fully customized: black chrome and whitewalls. After selling that bike, I purchased an '03 Yamaha Road Star Midnight and it all began. I told my dealer I wanted the bike raked to 40 degrees. They said no problem and wheeled it into the machine shop and performed the work. However, when I said I also needed some Dunlop white walls, they gave me a hard time. They said white walls on a Midnight Star ... are you crazy? Well, with help from Sam from Broward Motorsports, after they delivered the bike to me, I started adding a few items as you see from the list, and I never turned back.

The bike started getting lots of looks and winning awards. I was the owner of a metric accessory store at the time, so it made it a lot easier getting the stuff I needed to make the bike what it is today. For some reason, I'm stuck in the past. I love the gangster look--black chrome with some white walls. On a sad note, I was at a local show at Broward Motorsports and a guy asked if it was for sale and how much. I gave him a price and he said where do i sign. I will be back real soon with another Roadie. Gauranteed.
