Frank Werts concept was to start a family tradition.
As he states:

"My son and I represent the third and fourth generations of riders in our family. Starting in the early to mid 1930's.  The photo is from my Grandparents honeymoon in 1937. It is my desire to keep the tradition going and show respect for the man who started it...MY Grandfather, and name sake...Frank Werts.  And the pretty girl riding with him, my Grandmother Alice Werts."

This project will have his grand parents riding their bike through the America Flag landscape across his fairing.
