DUNLAP, Tenn. — Corky Coker has a distinct eye for vintage motorcycles, seeing the potential in the lump of old, rusty parts. He says he doesn’t have the time, or the patience, to rebuild them.

But he found someone who does.

Several years ago, he met Dude Layne, of Dunlap, who restored antique cars. They struck up a friendship and began restoring classic motorcycles. They’re up to 10 and counting, including Harley-Davidson, Emblem, James, Indian and Excelsior models.
