According to the press release, Yamaha Motor Co have reconfigured the thirty year old machine so Wayne can ride it using handlebar controls only.

I guess with modern electrickery and the factory’s know how it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to fit some kind of push button quick-shifter system to enable him to ride it and for people to ‘catch him’ at the end of the run to assist him.

I think it will be a really moving experience to see him ride again- for one rider to never really have been ‘a crasher’ though out his career to have had it ended so cruelly by what was considered in the 500 era to have been a not overly huge off was very sad.
