Welcome Gary. Do you ride on the street at all these days? The reason I ask is we have had a relay for SOHC fours, going on for 2 years now. The first year, we did go through Kingman, thanks to a few fellows there with Denver's choppers. Perhaps you know of them? We are now in the planning stages of this year's relay: maybe Kingman should be included in the route once again?

Denvers Choppers......thats who I bought the CR750 trans from back in 85!They had all kind of CR stuff at the time!

WOW,Bill

Denvers Choppers, Denver Mullins was a cool guy. I knew him well. A friend of mine still has a original Denvers cb750 chopper. I still remember the first time i tried to ride that thing with the long a$$ extended front end.

What a b!tch !!

I live just a couple of miles from the original location of the shop. It was a very sad day when Denver crashed his drag boat and drowned.

His partner Mondo is a cool dude also. He is still carying on with Denvers Choppers in Reno, Nevada.

Yeh,his year didn't get off to such a good start!!! Asleep on the line that day or had problems? Sam,the cool thing was had he cut the same light as me...we still covered him by .009,and chopped the throttle rt before finish!!! It was a great day!!

I whipped him 3 times that year in top sportsman myself on my Kaw. He hated it. I managed to finish the year in 4th place. I don't think he made the top 10.

You guys started his streak of bad luck.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #33 on:** February 12, 2013, 04:35:14 PM »

Nothing to do with me mate, I just supplied the bike.

it was all Benton's fault.

I used to write a monthly drag racing column called "Quarter Mile File" in Hot Bike Magazine back when Paul Garson was the editor.

Jay, i have probably most of them....I remember heading to seattle one weekend to see the Terminal Van Lines Kawi dragster, but it was pretty rainy so we opted out..would have liked to see that run..you probably remember the bike..

Big Jay · « **Reply #40 on:** February 13, 2013, 09:45:13 PM »

Yes. I saw Bo run the 7.03 at Ontario. Got to know Mike Grey later when he raced with Elmer. Great stories about that deal.

Gary's Honda was 1170cc,Web cam,37.5 mm carbs,Mikunis off a dirt bike,Byron bored them as close to 38 as they could get,intakes 38mm,ex 34mm.RC cylinder,golden rods,I believe he said,Byron did the head,Gary the chassis.Guys, before Gary worked at ATP,he was Yosh's manager on the West coast.Jim had a real interesting discussion on the turbo's we running,etc.
