Bluenote,
Were you around Denco when I was in there every day for a time and we were building a new Double Engine Chassis to replace my old one...I never use it and I think Marion Owens has it now...
Yea, I'll relay your message to Boris...

I'd imagine we met a few times , I had a whole long series of Denco triples that I ran at Fremont and around the Bay Area street scene in those days ( yeah I know we shouldn't have been running on the street , but we were young and there was money to be had , especially from the Honda crowd that thought the sun rose and set with R.C. engineering in those days) , learned a lot about proper launching from Tony N. and a whole lot about the motors from Dennis and a guy named Rusty who used to port for them.
Man this really does make the memories come flooding back , getting stopped in downtown San Jose once on a wicked Denco built 750 triple and the cops looking in vain for a way to ticket me for the wheeelie bars , they finally just wrote me for the slick and let it go.
Met a whole lot of people there , which led to a whole bunch of entertaining adventures that went on for years , trips down to the Pastrami Stand in L.A. ( bring your A game and money....) , moving to the big Suzukis and going to Daytona and hanging out at the Cabbage patch having my way with the big inch h/dS and the Honda crowd until Mike Bruso showed up on that nasty Sid Pogue built Kaw he rode back then , had a number plate on it that said 10.80..........YEAHRIGHT , that one cost me some money but I made it all back betting on him.
Damn , nostalgia. Now Denco is but a memory , along with R.C. , Action Fours and a whole host of others , V and H makes more money selling pipes for japanese cruisers and if I say Truett and Osborn the younger crowd looks at me strange.
