But so did Denis Dean.

Hi tomcat,
In regards to your mention of pictures of a new Denco triple triple drag
bike I would appreciate if you could email me a picture or two as I had
no luck in accessing and viewing it. In the mid 70’s I was a proprietor
of JK motorcycles 69 Lt. Latrobe street Melbourne. Victoria Australia.
During my earlier years I used to run H2s, that is in,
speedway sidecars and drags. And it was about this time that I acquired
the Denco triple triple (Silverbullet) and totally rebuilt it. I will
send you some pictures with this email to use on your site and for you
to see how it has evolved and how it looks now as I still have the bike
in my possession. Also, I would like
to get in touch with
Denis Dean, Boris Murray or Dennis Manning of Bub Enterprises if anyone
knows of their whereabouts. Regards to all triple enthusiasts out
there

As big as this doughnut looks it's not nearly enough to handle the horses

Aircraft 24 volt startermotor used to fire the bike
can be seen on bottom pic still on and Pomme Pete sure looks happy on
a blend of victoria bitter and Castrol R fumes
More pics of Joe and Pomme Pete
Checking to see if i could bring the motors more rearward
to apply more weight to the rear wheel

I,ve found a few snaps of some of my speedway H2 sidecars that the
silverfish haven't got to,from left Joe, centre Sonny, and my passenger
Rossy
"Here seen fitting a Suzuki T350 tank as H2 one decided to leak ,these
bikes
were run at night meets on quarter-mile and on half-mile and speeds of
100
to 110mph were common."

"A slightly clearer pic"
"Silverbullet was rebuilt in
these premises"
One of three test H2,s used for my own development of
port specks,heads,chambers etc. Neville Doyle of Team Kawasaki Aust, many
thanks for releasing equipement my way to enhance this project.
Heres another, time trials at Calder Park,it had a strong
motor but used to kill clutches and gearboxes
Tom,
I'm sending you some pic's of what you could say are one of the offspring
of the triple triple so to speak,it's based on a pair of my twenty odd
spare motors that i used to have race ready.I think that you'll agree
with me that he's done quite an admirable job on his first rendition of
a double Specs are:-2-149hp 792cc motors:-Reworked 38mm mikuni's:-Motors
coupled by Uniroyal htd 8mm pitch belt:- crankshaft ends splined,and coupled
to a KZ 1000 box running a dry clutch.Owner is my mate of around 27 yrs{Billy}
Emmauel Calleya:-Bike name;- Built To Be Wild. Joe
This one is a bit crappy as its been walked on in his
workshop.

Tom,
I can only tell you what he said to me after not seeing each other
for around 15 yrs when i tracked him down and asked him about the motors
and chambers i sold him when he took me to a sealed section of his garage
and said there are and my eyeballs clapped on this finished product.He
said that in various testing the bike was very quick and was a handfull
as even in the higher gears it wheelstands .He's agreed when i can produce
some decent plates that we'll take it out on some back road do a runs
so i'll keep you posted. Attached is a pic of Bill himself when he turned
up with wheelbarrow full of money attempting to buy the triple of me,don't
let his calm looks fool you in this snap he's an animal on a bike
Joe
