In honor of motorcycle legend Denver Mullins, members of his original crew and Kayelynn Johnson, a preserver of Mullins' history, are bringing the largest collection of original Denver choppers to the 2012 Grand National Roadster Show.

Original Denver painters Fred Hernandez, Mike Craig, and Don Walker with the "Rainbow Bike."

In 1967, a young Denver Mullins opened his first shop with $120 in San Bernardino, CA. It was the smallest, yet greatest investment he ever made.  Sought after for their original custom frames, long front ends, and killer multi-color paint jobs, Denver's Choppers revolutionized motorcycle building in Southern California. Mullins' trademark long fork frontend, is just one of the things that makes his choppers so aesthetically pleasing. Mullins was also famous for being one of the best custom painters of his time.

"My Dream" Bike

 A huge fan of drag boat racing, Mullins often was a frequent participant in hydro racings. On October 4, 1992 while doing a test run on Puddingstone Lake in San Dimas California, Mullins' Top Fuel Hydro "Public Enemy" nose dived out of the starting gate and capsized. Unfortunately, his safety capsule failed to break away from the hull and he drowned before rescues crews reached him. Mullins is survived by his wife, Lynda, step-daughter, Lisa, and his legendary bikes.

These original bikes can be viewed January 27th-29th at the Fairplex in Pomona, CA. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see all of these bikes assembled under one roof.
