Submitted by Bob Clark: Back in the early 70's Roger "Raja" King of Metalflake Cassano and I owned Chopper Specialties in Stanton, CA and Cycle Painting in Anaheim, CA. The Denver Choppers based bike in the photo was my personal ride that I built in my apartment. Went to work for Street Chopper/Hot Bike in 1974 and was the Editorial Director for the bike magazines and many other titles until 1995 when I retired. I now own a small marketing company catering to the custom motorcycle and automotive markets.
The bike has a Denver frame, 30" over Denver's springer, Paughco tank and fenders, Invader wheels, Moon oil bag, AEE lights and pegs, all chrome 96" Shovel and accessories fabricated at Chopper Specialties. Of course the paint was brilliant metalflake by Raja.

That's Bob Clark in the photo, circa 1969/70.
What marketing company does Bob Own?
Bob's company is real low key, he does not want to publicly announce his contact info. He's selective with who he takes on as clients (he doesnt want a 100 people calling him to promote their shitty parts)!
