Notes: Article in 10/6/66 Drag Times has Bowker losing a match race to the Chevy-powered bike of E.J. Potter ("The Michigan Madman") at Motor City Dragway in St. Clair, Michigan. - RT | Info added by Dan Bowker 2/22/2014: Photo plus text: I hardly ever kept track of my ET or MPH. Most of the time I ran the bike was for exhibition and just smoked most of the 1/4 mile and didn't get much traction with the old M&H tires. When I first started riding the bike I found out when it started to hook up it would raise the front wheel, so after that, when I felt the engine start to bough I'd just roll on more power and keep the tire loose. I learned that lesson the hard way. About the first time I made a hard pass, it hooked up, I pulled the chute, the bike stopped and I slid for 700 feet. I went through the lights on my, butt at 168.94 (I remember that pass). That was when I added the air dam over the front wheel. That fixed the problem and kept the forks pretty much squashed. So as long as I was not racing anyone I just let it eat. Most promoters just wanted to see smoke anyway. I built the bike in 1960 and ran it until about 1975 I guess. I was in Gainesville Fl. And tipped the can a tad too much and blew my cool injected motor to pieces. I sold it to a Friend here in Florida to restore it. He sold it to Bruce Della in Mass. I am not sure who has it now. I lived in Owosso, Michigan, when I built the bike and had Logghe Stamping Co. build the frame. I was one of the first to use a Crowerglide clutch. Thanks, Dan

Notes: I hardly ever kept track of my ET or MPH. Most of the time I ran the bike was for exhibition and just smoked most of the 1/4 mile and didn't get much traction with the old M&H tires. When I first started riding the bike I found out when it started to hook up it would raise the front wheel, so after that, when I felt the engine start to bough I'd just roll on more power and keep the tire loose. I learned that lesson the hard way. About the first time I made a hard pass, it hooked up, I pulled the chute, the bike stopped and I slid for 700 feet. I went through the lights on my, butt at 168.94 (I remember that pass). That was when I added the air dam over the front wheel. That fixed the problem and kept the forks pretty much squashed. So as long as I was not racing anyone I just let it eat. Most promoters just wanted to see smoke anyway. I built the bike in 1960 and ran it until about 1975 I guess. I was in Gainesville Fl. And tipped the can a tad too much and blew my cool injected motor to pieces. I sold it to a Friend here in Florida to restore it. He sold it to Bruce Della in Mass. I am not sure who has it now. I lived in Owosso, Michigan, when I built the bike and had Logghe Stamping Co. build the frame. I was one of the first to use a Crowerglide clutch. Thanks, Dan, 2/22/14
