I knew Herb better than any of you; I went to high school with him, shot trap with him, and rode in many of Herb's equipped cars. Herb's custom racing headers were in fact better than most stock (original equipment) high performance and racing cars. He knew this and wouldn't have been insulted at all - he'd have given what those of us who knew him best would term his 'jack-o-lantern' smile and gone back to welding his Krieghoff pigeon gun. The comment was made to illicit some of the popular hysteria of the "is it original" syndrome. Too bad I missed the mark. And yes, God rest his (sic) 'sole.'

Kevin,

I think you would like this HE, She sports 30" tubes and weighs 9 lbs 12 oz. The ball grip fills one's hand like a palm swell and makes her feel like part of one's body.

PS: If you knew the condition this HE was in a year ago you would praise me for my noble deed!

Mark
