Hi guys, I know it’s been way too long since I’ve been on the website. I don’t know how many of you knew him but I just found out that Howard Abel (Howie) passed away about a year ago. All I know was that he passed in his sleep. Howie is an F’er from way back. He club raced a CB1100F in the central California area BITD. He was the guy that built ‘Da Beast’ that I bought and later Jes bought from me. I think he still has it?
Anyway, I don’t think he was ever active here but he was a damn good F’er! |

That's sad to hear Martin, glad to see you back here. I seem to recall Howard built up a pretty trick Blackbird after he sold you da'Beast? |

VERY SAD to hear that.
Howard was a wealth of knowledge that he openly shared.
A BIG LOSS for sure. |

When I first joined this forum that bike was "current" and had lots of attention and was pretty much the standard for F builds.
Brings back lots of memories.
RIP to Howard. |
