The Henderson motorcycle community lost a good friend recently. Carl Vandre passed away on February 7, 2008.

Over the years, Carl was responsible for keeping countless Hendersons on the road – in this country and around the world. There wasn’t a part on a Henderson motorcycle that Carl couldn’t fix. And if a part was missing, he simply made a new one. He loved to talk, and gave advice to countless people from all over the world – all you had to do was call Carl on the phone, and tell him your problem.

Carl was "Mr. Henderson" – there isn’t a person on this planet that knew more about the Henderson motorcycle than Carl Vandre. Carl is no longer with us, but the Hendersons he loved so much still are.
