RIP: Joe (Otocan) Snell 1984-2007

I was going to post this in the off topic forums but I don't have 50+ posts.

For anyone who hasn't heard Joe was down at Deals Gap with some other Motorcycle enthusiast. He lowsided around a corner and hit a tree, he was medivaced to a nearby hospital where he passed yesterday at 6pm due to head trauma.

The motorcycle forum with the info can be found here:
http://www.yzf600r.com/phpBB2/viewto...r=asc&start=15
halfway down and continues on page three.

If you would like to get in touch with the family PM me and I'll forward on contact information.

With a heavy heart,
Chris

I didn't know the guy too well, but I did know he frequented SL a lot.

Condolences to Otocan's family and all his motorcycle friends. We here at SL wish his family nothing but the best through these trying times.

This is really sad....

He helped me alot on suspension for my car here on SL and taught me stuffs like I'd never knew possible.

I don't really know him, but all I know is he's a very knowledgable person who loves to help people in every aspect.

Condolence to his beloved family and friends...

We'll surely miss his "Numa Numa" avatar...

Rest in peace Otocan....
