Unhappy Rider Down - Martin Capell (from Cycle Gear)

This is 100% second-hand info... don't shoot the messenger if I get anything wrong.

Last night Martin Capell lost his life while riding his motorcycle.

He was one of the guys that worked at Cycle Gear in Tampa.

The funeral is Friday at noon... not sure where at this point.

Appearently he hit a curb, then a tree, breaking his neck.

No other vehicles were involved.

It happened with friends and family members watching.

He was 17 years old.

R.I.P.

Yeah I'm pretty sure what Cecil posted is accurate. A co-worker told me that he pulled a wheelie and didn't know the curb was there. ugh it breaks my heart...he was always in Motorsports and I believe he was a semi-frequent TR poster. I'll have to find out what his username is though. Damn RIP

Is he the tall, skinny young guy? Man this sucks...R.I.P.
Anyone with plans to go to the funeral? Or, with more specific info on it.
Ughh, this is a heartache that shouldn't be.

I'd look for the obituary in tomorrow's paper....probably have more information on the funeral in it.
