Default R.I.P. Jim Snell

Just found out that Jim Snell the proprietor of Trials Parts USA has passed away. Jim was very knowledgeable about all things Gas Gas. And was the 1993 SR35 National trials champion.

Very sad news. RIP Jim.
Talked to him several times and bought some parts in the past.
Used to watch his videos to learn how to work on my GasGas bikes.
Big loss.
Jeff
