BMW Club of Houston - Joe Knisel has left us to be...

This came is such a shock. I don't know many additional details, but we did hear from the family that Joe suffered an apparent heart attack.


Joe joined us this year for the club's Lost Maples campout weekend, and I got the chance to know him a lot better out there! Joe loved riding that old oil head GS of his, and I was amazed at the long highway miles he put down on that 40-year-old machine!


Here's a video from that Saturday back in April where Joe was having the time of his life (as were we all)!


Will miss you, Joe!!
