Very sad. Just been reading his current contribution in today's MCN
Re: Kevin Ash Dies - FuZzBoM - 23-01-13
Very sad news indeed.. RIP Kevin
Makes me think though.. With BMW, in South Africa... possibly the new GS?
visordown saying it was GS launch http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-industry/rip-kevin-ash/22169.html

was just reading about it - very sad news. No details yet but I can't imagine he was pi**ing about?
Re: Kevin Ash Dies - Phil - 23-01-13
Thats sad news.
If I wanted to find a review for a bike those on his website seemed well written and informative.
I read on MCN that he was a founder member of Fast Bikes.

Totally gutted. I loved his comments and reviews in MCN. A billiant journo and will be sorely missed.
All the best to his family

tragic, very sad news. A regular MCN and Bike mag contributor and columnist. He will be missed.
Thing is it can happen to anyone, anytime at a micro seconds notice. We should not place any blame at all on him by inferring he was " pissing about" ...FFS we know nothing !
Re: Kevin Ash Dies - Bloomeanie - 05-02-13
IMHO he was the best journo - made all the tech stuff easy to follow, and just told it straight, no messing.
Will miss reading his articles.
Re: Kevin Ash Dies - Streetbudgie - 06-02-13
Very sad.
I guarantee some journo nob will write an obit saying 'he died doing something he loved' - what crashing and screaming?

Think you mis-read or mis-interpreted Steeeve666's comment.
It is a sad loss indeed, is there any more about the incident yet?
