Kevin Ash Death

Postby Nookiebear » Wed Jan 23, 2013 2:27 pm

Just passing on that Kevin Ash was killed testing the new BMW R1200GS in South Africa.
This is a real shame and a great loss to both his family and followers.
R.I.P Kevin.

One journalist less who was accepted in mainstream circles gone....which again in mainstream circles will highlight and reinforce the thought that bikes aren't safe and shouldn't be allowed....

I always enjoyed his columns in MCN in depth but never boring....a sad loss.

My thoughts are with his family and 3 daughters.........

Kevin was the equivalent of LJK Setright.

Indeed an enormous loss.
