[Closed] kevin ash RIP

Great shame, I had chatted to him on email and on forums over the last couple of years - he was always entertaining and engaging, an absolute gent.

Really sad news. I thought he was a great motorcycle journalist. He will be sadly missed.

I guess especially by his wife and kids 🙁

Bad news he certainly knew his stuff, his column in the MCN was always a entertaining and educational.
A sad loss to Motorcycling

Whilst journo's at the tory graph are not really my cup of tea I kind of liked his writing in a "know your enemy" kind of way. Tragic news.

Seemed pretty respectful to me, but I suppose it is cold and damp and you may be struggling to find anything to be outraged about tonight. As A-A said a cracking journo,and knew his bikes.

I like reading his reviews and his words would play a major part in any bike buying I did.

One of the few journalists who told it how it was; rather what the manufacturers wanted you to hear.

What a shame.
I liked his writing and always respected his opinion, even if I disagreed with him.

Loved his road tests in the Telegraph - intelligent, considered and designed to appeal to everyone, not just bike geeks.

He always came across like a genuinely nice bloke too.
He'll be missed.

Link to an excellent interview with him that appeared in bikeexif [url= http://www.bikeexif.com/kevin-ash ]here.[/url]

Nice one, political credentials precede compassion.

get ****ed you ****.

get * you *.

A great man in every respect.
Didnt agree with his politics but gave good unbias opinions when it came to his road tests ...

Sad for the family .

Classy.

You say this a lot don't you.

Classy.
