Fatal accident in SA on the new BMW 1200GS launch:

I've read a huge amount of his stuff, always seemed even-handed and clearly loved riding bikes. Very sad indeed :(

Oh no.
That is indeed a sad loss.
I always had the greatest respect for his work, and the feeling that he must've been an all round good guy, as well as intelligent and knowlegeable.
I have a drawer full of his TechWatch articles cut from many years of MCN.
Thanks, Kev....you'll be greatly missed.

That is very sad news. His articles were always interesting and balanced, he'll be greatly missed.

He was a respected and quality journalist who really knew his stuff. I always enjoyed his test reports in the weekend Telegraph. He was always enthusiastic about Ducatis but not to the detriment of other brands.

He will be much missed.

Sad news, I remember his articles from way back

I have his book 'Ducati People' and it is a good addition to your library.
The loss of Kevin following the loss os Mick Walker in 2012 is a real blow.

Terrible :-(

A real shame, a great writer who could hold your attention. I really enjoyed his Telegraph column.

RIP Kev
