Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I saw this on twitter - BMW won't release what happened though.

R.I.P man. Motorcyclists are more of a brotherhood than othersports, mainly because of the sheer danger.

Crikey. When I saw where they were doing the launch, I did actually think "Isn't that a bit risky?"

I never imagined this though.

Didn't read a lot of his stuff, but he didn't seem like a twat. I guess that's a RIP from me.

I'm just reading his articles now on www.ashonbikes.com.

Well, damn. The reviews are crammed with detail, the guy clearly knew his stuff and cared about his subject.

Seemed decent too, following up and engaging very reasonably in the comments.

Some absolutely bang on opinion/editorials.

I wish I'd discovered him sooner.

Shame, I used to read his 'bit' in the Telegraph motoring supplement on a saturday. Knowledgeable, direct, trustworthy, and believeable.............RIP good man.

[carlosthejack...]

Really sad news. The man spoke the truth, and was never afraid to speak it either. Beautifully outspoken.
