Bloody hell - can't say I know Kev, but was on way to Sidmouth on A375 Sunday with wife and kids just after it happened.
Taken from this is devon site -
"a motorcyclist suffered serious injuries after his bike left the road on a bend and hit a signpost.
The 50-year-old's Ducati 1098 veered off the road near Sidbury in East Devon and collided with a signpost. The rider, who was out with a group of about seven bikers, was airlifted to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, then transferred to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth where he remains in a serious condition.
The accident happened at midday on Sunday on a right-hand bend on the A375 just outside Sidbury, between Sidmouth and Honiton, close to the Hare and Hounds pub.
Police have confirmed that the man, who has not been named but is thought to be married and from Brixham, suffered life-threatening injuries in the accident.
"A red Ducati motorcycle travelling in the direction of Sidmouth failed to negotiate a right-hand bend and collided with a road sign at its apex," said a force spokesman."
be honest, dont know the guy. but its always bad to hear of these things and can have devistating impacts on those around them. hope he gets better soon, and thoughts are with the friends and family.
