The 30-year-old man from Margate is in a critical condition in Kings College Hospital in London where he was flown by air ambulance following the collision.
He was riding a black Yamaha motocycle along the A256 in the Dover direction when the crash happened near the Richborough power station at 10.30am. No other vehicle is believed to have been involved.
Any witnesses should contact the Kent Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 01622 798538.
The women, aged 50 and 28 from Dover, were walking home after a party at 1am on Saturday 22 October 2011 when two men came up behind them in the alleyway between Charlton Avenue and Limes Road.
One of the women screamed as they were pushed over and the men ran away empty-handed. The women were not seriously injured, the younger woman had cuts to her hands and knees and the older woman was left with a sore arm and shoulder.
The men are described as in their late teens or early 20s. One was stocky with fair, short hair and was wearing a blue hooded top with a motif on the front. The other man was slimmer and wearing a dark hooded top.
Anyone with information or any witnesses are urged to contact Detective Constable Michael Sedden on 01233 896272.
A 24-year-old Dover man, who was in a Dracula fancy dress costume, was taken to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford after he was hit and fell on to the dance floor at 1.20am. The man received injuries to his head and face and needed stitches for a cut.
There were a number of people in the club – many in Halloween fancy dress, and witnesses should contact PC Kerry Simmons on 01303 289181.
A 21-year-old Dover man was arrested on suspicion of assault on Sunday and has been questioned about the incident and released on police bail until 29 November 2011.

The following has been received from the Swingtime Sweethearts (pictured left) who are the stars of the show:
“Appearing at Dover’s Remembrance Concert are Wartime and Swing Duo the “Swingtime Sweethearts”. Annie Riley from Charing and Le’arna Castle from Dover have been very busy since meeting in 2006, performing at Air shows, War events, and Festivals all over the country. The girls have also performed in the Ballroom of Buckingham Palace, and St. James Palace, where they were presented to both HRH the Prince of Wales and HRH the Princess Royal. In December, they will be performing once again for the Not Forgotten Association Veterans’ Christmas Party in St. James Palace.
The Swingtime Sweethearts have recorded a charity single which features the Forces sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn, titled “Not Forgotten”. The girls were thrilled to have their song featured as the final track on Dame Vera’s latest album “Unforgettable”. Sales from the single, as well as a percentage from “Unforgettable” are raising funds for their chosen charities, for which they are both proud ambassadors, “The Dame Vera Lynn Trust for Children with Cerebral Palsy” and “The Not Forgotten Association” for the Ex-Service and Currently Serving War Disabled.
They have also been asked to help organise Dame Vera’s 95th Birthday Celebrations next year.” The special link that Dame Vera has with our town is something to be treasured forever. She is a truly wonderful lady who gave so much hope and comfort to those living through the worst years. It is an honour and privilege to know her and we have grown a very real fondness for her.”

Sunrise:
This is the season for spectacular sunrises off Dover as many of you will know. Here we see the early ferry making its way through the all encompassing gloom here in Dover and heading into the glorious Sun, which is as we see hovering over Calais. Picture taken a couple of days ago and unretouched, 'twas exactly as shown. I say early ferry, but since the clocks went back it wasn't all that early..7am approximately. PB.* *
