They added: "He was well liked by friends, neighbours and all who knew him."

RIP from a fellow biker all my best to the family
He wasn't actually involved in a collision with the VW Golf. He came off the bike, and the car hit the bike after it had skidded down the road.
Neil was a good lad and all who knew him will miss him terribly. I suspect that the church will be packed for his funeral.
A very special man who will be sadly missed and proudly remembered by all.
Neil was a good friend of mine and i will miss him terribly. He was a wonderful man who was loved and respected by all who knew him and he always lived life to the full.
