He is believed to have lost control of his Suzuki GSXR motorbike on the brow of a hill and collided with a wall.
Close friend Amie Stephenson wrote: “He will be loved and missed forever and will always be in our hearts!!”
Darran Walker said: “What can I say. Still cant believe it. What a loss.”
Christopher Kipper Henderson said: “Had a good laugh other night with him. cant believe there wont be anymore. such a shame.”

Police are continuing to appeal for anyone with any information on the crash or who saw the vehicle before the collision to contact PC 1523 Howe, of the roads policing unit, on 101.
