The family of a motorcyclist who died after a road traffic collision have paid tribute to him.
Police were called at around five to six last Tuesday to the A394 at Germoe, near Helston, after a report of a collision involving a motorcycle and a tractor.
The motorcyclist, 71-year-old David Staveley from Porthleven, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
In a statement his family said: “David (Dave) Staveley, a much-loved husband, dad, grandad, brother-in law and friend, was taken from us too soon at the young at heart age of 71."
“Dave had been riding motorbikes since he was 15-years-old initially starting out on dirt bikes. Always having a story to tell about his love of bikes, from being sat next to his bike to keep warm while he slept on the Scottish highlands, to riding his much-loved north coast road of Cornwall."
“Although Dave is no longer here, his love, laugh, cheekiness and special ways will forever be in the hearts of all those that loved and knew what an amazing kind-hearted soul he was. Dave will be truly missed. Ride high, until we see you again.”
