The family of a 60-year-old man who died in a Salford motorbike crash have paid tribute to him.
Pavè Corkovic passed away due to his injuries after he was involved in a collision on Albion Way on Saturday 22 June.
Prior to the incident, he had been in tandem with another motorcycle.
A 38-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released on bail.
In tribute to Pavè, his family said: "There are no words to express how we feel. We as a family are in disbelief and none of us will ever forget him. Drago, the twins' big brother, will make sure they know everything about their dad, especially how he turned his life around and did right by them. He loved being a family man and was their protector, provider and a constant presence in their lives.
"Nt, Drago, the twins, your dog Rocky, the family and your many beloved friends are so proud of how far you've come. We will miss you Pavè and your legacy will live on through your kids.
"As Pavè would say; 'Life is a question of mind over matter, I don’t mind and you don’t matter.'
"We appreciate the love, support and condolences. And we ask for privacy at this time to grieve the loss of Our Salford Legend, Pavè Corkovic."
