The family of a motorcyclist who died in a crash have said they are devastated at their loss.
Steven McDermott crashed while exiting the Hithercroft roundabout in Wallingford at about 22:00 GMT on 22 November.
The father and grandfather, who was in his 50s, died at the scene, Thames Valley Police confirmed.
His five children said he had "lived and breathed motorbikes" since he was a teenager.
Mr McDermott would often take his relatives for a ride around their village Merthyr Vale, his family said
In a tribute, the family said their world had come "crashing down".
"Our father had the craziest sense of humour and would always try to make light of a situation by saying something silly.
"If anybody could pull us out of a dark it, then it would be him," they added.
Mr McDermott's family asked for privacy, amid speculation about the incident.
