THE family of a motorcycle enthusiast adored by all who died in a crash just outside Andover have said they are “devastated”.

Robert Gregory, fondly known as Robby One Leg or Robohop, was killed after his three-wheeled Yamaha motorcycle left the A3057 earlier this month, near the A303.

Now, his family have said he “definitely lived life to the full” in a loving tribute to the 67-year-old, from Enham Alamein.

They said: “We are absolutely devastated that we have lost our beloved Robby.

“Robby was a well-known figure who was adored by all.

“He would always be happy to help anyone or lend a hand. He loved his motorsport and competed in many races and competitions over the years.

“He definitely lived life to the full and will be missed terribly by all his family especially his children and grandkids.

“His daughter, family and partner would like to say thanks for the support and condolences.”

Police have launched an investigation and want anyone with dashcam footage showing the incident or the moments before to get in touch.

It comes as Hampshire Constabulary warn road users to be safe after four deaths in motorcycle-related crashes in four days this month.
