She said he had been riding since a young age and described the incident as a huge shock. As well as his mum, Anthony leaves behind his dad Andrew, sisters Leah and Sienna, partner Jodie and two children Anaya and Kaison.
He also leaves behind Ashley Junior, Layla and Ellie-Rose - who he raised as his own. Jen said: "He was the most genuine guy with a massive heart.
"He had five kids, three wasn't his but he raised them from a very young age as his own. He had a little sister who is three and then an older sister who is 22.
"He had loads of mates, he was a very popular well-known guy. He had grown up in Tyldesley from being a baby, on the estate which is where he passed away as well."
She added: "He's been riding bikes since he was about four-years-old. He's always had a massive love of bikes, it was an awful accident.
"You don't expect to get that phone call. He just enjoyed riding his motorbike and spending time with his kids, that's what he was about."
