Wambui paid tribute to Victor, "When I was looking into getting a motorcycle Victor allowed me to test drive his. When I opened my gallery, Victor came to celebrate with a bunch of other bikers.

When Bob died, Victor and other bikers came home to pay tribute. He was a gentle soul."

Adding, "He championed biker road safety and he taught a whole bunch of bikers how to ride off-road. He was generous and present. He is truly missed."

Here are some reactions to Wambui's tribute.

Bonnie Momanyi: Sad that we've lost him, the reason why I hate bikes, I better walk or run. Rip

Victor Rubo: You can still be killed by a reckless driver even while walking or running bro

Lindah Oguttu: So sorry

Peter Muthaura: So sorry for the loss. It amazes me, this thing called death. It is selfish. Takes the best, leaves behind the thugs, the brutal, the selfish, the works. May he rest in peace.

Epic cashfil: May his soul rest in peace, the law should be more strict since these cases are becoming common. Riders remember to put on their safety gear and be visible.
