Darren Wood, 46, of Milton Keynes, was killed when his motorcycle was involved in a collision with a car at around 7pm, close to the junction of Eastern Way.
Mr Wood’s family has paid tribute to him. His wife said: “Darren was my soulmate, we had been together 17 years and married for six of those. He had a wicked sense of humour, but at the same time he was very loving and caring.

“He had a great love for motorbikes and loved going out riding, and spent hours in the shed tinkering with them. It is hard to imagine life without him.”
His son said: “Dad brought me up from a very young age. He taught me how to swim, got me into motorbikes and then eventually taught me how to drive and got me my first car. I will really miss the time that we spent together.”
Sgt Declan McDonagh, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Forensic Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We’re continuing to appeal for witnesses to this tragic incident and would appeal for anyone who witnessed a silver Volkswagen Golf, or a black Suzuki motorbike, travelling along the A5 prior to the incident to get in touch.”
