Si King has said “Dave Day”, a 30-mile motorcycle ride to celebrate the life of fellow Hairy Biker Dave Myers, gave him and their fans “permission” to start grieving.
Si King reveals the thing that changed after attending Dave Myers’ bike day celebration Myers died aged 66 in February following a cancer diagnosis.
A new one-hour special called The Hairy Bikers: You’ll Never Ride Alone, documents the day which saw 46,000 motorcyclists take part, as well as the duo’s long career together and their many trips around the world.
King, 58, said he made the decision to make the documentary after celebrating the 32nd anniversary of their friendship and 23 years working together.
Myers, who hailed from Barrow-in-Furness, first revealed his cancer diagnosis on Agony Uncles, the podcast he shared with King, who recently shared his all-time favourite memory with his friend.
