Hairy Bikers star Si King issued a statement after his late pal, Dave Myers was honoured over the weekend with a ride out.
Dave died in February following a battle with cancer. He was 66 years old.
Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers honoured in ride out
Over the weekend, thousands of bikers took to the road in honour of late TV star Dave. The bikers rode from Beverley in East Yorkshire up the coast to Whitby and then to Scarborough.
They raised money for Cancer Research. Dave shared his cancer diagnosis in 2022. Si announced his death in February this year.
Sean Martin of Bikers Escorts East Yorkshire came up with the idea as Dave and Si had done a similar route on their TV show.
“We just wanted to say thank you for everything he’s done, as a ambassador for motorcyclists up and down the country,” he told BBC News.
“They’ve been really good to the motorcycle community, so it’s our way of saying thank you to him,” he then added.
Mr Martin expected 3,000 riders to turn up, however 6,000 ended up coming.
