This New Documentary Will Celebrate The Life of Hairy Biker Dave Myers
Local icon Si King will celebrate the life of his fellow Hairy Biker and best friend Dave Myers in a special one-off BBC documentary this Christmas
It follows the 45,000 bikes that joined Si on a memorial journey from London to Dave’s hometown of Barrow-in-Furness in April this year. In memory of the late TV star who died from cancer in February at the age of 66, motorcyclists from across the UK met up on to ride in a convoy to pay tribute to Dave and raise money for charities.
The emotional ride was Si King’s last as a Hairy Biker as he closes the chapter on an incredible 25 years of memories with his biking brother.
Archive material, new interviews and previously unseen footage will come together to celebrate Dave’s life, charting a journey that took him around the world, cooking up a storm as one of TV’s greatest ever double acts.
‘It was a very special show to pull together,’ says Si. ‘Full of nostalgia, laughs and celebration of my best friend and his life.’
The Hairy Bikers: You’ll Never Ride Alone has been produced for BBC Two by South Shore and will air on BBC Two and iPlayer just before Christmas.
