Hairy Biker Si King 'lost for words' after thousands turn out for emotional Dave Myers tribute

ok.co.uk:

TV presenter Si King has expressed his deep gratitude for the "wonderful outpouring of support" following the death of his Hairy Biker co-star Dave Myers.

Overwhelmed by emotion, Si was at a loss for words when an astonishing 46,000 motorcyclists gathered for 'Dave Day', a 30-mile ride in honour of his late friend.

Dave passed away at the age of 66 after a battle with cancer. Ahead of the BBC Two special 'The Hairy Bikers: You’ll Never Ride Alone', airing on December 23 at 9pm, Si shared his feelings: "I’m a great believer in never taking anyone for granted, people have been incredibly supportive, and people want me to carry on, as Dave did too." He continued, "There’s been a wonderful outpouring of support which one should never take for granted, but it’s always been lovely to be in receipt of. "One should never feel entitled that you have that support because it’s a lovely thing to be in receipt of.

When you do what you do, you do it in isolation. You do it with your crew and then it goes out on the telly." He concluded with a note on the impact of their work: "It’s not like a theatre tour where it’s instant gratification, we’re in people’s front rooms so you never really know how it’s received and how you’re received.
