As a long-time fan of the Hairy Bikers duo, I must say that this upcoming Christmas special is bittersweet. The absence of Dave Myers will undeniably leave a void, but Si King’s determination to honor his friend and partner in adventure is truly heartwarming.
In an upcoming Hairy Bikers special this Christmas, instead of sharing the journey with him as usual, Dave Myers will not join King on their travels.
This year, after a tough fight against cancer, one half of the cherished Hairy Bikers pair, Myers, has passed away. In the touching tribute show, The Hairy Bikers: Riding Solo, the BBC will broadcast an emotional farewell to the late television host.
In this documentary, viewers will accompany a charity motorcycle ride, traveling from London to Barrow-in-Furness, which is where Myers originally hails from. This journey is being made as a tribute to Myers’ enduring memory and legacy.
Besides using old recordings and conducting fresh interviews, King serves as the narrator throughout this documentary. Reflecting on it, he found it quite moving.
King showed no hesitation at all when it came to making this documentary, recognizing its significance in bringing attention to what we now call “Dave Day”.
“It was important to celebrate the man and what he’d achieved,” King explained.
Besides saying farewell, it was essential to provide our audience with something perfect, something that embodied a sense of unity and camaraderie. It was all those things – brotherhood, community, a chance for people to express their sorrow openly for a good, honest, straightforward man.
He continued: “Dave was a joyous man. He embraced and loved the life that he led, and that was enormously important to him. That was the essence of my best mate.”
Previously this year, King openly shared in a heartfelt piece for The Sunday Times that accepting Myers’ departure was a difficult journey for him, and he contemplated hopping back on his bicycle without any intention of returning.
At times, I found myself consumed by anger. Anger towards that relentless illness, anger at God, and anything else my mind could fathom. Inquiries about my future plans would come, but in those moments, all I could think of was fighting this disease.
I’ll be spending some moments pondering over the life shared with my dearest friend, contemplating the path ahead.
“Which is exactly what Dave would have wanted. Move forward, don’t dwell on the past.”
