Thousands of riders honour ‘Hair Biker’ Myers

Thousands of motorcyclists have been riding from London to Cumbria, to celebrate the life of Hairy Biker Dave Myers. The TV chef died in February, at the age of 66, after he was diagnosed with cancer.

Dave Day saw a remembrance procession made up of thousands of motorcycles travel to Myers’ coastal home town of Barrow-in-Furness, with large crowds lining the streets.

His widow Lili Myers previously said her husband would have loved the event, saying: “I think he’s watching from wherever he is – watching and laughing.”
