Hairy Bikers' Chi King breaks his silence on late friend Dave Myers' heartbreaking final wish

The King has revealed what his late friend Dave Myers would have 'wished for' after Simon died of cancer.

Dave, better known as the other half of Harry Biker, passed away in February aged 66, with Si by his side following a long battle with cancer.

Si, 57, and Dave have worked closely together for two decades, producing numerous cooking TV shows and books and making live appearances.

Si admitted to The Sunday Times in an interview that she has had a difficult time since losing her friend.

At times, he felt like getting on his bike and 'riding off into the sunset', but he knew that wasn't what Dave wanted.

Dave, better known as the other half of the Hairy Bikers, died in February aged 66 of SI following a long battle with cancer.

He said: 'I'm taking some time to reflect on the life I've had with my best mate and think about moving on. That's what Dave would have wanted. Move forward, don't dwell on the past..'

Si also recalled the difficulties he and the crew faced filming the final series of Hairy Bikers.

He said:[Dave] Loved traveling up and down the west coast of England – the place he loved and where he was born. God, that last series was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my entire life.

'His crew felt it too; Some of them have been with us since the beginning. We all try to carry on as normal and not lose it.

The pair met in 1992 and said their relationship was 'sealed over a tandoori chicken masala, four papadomes and three pints of lager'.

Their first television appearance in 2004 was The Hairy Biker's Cookbook, which was part cooking show and part travel show and featured the duo riding the length of Portugal in the first episode.

In June, Si announced the Hairy Bikers brand was over following Dave's tragic tenure.

Harry said it wouldn't be honorable to continue as bikers.

Speaking to The Guardian about his next career move, Si said: 'It can't be Hairy Bikers 2.0. It won't happen. That would not be respectful.'

The TV chef continued: 'It's definitely a time of change and change comes at a cost, and that cost was my best friend.

“The wonderful thing about my partner Dave is that he completely embraces the moment. He drove me crazy. I would tell him to say something a little negative, but he loved being a hairy biker.

'Dave and I were two very different people with different agendas and priorities, but we adored each other. The only strategy we had was that if someone was vocal against doing something, we wouldn't do it.

'But Dave was always willing to say yes, more so than I was. He will succeed by being relentlessly positive.

Earlier in June, SI and Dave's widow led thousands of bikers to Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria after riding across the country from London in honor of the TV star.

Thousands of people lined the streets to cheer as Si led a 36-mile procession of grieving bikers into the city center within eight hours of leaving the Ace Cafe in London.

Dave's widow Lily praised the efforts of fellow motorcyclists who smashed their fundraising targets for cancer and children's charities.

Jason 'Woody' Woodcock, organizer of the Dave Day ride from London to Barrow, said there could be 30,000 riders involved in the final stage.

He said: 'Everyone said it couldn't be done. We will never be able to move all those people and keep the time. But we did it without a minute's delay.

'Emotionally I am exhausted but very happy. I promised Dave I would put some bikes together and thanks to the bike community and the people of Barrow we made it happen.

'It's amazing what people can do when they come together. Politicians should take note.
