Dave Day, arriving at Barrow in Furness - Video

Dave Day, 8th June 24
The day all the motorcycles came to Barrow, well perhaps not all of them but it felt like it.
What a great tribute to Dave Myers, thank you all for attending. Thanks to Si King & Lili for attending and Woody for organsing it all.
Plus Barrow Bid and all the volunteers who helped out, it couldnt have been done without you all. And the people of Barrow who turned out in numbers, great memories for all.
Thanks to the Hotel Imperial for giving me access to film a lot of this.

I’m 80, and don’t have a motorcycle, but if I was young enough and had a motorcycle, I would Definately have done the ride for Dave, a truly British Icon….. Rest in Peace Dave….. Don from Kent.

[@ACAB19032]

I was at the Knutsford service station and it was an unbelievable experience to witness the thousands of bikers who paid tribute to Dave. 👏🏻 RESPECT. If Dave was looking down at the bikers who turned out yesterday he would be so touched. RIP 🙏 DAVE ❤

"I THINK WERE GONNA NEED A BIGGER CAR PARK" I bet even the organisers were overwhelmed by the turnout. I heard an UNOFFICIAL NUMBER OF 46,150+ ARRIVED IN BARROW!!!! WELL DONE all the lads and lasses who turned out to honour a really special man! God Bless you all and RIDE SAFE!!!

[@davecarrera]

Just got home (Sunday) from this wonderful time. 600+ miles round trip from the Ace Cafe. A fantastic Daves Day. A day to be cherished. The ride into Barrow was amazing with apparently 200,000+ people lining the streets waving and clapping. Dave would have been proud.

I am Proud to be British seeing these wonderful people in convoy. God Bless you all. DeVere of Ribble Valley.

[@user-fz8ep5ey4v]

Hope they do this every year and raise lots of money for charity.

[@annofcleavers5791]

Massive respect to everyone that came here to honour the memory of a much loved Barrovian son ❤

[@oildrag]

The marshals interaction was wonderful to see ! Handing out free water was a lovely touch ! Thank you all the riders 👍👍🇬🇧

[@Norfolkbiker50]

This really is a true representation of just how popular Dave was. I met him a few times when I marshalled at BMF shows and I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. Bikers look after our own but I've seldom seen a turnout like this for anyone.

[@pat4brown]

God bless all the bikers who did this ride for Dave Myers. These are the good guys, friendly and ever helpful. We all miss Dave.😢

[@mia56]

Proud to be British proud of si king and Dave Myers may he RIP, a legend of a man he is up there watching over all this , thank you for the cookery programs and my husband said it was a privilege that you got in his black cab in London coming out of a interview.

I rode up from Liverpool but was raised in Barrow. What a wonderful event. It gave Barrow, and bikers, a great name.

[@karlhoward2737]

This is why we ride…..when out and about, always give a nod to a passing rider….we are a kindred spirit…..and Dave’s Day showed our unity….well done everyone…..

[@aderynmawr]

Now that’s what I call a tribute ride 💕

[@aderynmawr]

All I’ve heard on the news is that there were “tens of thousands” of bikes. Does anyone have a clearer figure?

[@scottathomson]

@@aderynmawr around 45,000 bikes a lot with pillions it nearly doubled the towns population

[@aderynmawr]

@@scottathomson wow. Such a fitting tribute to a lovely man.

[@petersmith9470]

It would be interesting to know how many bikes were at the TT and how many was at DD, Love the Hawaiian shirts and flags. Same time next year? Wonder just what his missus thought when she found out about the size of the turn out? RIP Dave. Condolences to all who were lucky enough to be blessed with his presence.

[@user-dm5yd3ek5m]

Wow, what a fantastic event. I wish I could have been there but my motorbike was in need essential safety repairs. Lovely to see such wonderful people have a good time remembering what a truly great guy Dave was. Maybe next year if it becomes an annual thing. Well done lads n lasses, you give us bikers a good name.
