Ride with me as we celebrate Dave Day

[@barrypos55]

As an ex-Police Accident Investigator and Cop I can safely say Barrow has never had a turn out like that for anything!!! And I was on duty when Princes Diana came to town. The sight of the bikes was mind-blowing , the goodwill flowing through the town was palpable , it was electric. Cumbria Police estimated 40,000 bikes . They made NO arrests. Just brilliant. Thank you for being one of the many. Dave would have been blown away with the love.

[@dubsnbuds6668]

That is mind blowing it really is no arrest at all ,what beautiful people

[@upnorthbiker]

It was a great day and a credit to Barrow as well as everyone who attended. What a way to remember Dave, a great bloke.

[@Ciara.Higgins-xz9im]

Barrow is a small town of about 70000 and I think 69999 turned out.Thank you to every single biker.

[@upnorthbiker]

Thank you for the amazing welcome. It was amazing.

[@elainekayes8087]

thank you so much for riding to my home town of barrow it was amazing xxx

[@upnorthbiker]

Barrow did its self proud. The welcome we received was so uplifting. Thank you for having us.

[@dylan2oasis]

we joined on to your group at Hexham, I have to say it was the most exhilarating and emotional days I've ever had on 2 wheels. The crowds along the way were immense. A very proud feeling to be part of something so momentous, I don't think the likes of which will ever be seen again. It just shows the power of the biking community to come together in such numbers, 46000 bikes descending on a small town like Barrow. Tremendous and humbling.

[@upnorthbiker]

Couldn't say it better myself.

[@SouthWest-jj8yu]

Fantastic ride for Dave, didn’t make myself but my brother in law was there. Not sure how many some reports say 16000 others 25000, however many thousands it was a great turnout👍

[@upnorthbiker]

I think the official figure was just over 46000. Amazing sign of respect for Dave.

[@SouthWest-jj8yu]

@@upnorthbiker yes I heard that after I wrote the comment, and wow that’s a lot but great to hear.

[@lynnwilson4307]

Thankyou for visiting our little town, it was once in a lifetime experience for everybody, you all did dave proud.

[@upnorthbiker]

Barrow did its self proud. The welcome we received was so uplifting. Thank you for having us.

[@kiemufc15]

Thanks for visiting Barrow, amazing day all round

[@upnorthbiker]

The welcome from the people of Barrow and surrounding areas was amazing. Thank you for cheering us on and hosting us.

[@leanneharrison5366]

Amazing day thank you for sharing this video. Even tho I’m on it waving like a nut case and cheering you all on 🙈

[@upnorthbiker]

You and the crowds were fantastic. It was a great day and a fitting tribute to Dave.

[@raymonddowling-r7y]

we here in barrow didn't expect 47,000 bikers ... what an immense turn out,,,, thank you for sharing your video..

[@upnorthbiker]

Glad you liked it. It was a great event.

[@dubsnbuds6668]

Thanks for the upload, sadly due to family commitments I could not make it ,I'm not quite a biker ,,,,,,,yet😊 been a pillion for years with my best buddy,this turn out does nothing but encourage me to be a member of the motorcycle scene,40,000 people not one bit of trouble is almost unbelievable,what a great day to be English ❤❤

[@upnorthbiker]

Sorry you couldn't be there in person but it sounds like you were there in spirit. We may look scary to some but we are a great community of people who just love bikes and bikers

[@Ciara.Higgins-xz9im]

I see you went home along the coastroad beautiful views.

[@upnorthbiker]

Yes I love that road. I got to know the area a few years ago when I used to visit GSK in Ulverston

[@BobtheYob-up9sv]

Can't beat Unity Should be made an annual event from now on

[@upnorthbiker]

That would be a nice thing to do but it would not get the same attendance and it would dwindle down each year. This was special and although I would willing do it again to remember Dave I think it is more special being a one off.

[@BobtheYob-up9sv]

Yes you're absolutely right, what struck me watching the vids of the participants and public was the wonderful expression of all that's good in life..the difference of being humane and not just human, as someone just said earlier " it restores your faith in humanity ". Wouldn't it be great to have a collective bike run celebrating what life and freedom should be without any political/protest associations

[@plotnav1]

Thank you for posting and taking part 😊

[@upnorthbiker]

We did it for Dave, he was one of us and loved.

[@2174mysticring]

[@upnorthbiker]

You are welcome and thank you for the welcome we received. It was amazing and a great turn out for Dave,

[@duncanpaton8227]

My faith in humanity has been restored🎉 rock on dave 🎉

[@upnorthbiker]

Totally agree it was amazing getting everyone behind the same cause, remembering Dave.

[@tersemerkhet4633]

I was on my way from Blucher into town when the police closed the roundabout off. What an amazing site to see all of you. Respect

[@upnorthbiker]

We did it for Dave, he was one of us and loved by many.

[@pauletherington8608]
