The wife of Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers has revealed that fans are able to buy one of her late husband’s most iconic possessions following his death.
Dave died last February after a battle with cancer. He was 66 years old.
Fans given opportunity to buy Dave Myers’ bike
This morning, during an appearance on BBC Breakfast, Dave’s wife, Lili, revealed that fans have the opportunity to buy his beloved motorbike.
The proceeds from Dave’s BSA Gold Star, which he rode during the recording of The Hairy Bikers, will go to both the NSPCC and the Institute for Cancer Research. They were two charities that were close to the late star’s heart.
It’s hoped that the bike, which usually goes for around £8,000, could fetch up to £10,000 in auction.
In a pre-recorded segment on today’s show, Lili was reunited with her late husband’s bike.
Lili on Dave’s ‘last journey’
Upon seeing the bike, Lili said: “Gosh look at that. It’s wonderful to see it again.”
“He was so excited about it because just a few months before he never thought that he would ride a bike again,” she then went on to say.
This was his last horse and it was with him on his last journey.
“Of course I was delighted that he was able to do it again. This was his last horse and it was with him on his last journey. He was like a little kid in a toy shop, whenever there was a whiff of some adventure,” she then added.
The bike featured in the final series of The Hairy Bikers, which Dave filmed just a few months before his death.

“As long as people remember him, he’s gonna live,” she then added.
