  • Joining at Newcastle we travelled to Barrow In Furness to celebrate Dave Day to remember and celebrate the life of Dave Myers.
    There were thousands of bikes there and the streets were lined with people waving us on.
    It goes to show how loved he was by everyone.
    Rest in peace Dave

    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.

    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.

    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
      @upnorthbiker  Месяц назад

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

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

    • @upnorthbiker
      @upnorthbiker  Месяц назад

      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.

      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
