Hairy Biker's Unbreakable Bond with Late Partner

0:00On March 29th, C. King, the surviving Harry Biker, opened up on desert island discs about his unbreakable bond with Dave Myers, who passed away last, year at age 66 from cancer. They first hit TV screens together in 2004 with their cookbook show, mixing cooking and bike rides across the country. King said even after Dave's death, he's still his best mate, and they clocked 650,000 miles on motorbikes enough to hit the moon. And back, King grew up in Kibble's Worth near Gateshead, the youngest of three kids, and lost his dad at eight after a kidney transplant failed. His dad had served in World War II Arctic convoys. He and his mom coped by cooking together, learning to put love into every dish so you can taste it and never cook angry. They met on a TV drama set in 1992, bonding instantly over food and bikes.

Meanwhile, thousands of Biker's row from London to Dave's Barrel Inferness home last year for Dave Day, a massive show of community with folks. Opening homes amid sky high hotel prices. King runs his spot socialist style, paying above living wage, sourcing ingredients local within 60 miles for proper pies, keeps the love alive, one ride and recipe at a time.
