Dave Day Final Ride Brings Comfort and Strength to Dave Myers’ Widow in Emotional Grief Journey
The emotional final Dave Day motorcycle event has become a deeply meaningful moment of remembrance for the late television star Dave Myers, as supporters once again gathered to celebrate his life and legacy.
The annual ride, which brings together thousands of motorcyclists travelling in tribute to Myers, was created following his death in 2024 after a battle with cancer. It has since grown into a large scale public memorial that also raises funds for charity and strengthens a shared sense of community among participants.
At the heart of the event is Myers’ widow, Liliana Orzac, who has spoken about how the overwhelming support from fans and riders has played an important role in helping her cope with grief. She has described the tribute as more than just a remembrance, but as a source of emotional strength during a difficult period.
Organisers of Dave Day have said the ride represents not only a celebration of Myers’ life, but also a space where people dealing with loss can come together. Many participants view the journey as a way of expressing respect for the beloved Hairy Bikers star while also finding personal healing through shared experience.
The event also continues the charitable mission connected to Myers’ legacy, supporting causes including children’s services and cancer related charities. Over the years, the ride has drawn tens of thousands of bikers and widespread public attention, becoming one of the most recognisable tribute events in the UK entertainment world.
Friends close to Myers, including long time co presenter Si King, have consistently highlighted how important it is to keep his spirit alive through celebration rather than sadness alone. That sentiment has been reflected strongly in the atmosphere of Dave Day, where emotional remembrance and uplifting camaraderie exist side by side.
As the “final” ride takes place, it marks both an ending and a continuation of the legacy Myers left behind, with his widow and supporters united in ensuring his memory remains present through community, charity and shared reflection.
