National Motorcycle Museum bank holiday Ride In event to celebrate legacy of the late Dave Myers
The National Motorcycle Museum (NMM) is gearing up to host a Bank Holiday ‘Ride In’ event on May 5.
The day promises to be packed with attractions, including a stage show hosted by Lili Myers, widow of the late Hairy Bikers star Dave Myers, alongside special guest and Dave Day organiser Jason Woodcock.
Set to take place from 1pm in the museum’s Britannia Suite, the pair will delve into the success of 2024’s Dave Day celebration, which saw 46,136 riders band together to ride 300 miles from London to Dave’s hometown of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, raising £83,000 to support Childline and the Institute of Cancer Research.
Lili and Jason will discuss plans for a 2025 follow-up event, which is set to take place on the weekend of June 21-22 – with a riding procession planned on the Saturday (following 2024’s route), before a festival on Sunday.
The outcome of the March 26 charity auction of Dave’s BSA Gold Star will also be covered, as will an exclusive look into Lili’s new book, Dave and Me, which explores their life together, Dave’s legacy, and their shared love of food, bikes, and more.
Beyond the stage, the event will feature a large autojumble spanning the museum’s Compton Suite, as well as the adjacent outdoor area.
Other highlights include live fire-ups of classic machines, half-price museum entry, and a BBQ to keep attendees fully fuelled up.
Final timings are to be confirmed. Find out more at the National Motorcycle Museum’s website now.
