A motorbike named after Dave Myers will be carrying on the Hairy Biker's legacy for years to come.

As part of the Dave Day celebrations earlier this year, a Triumph Daytona was auctioned to raise money for the two chosen charities, NSPCC Childline and the Institute of Cancer Research, and was sold for £11,000.

The Triumph was donated by Trisha Roseby, whose husband restored the bike but then died from cancer, with Trisha wanting the bike to go to a good home.

In a full circle moment, Stu Long - the new owner - recently saw the bike reunited with Angel Motorcycle Training, who got involved in Dave Day back in June.

Keith Jewitt, who runs the training school, explained: "I was glad to have been able to help him [Stu] get back on a bike and when I discovered which bike he would be riding I was delighted that we had a connection.

"I know that Si [King] was really pleased that the bike went to someone who is going to make good use of it and he was happy to come along to meet Stu and Michelle [his wife].

"Finding out that they had named the bike Dave was brilliant - I'm sure that Dave would be delighted that such a beautifully restored bike is back on the roads with his name attached to it, it seems very fitting."

Keith has come to know Si through a mutual friend and was asked by the Hairy Biker to train a member of Dave's family so that they could take part in the Dave Day ride.

He added: "Myself and another of our instructors took part in Dave Day and had a fantastic experience.

"It was absolutely incredible that so many people took part, I know the organisers were amazed at how many more people were there than expected."

Si met with Keith, Stu and Michelle earlier this week to meet the bike at the Angel of the North, and branded the occasion as yet another 'celebration' of the life Dave led.
