Speaking to the camera, Si fights back tears as he praises his close pal and “brother”, Dave.
“We’ve done it, and more importantly he’s done it,” he says.
“I’m his mate but I love him like family, like a brother,” he continues, pausing as he tears up.
Si admits: “I’m lost for words. It’s quite remarkable what he’s done.”
“Who knows what the future holds but for the moment I’m living in the present, and it’s pretty fine,” Dave then adds in the final scene.
At the end of the show, a tribute reads: “In loving memory of our friend, Dave Myers.”

Earlier this month, Dave’s wife, Liliana, penned a heartbreaking tribute to Dave on Instagram.
Taking to the Hairy Bikers’ Instagram, Liliana thanked fans for their love and support.
“It amazes me how many hearts he touched and how many people wanted to express their love for what Dave and Si have created for nearly 20 years. I know the Hairy Bikers have been part of your living rooms for such a long time and I feel your loss as much as you feel mine!” she said.
“My husband, David Myers was a larger than life character and he did everything with passion, enthusiasm and generosity of spirit. His energy was endless when it came to cooking and talking recipes, or biking and talking bikes. An amazing storyteller!” she then continued.
“And through his stories and TV appearances he was constantly inspiring and encouraging people to cook, travel, to live their life to the fullest. An exceptional husband, wonderful stepdad, loyal friend and in his own words, a creator, never a follower,” she then said.
“I feel I’m grieving with a whole nation… and this is something special. My wonderful Dave.”
