In a poignant article for the Sunday Times, King emphasized the importance of moving forward, stating that this was precisely what Myers would have wanted.

The journey of the Hairy Bikers began in 2004 with their debut series, which blended cooking with travel, showcasing their love for food and adventure. King fondly recalled how their bond was sealed over a shared meal of tandoori chicken masala and pints of lager, a memory that highlights the joy and camaraderie that defined their partnership. Their journey took them across the globe, connecting with viewers who appreciated their down-to-earth approach to cooking, which resonated with many who might not usually watch traditional cooking shows.
As he reminisced about the incredible adventures they had together, including a memorable camping trip in Namibia where they marveled at the stars, King acknowledged that the legacy of the Hairy Bikers goes beyond just cooking. “Yeah, I’d like to think we made a little bit of difference, here and there,” he said, reflecting on how they brought a unique perspective to the culinary world.
Despite the challenges of grief, King is determined to keep moving forward. He expressed excitement about the future while acknowledging the void left by Myers’ departure. “There is a future for me, and I’m excited for what’s coming next,” he concluded, embodying the spirit of resilience that both he and Myers cherished throughout their years together. As fans and friends alike continue to honor Dave Myers' memory, Si King’s journey reflects not just a story of loss but one of hope, friendship, and the enduring power of shared experiences.
