I thought he was on the road to recovery, but he still looked pretty ill. It's a real shame.

I rather enjoyed their kind of childish delight in everything. The pair of them brought a bit of 'ordinary blokes having fun' to TV.

Sad. They always came across as nice blokes and not all 'telly'.

Ironic that it was Si King who had the big health scare a few years back with his jam tart.

They just made a series which is airing now, so I thought he was over it too. Great shock to see show up in my news feed. :thumbdown:

Yes, didn't see that one coming. RIP Dave; the world is a more dreary place for your passing. Another one of the good guys gone.

In the first episode, he told viewers it was "a dream come true" to be back on his motorbike because he "wasn't sure I'd ever get back in the saddle again".

"There was a time I couldn't balance, I couldn't walk, I didn't think I'd be getting on a bike," he said.

I've been enjoying their latest series. Also thought he looked poorly but thought he was on the mind. He seemed to come over as the nicer one, afaiac.

Another one giving back his pension. RIP
