   The aim of Dave Day is to spread hope and happiness to all regardless of who you are or where you're from, honouring and remembering Dave and all other lost loved ones.

   We want to replace I'm having a great day with ‘I’m having a Dave Day!”

   Whilst raising as much as we can for great causes.

   Last years event (2025) saw the 36000 of the UK motorcycle community pull together and ride to Dave's home town of Barrow in Furness, which in 2024 saw over 46000 riders take part.

   Updates to follow

   Woody.
