Si said: "I just wanted to say, from Dave and I, thank you so, so very much for all of the goodwill and support, all the messages really do not go unnoticed. He's doing canny but as you appreciate he's right in the trenches of it all at the minute but he's getting there, thank God."

Andy Wilkins said: “Met them once on a plane trip back to London. Had a quick chat before getting on the plane. Never meet two people willing to stop and have a chat to strangers.

“Bumped into them again in the luggage department and they both wished us a safe journey the rest of the way home.

“These are two of the most genuine people you could wish to meet. Good luck to you Dave and we hope that you get well soon. Keep biking you Hairy Biker’s. From Andy and Wendy.”
