Si and Dave are joining us for a lunchtime webchat on Monday 17 September at 1pm.
A bit of background info: The Hairy Bikers met on the set of a Catherine Cookson drama 
. Si was Assistant Director and Dave a makeup artist, specialising in prosthetics . On discovering their mutual love of motorbikes and food, The Hairy Bikers were born. Since then food has been their mission, producing several TV series and six books.
In August they embarked on a mission to change their lifestyle and lose two-and-a-half stone, while staying true to their love of great food. The Hairy Dieters gave themselves just three months to complete the mission and simultaneously produce a book, The Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight which, they say is 'real food for real people, not skinny minnies'.
Kicking off at the end of September 2012, The Hairy Bikers are embarking on a whirlwind tour of the UK. If you send in a question to The Hairy Bikers or join in the webchat, you will be entered into a draw to win a pair of tickets to not only see the Hairy Bikers live at the nearest venue to you, but to join them on stage and be cooked for by them. For more details and tickets, please go to www.hairybikers.com/tour
Chat with the Hairy Bikers at 1pm on Monday, or post a question in advance.
WEBCHAT GUIDELINES: 1. One question per member plus one follow-up. 2. Keep your question brief. 3. Don't moan if your question doesn't get answered. 4. Do be civil/polite. 5. If one topic or question threatens to overwhelm the webchat, MNHQ will usually ask for people to stop repeating the same question or point.

Hi...
Just want to say we really love your diet book. Both my partner and I have lost over 6 kilos each and it's still dropping 
... What I'd really like to know is when will there be another diet book and if your not going to write another how can I adapt the recipes in your other books?
btw.. I wrote a blog about our experience using your diet book and was accused of being on commission 
. I wish I was, there is a whole communitie of expats here in the Netherlands eager to jump onto the Hairy diet !!!
Helloooo!! Quick question for Dave!
Dave, do you happen to remember going over to the Isle of Man in 2007 and meeting a biker in Heysham (big chap, glasses)? it was bucketing down (you were moaning about the weather!) with rain...you were talking to said biker about bikes and you asked for a go on his (on the island I understand), and he said...you disappeared for an hour on it and loved it! it was a BMW 1200 I think; you thought it was something smaller. Anyway, Chris says hello! and we are coming to see you both in Dartford in February.
Love, love, love The Hairy Bikers!!! I'm a biker too!!!
Oh yes! love to watch you both cook too and you are looking fab ~ keep it up.x
Hello Si & Dave!
Just wanted to add my general adoration. I came to see your tour in Salford a few years back and was really inspired. I have your perfect pies book and the breakfast pie recipe is a firm family favourite (although we find it seriously improved by frying some mushrooms with the onions )
We have two young children and my husband doesnt get in till late. Inevitably this can mean I end up cooking two, occasionally three separate meals in the evenings. Have you got any recommendations for anything that can be made for the children in the early evening then quickly jazzed up for us once the wine is open the children are in bed?
Hello! I don't watch much telly normally (though currently am breastfeeding hence am rather chained to the sofa) but when I do catch one of your shows I really enjoy it. I really like the way you are two ordinary northern blokes doing stuff that is typically done by posh southerners .
What would you recommend in the way of an easy cook snack or light meal suitable for someone spending a lot of time on the sofa breastfeeding? Something that it's worth always having around, like toast and jam, but more substantial.
We love you here too. My 4 year old son pointed at a picture of Dave on one of your books and said 'he looks like my Daddy' His Daddy is hoping to be a hairy dieter too
Does Si actually like cycling? Didn't think he looked too keen on the programme!
I'm loving the Hairy Dieter's tv series and bought the book with good intentions of losing some weight, but THEN the Mississippi Adventure started on Good Food and the diet has flown straight out the window!!
I sat and watched the game last night with a HUGE Po' Boy filled with salad, remoulade and fried shrimp. I blame you!
My question is, will there ever be a book for the Mississippi recipes? I have the iPad app, but it's just not the same!
Can I just say a very embarrassed 'sorry' please to Si and Dave. They came to Carlisle to book-sign at Xmas in 2010. I was the pathetic idiot who kept saying 'this is so exciting. Isn't this exciting? I'm so excited' while you both signed your lovely Xmas cook book for me. I am deeply 
, I promise I won't do it again . Can I just say you are both as lovely as you appear on TV, and very well done on the fantastic weight loss!
Hi Dave & Si
I was very disappointed that you didn't join in the dancing on Sunday Brunch yesterday! Would you ever consider going on Strictly Come Dancing? I reckon you would be great movers and I and many others would love to see you on it.

Oh and come back to Elgin soon please! You were outside my (EX!) husband's work, he knew I was a huge fan, knew you were there filming and didn't phone to tell me :( 
Just learn how to say Moray properly first
