Smiths and Salford Lads Club feature heavily in "Bike" magazine

This month's Bike magazine has a Smiths-laden article written by intrepid bike explorer Dan Walsh.

Dan is a bit of a legend in motorcycle circles - having spent most of the last few years travelling africa and then south america and writing for Bike magazine. Well, his travelling in south america kind of ground to a halt in the bars of Argentina.

He returned a year or so ago to look after his ill father and has settled in his home town of Salford.

A feature in this month's mag has photos of him outside Salford Lads Club, with the title "Strangeways Here We Come?" he even sneaks in the lines "I was delayed, I was waylaid" and "Nothing's changed, I still love you"

I was blown away with the article - Dan is a hero to all of us that forgot our bike dreams and settled for a 9-5 existence. But I'm afraid that most of the Smiths' references will be lost on the good readers of Bike - The photographer tells him "No one will know what you're on about"

Top of my birthday wish list this year is Dan's new book.

seeing as no one else has commented I'll have a go!
I read Bike, I'm a biker and I loved this months issue. If i'm the only one that "got it" then all the better. One of the main reasons I'm a biker and like The Smiths is it's a bit off mainstream, never follow the crowd and all that.
Dan is a legend, very funny man.
