Scooterotica

Really?
I find that hard to believe as there is a pic of Andy on page 3 of every scootering mag, not with his moobs out though I must add.

I havent looked at that mag for many years ,and if I had I dont think I would walk around looking at everyone to see if I could recognise a "famous" face

Having spent the weekend at the Wearside Wanderers rally in Sunderland this weekend, it was Andy and Ann from Scootering who picked up 'furthest travelled' some 300 plus miles each way. I also have every single copy of Scootering and think its the best it has been since Andy took over. If people are unhappy with it why not contact them with their ideas, I'm sure it would be welcome.

Im neither happy or unhappy with it it just isnt what I want but im sure others get massive enjoyment from it

Sorry for the confusion !!!
As previously stated, It was an attempt at irony directed towards people making comments about listening to " keyboard warriors "
You can never please all the people all the time ! but the magazine is called "Scootering" Therefore it probably would feature lots of reviews of people "Scootering" (Rallies etc ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Offence meant of course !!!!

No offence intended, just the impression you give

By out much I meant out of the Gloucester area. I know a couple of lads from your way who venture out now and again

You not at Kendal VCB Rally this weekend?

Had a really enjoyable time, meeting up with people I haven't seen for a good while, and ended up taking 7 scoots (most of which I only met for the first time on Friday night) for an extra 75 mile ride out over Hardknott Pass. The lads from Essex loved it

There was one of the Scootering Team at this event, who tagged onto our group for the ride over Hardknott (and back).

I'm appalled at the negativity some are making towards Scootering magazine. Back in the day it was bimonthly but due to demand went monthly. At that time it was an emerging magazine alongside other mags and fanzines. Unlike the fanzine type mags it could actually be bought in the local newsagent. I was quite proud at the time because the bikers had Back Street Heroes and we didn't really have anything (yes I do know of the connection between the two mags). In the quiet years it was good to see that some people were still out there riding their shopping bikes. It kept me up to date with what was happening a lot of the time. I fell out with the NSRA and kept to only a couple of rallies a year for a few years and in that time I enjoyed some of the write ups but also the photos of the scooters at the rallies.
I have travelled many places on a scooter. I have never sought out people but I have met (probably through drinking beer) most if not all the Scootering crew. I have met them at small rallies as well as the big ones. All are scooter riders (obviously not the people behind the magazine)and all enjoy a good laugh. You should be grateful that there is a high street magazine that at least has a picture of a scooter on the front page. Adverts - you don't have to bloody read them. They have stuck most if not all in the middle. If ever it stops being published I expect you're all be on here moaning we need a national magazine
( presuming digital media has not taken over with such things as Facebook). Scootering sponsors a large number of events every year. Support the people who support you not some comedy fly by night company wanting to put nothing back into Scootering.
Rant over.
