    if big bikes were shit and chinese. thats what would be shown in mcn because there the new stuff. they need more custom scoots but no one wants to show anything they have now worried about people knowing about what they have

    the scene has changed and so has the mag. its info about new scoots that are avaliable (not old hat 2 stroke scoots) no offence a guy buying the mag to buy a decent commuter isnt really interested in a chavvy looking runner or typh

    The scene has changed and so have the people. the scene is now shit so why cater for the small majority. we would like to see more custom scoots. but most people do not

    I've never read it, seen it on the shelves but never been interested because nothing on the cover that interests me, E.G a fat ugly 3 wheeled auto bike plastered over it this month.
    This could really get the scooter scene recognized if they could do it like a max power mag, for scoots. I'd be a monthly subscriber for sure, would love to see what's hiding in people sheds, I can't get enough of these forums lol.

    But ye, the current readers of that magazine will not be interested in what us lot would be interested in, I think thats the problem.

    We should all register there and back it up, they might not delete the thread so fast... :(
    Gotta wait for admin to accept registering

    the point of a scooter mag based on autos IS THE MINORITY. how many people actually buy tag to buy a scoot then dont buy another? point exactly.. its a fucking sales panflet wiht a pricetag! (definatly no pun intended)

    why have the mag if its not full of "chavvy typhs and runners"? as for it being chavvy to own a real scoot, me thinks you just got boring when you hit 20.

    real scoots are about blue smoke and driving fast, blowing up often and meeting mates from all over the country to get smashed an ride your bike on some pointless mission the next day. sorry if thats not the way you see scoots anymore, it is irelevent, this is what scoots ARE regardless of wether its in fassion. scootering isnt there to sell scoot's from china (maybe india, but there still identical to the real ones) nether is any other specific topic mag or "lyfestyle magizine" if you will....


    but ye, everyones entitled to there own opinion... i just want the OLD tag back... its probably what KEPT the scene going.. exposure and aspiration (you know, like scootering is to the british trad scene)

    it WAS the "max power" of the scoot scene! for a good few years.. then they got picky about bikes, and then sold out...


    as for the current readers.. other than old boring people riding 4 strokes millions of miles (the FAR minority, there SCOOTERS) the "regular readers" are once only.. when they buy a scoot.. thas it, maybe another issue, then realize its shit an not bother.. poor economics, as "people's friend" magazine is poor in sales compaird to "max power" or the like, its not like these magazines were not once "minority" based, everyone wiht a fresh driving licence and a corsa bangs a set of shoddy rims and whatever there pocketmoney will but them from ripspeed.

    any other mag.. vw world, minimag, steam trains weekly, all specific to minority.. thas the point. not like this forum is full of tumbleweeds now is it.. what if there were a shack sticker in every newsagents in the country?.. see where im going wiht this?

    fact is if the scene's mag's were full of affordable tunned bikes from round the country (more 70's in other words) wich there are millions of out there worthy of a feature, it would encourage more people into the scene.. the ilegality of it is bullshit as you can talk about anything you like in a mag as anyone can go get a full licence, get a ped, register it a motorcycle and insure as "modified" and its legal, if people wanna break the law thats there own choice, as is everything (like running round wiht guns... but ye) up to them...

    MORE FOR ENGLISH MODDED SCOOTS IN TAG

    nah man, a guy looking for a decent commuter isnt part of the 'scooter scene', hes just a mug that wants to get to work quicker, therefore they shouldnt care if he doesnt want to see thugged out runners and typhs.. because hes buying a mag that represents the 'scooter scene'
    so he should have to look a few bikes that represent it.

    the scene hasnt changed to the extent where everyone is buying 4t zip 50s as their first bikes, and then moving onto badoy piaggio mp3s when they turn 17.

    thats just the commuters, who dont give a fuck about what kind of scooter theyre riding as long as it gets them from a to b and doesnt kill their wallet.

    i agree with minor. 1 172/70 or any nice modded bike a month and i would buy it, and im sure alot of others would aswell. lol we should really be writing all of this on tag so they can read it too lool

    i totally agree with what most people are saying, read 1 mag then gave up as it is utter shit, ive not been in the scooter scene for as long as some of you but one of the reasons i think it is so small is because when the 16 year olds get the peds most of them will go looking for a mag to see what they can do to the peds, as people do when they get into cars, but as theres no good auto mags with much inspiration in most of them give up and get rid of them, so your back to square one,

    if tag did start doing one custom/modded scoot a month id buy it, and i wouldnt mind that the rest is covered with ad's as id of already read what i bought the mag for

    Need something to jumpstart the scene if it wernt for youtube and my boredum id doubt i know what a 172 was probably why most 17 year olds buy cars?

    and rick thats so appealing if i was in a shop and saw that on the shelf it'd be bought? not reading shit about speedifght 3's utter wank to be honest

    its like it wants to be auto trader or something they need to either get some interesting shit or rename there fucking mag :confused:cratch:
