    isn't scooter tuning more illegal than car tuning especially when most of them are like 16 just wondering maybe that's why there scared of turning english kids into tuned ped riders

    Too fucking right...

    I agree with you 100% minor, the only thing really keeping the auto scooter scene nowadays is the forums and even so them are pretty much dead so some of the forums ive been on.

    The english scooter scene NEED a max power, obviously with proper facts, not like airfilter BIG INCREASE POWER! get one now. etc. Something that tells you whats what. Like the german mags. they have a few now and all of them compare exhuasts new products and shit.

    Rick that mag cover looks sick, even still if it has the 172 over it i'd still buy it..
    Petrol mag has tryed to bring this to life tbh, but ive never really seen it in the shops online the first one online :/

    if you read my posts i already explained this.. its not illegal to tune a scooter... its illegal to tune one at 16 if its registerd as a moped...anyone can do a licence and ride a dirty fast evo on road all legal..

    as for the car scene being illegal? NO. its illegal to mod your car and not tell the insurance, its also illegal for any 16 year old to drive a car but it doesent stop boys buying max power at 13 and waiting 4 years now does it?

    il be your reference for your new job at tag rick :grin: nice work :good:

    i agree with what ride and minor and the likes are saying but see where monts coming from.

    london kids aint as in to scoots as we were at that age any more because they are all shit now,

    think about it, any one that's in to big bikes, or cars.
    when you pick up a copy of fast bikes or fast cars and see a kitted r6 or golf gti you know you can go out and buy one of a dealer or 2nd hand of a trusted private seller and do the same thing your self.

    where now days scoots are all ugly, and slow 4t that cost more then a 16 year old earns to tuned.

    all the the 2t's are nearly as old as the kids that are old enough to buy them, and most 2nd hand bikes have got major problems due to their age and the seller is some dodgy thief who probably don't even own it.

    the scenes fucked because their is no progress.

    the manufacturers don't try to improve shit, so after market tuning company's don't so the scene is just left to die out.

    shiny and minor are doing more work to advance tuning then pm are!!!.

    things change and now days kids want a rs 125 or yamy 125 not a ugly slow arse 4t runner.
    their aint no 16 year old with a poster of a nrg power on his wall.

    and then theirs the fact that they always get stolen so you can even have a nice one with out having to secure it like your virgin daughter.

    that's why i want the car for piratically, the 600 for my love of riding, and the typh for my play toy when their is a meet or a ride out.

    i see (2t) scoots as collectables now so i can see why tag don't want to take the risk of changing their mag.

    its a good thing forums like this are about or other wise the scene would be dead and buried for sure

    nah see, every kid round here has a scoot.. the london scene is no more, scoots at young ages are more trouble than there worth (get robbed/bikes go missing overnight) hence the london scene is dead.. maccy d's down here is FULL of scoots every friday night (like 50+) sop to say kids aint interested is wrong and a little narrow minded..


    fact is the forum is dead and full of the readers the mag caters for.. old boring commuters.. theres fuck all about racing/drag racing yet theres events every other week.. theres nothing about tunning innovations as the general inacurate consensis is "tunning scoots is illegal isnt it?" NO NO NO its not illegal ATALL. riding an unmodded scoot should be.. riding liek a fag to work daily on your mp3 because it does 50 to the galloon is NOT cool nor is it a scene.. its a lack of options for skint people who just plain cant afford a diesel fiesta!! no wonder the mag's the way it is.. theres 50 odd active members on the forum, all singing the mag's praises for what it is, when really there JUST random guys who ride to work on stock scoots and have no life whatsoever so sit about on a site talking about there new gloves or how good the storage space on the new x9 is :confused:

    wastiong my time, but hey ho, gotta try it now and again, who knows, maybe they mnight see this from a financial side as lets be fair, theres BIG money in scooter tunning and bigger money in adverttising. advertising pays for mags.. kids buying tunning magazines would mean BIG malossi/polini adverts (liek there already are) but from more manufactors..

    fuyck me i really dont get all the negativity towards my post.. i want the mag to do what it claims to do, be on the forfront of the scooter scene.. not be at the forfront of commuter transport.

    what part of twist and go applies to 4 stroke GEARD BIKES????????

    i can only speak for the kids in London coz me nah live in the sticks ta rarse :p .

    im surprised your post is still up their but their readers seem loyal to the rubbish the mag prints.

    one of the guys takes a little subliminal dig at a forum (this one?) complaining that they are heavily in to modding as if that's a bad thing :rolleyes: .

    to be honest i say the best solution is to start a new mag

    there should be no need to start a new mag tho... might stick this in the scootering forum an see what trhey havr to say... surely the real trad guys are sick of seing auto's and conversions everywhere i there mag?


    but ye, the people on the forum are and always have been suckups wanting a mod position or even a job at the mag, they wouldent dare stand up to them and actually agree that the mag is shit. its why i left the forum, full of tards that hate scooter tunning, yet sit on a scooter forum all night.. think THEY need to step back and think about what there in the "scene" for and exactly ewhat the bloody scene is!!

    euro scene, full of modded scootrs, british traditional scene, full of modded scoots.. tag mag, geard for commuters and first time buyers, fuck all to do wiht the scene.

    they wanna keep it that way they need to remove anything that associates them wiht the scooter scene as they clearly are NOT. its misrepresentation of the country's scene (you know, the good bikes/hard work/wevents that go on nationally that get ignored) our scene is poluted wiht an air of conformity and stale conversation and reviews on what new full body bike skirt rain cover some old sexless middleaged man wants to buy himself for his birthday

    Yeah I got some of the old mags, used to buy it all the time but don't even bother picking them up now. I stopped buying it after one of the biggest events of the year (A.S.S, the 2006 one which was massive, loads of peds, stalls, compeitions) they had ONE page for it all. Yet about 10 pages of reviews of chinese crap. I got a little mention because I won runner up custom auto :mrgreen: but was expecting like a 4 page spread.

    If you look a few topics down on there I've asked about putting the VX in there when it's done but not sure if it will go ahead now, would like to though.

    joined the facebook group and left a comment :beg:

    twist and go used to be a good mag, was my bible to be honest, long before i discovered internet forums, hell i didnt even have a computer back then :confused:cratch:

    was some good articles back then, exhaust pipe dyno shoot outs, tyre tests, fitting guides,
    custom scoots...it was all knowledge i soaked up like a sponge, i couldnt wait for the mag to come out :yahoo:

    i dont really bother buying it too much these days, just the odd issue now and again

    says it all really :rules:

    the fact is a.s.s didnt get a big write up as the staff covering the event (noit naming names) sat about, huffing and puffing at people doing wheely's.. stuck there nose up and plain didnt talk to anyone. fact is the scene cant be shown if the staff dont wanna know the people that make it what it is..

    a.s.s could have easaily been a big write up full of pics and info/conversations.. fuck me max power interview 4 girlfriends a month from whatever cruise they attend... the styaff are more than aware the scene is about modding cars (for whatever reason, oh ye speeding doing handbrakes in carparks, dog=hnuts and oither ILLEGAL activity's) yet nobody cares as there all part of the scene...

    what bikes to do the tag staff ride? all new 4t's (probably bought on concession for giving a good review) its bullshit cover to cover and could be sop much better if it wernt for narrow minded staff thinking they know what "the scene" is when clearly they live in the middle of nowhere and dont even go out on REGULAR rides wiht local friends/scoot boys...

    people got sick of working for free while the owner made his dosh off advertising (well, that was his plan) then he ran back to tag mag.. if he would have charged a pound an issue it would still be about today
