Li’l Deuce Scoot The game changer

Back in black… and gold

Welcome to the November edition of Scootering. At the risk of completely spoiling the Royal Alloy JPS-Series news report on pages 8-9, I’ve got to jump in and say something now, and it’s this: I bloody love them - in my humble opinion, I think they...

Time to hit the road

For me, being the editor of Scootering isn’t just a job, it’s an honour and from my first day in the editor’s chair, I knew it would always be difficult to pick a suitable time to say goodbye. However, now is as good a time as any. A significant...

A taste of freedom

Avery wise scooter journalist (Iggy) once wrote something along the lines of “The more someone writes about scooters the less time they have to ride them.” While my love for all things small wheeled remains undiminished, when it comes to planning my...

Vive la difference

As I type this introduction Scootering is on its annual European adventure. As you’ll see inside, we’ve been guests at this year’s Perpignan rally and called in to see our good friends at SIP for their open day. If that seems a little light on results,...

Always look on the bright side…

One of the most difficult parts of the magazine to edit is the letters page. It’s not that I’m short of content, by nature we tend to be a vocal lot. It’s more that some themes keep recurring, auto vs geared being a prime example, but it’s also true to...

MARK SARGEANT

The scooterist’s scooterist

Just do it!

I’ve got a confession to make: “My name is Stan and I’m a car restoration show addict.” It doesn’t matter which of the SOS-Find it-Flip it-Deal it shows appears on my TV, I’m instantly hooked. There’s something about dragging an unused vehicle out of...

Variety is the spice of life

Ithink I’ve previously mentioned that when asked what my favourite style of scooter is, I usually reply: “One that the owner loves” and that’s not a lie. Whether it’s a Chinese auto with a few eBay stickers, a well-ridden rally hack or a fullblown...

Time for action

We’re all aware that times are tough for dealers and manufacturers alike and I’ve recently read a piece by Steve Rose, over on BikeSocial, proposing a three-point plan to save motorcycling. The ‘Rose plan’ is simple: 1) let pressure groups get on with...

A picture paints a thousand words

In the year 2000, Mrs Stan and I moved house. Very sensibly, or so we thought, I put all our ‘miscellaneous’ boxes into the garage so we could sort them out at our leisure. Unfortunately, the garage had one hole in the roof. When it rained, the box...

RIDING GERMANY’S ROMANTIC ROAD

Lost loves

Idon’t usually have a theme in mind when I plan an edition of Scootering, it’s more a case of selecting a balance of articles that has ‘something for everyone’. Yet, when I come to write my introduction, I often find that a theme has emerged all on its...
