Andy's intro

ScooteringLet it snow

Indeed while other nations cope with such weather without a whimper, here in the UK we had more panic than usual as the snow stayed around for a lot longer than it had done for many years. There were times when I thought of buying a set of snow tyres from one of the German shops, realising that it doesn’t take a lot of forethought and you can get on with life pretty close to normal. Of course, there are the deep drifts that are a little more difficult to negotiate, which reminds me I’ve not seen anyone today retailing a snow-plough attachment for the Vespa PX yet...

Controversial Chat Line Adverts Removed

Some of you may have noticed over the past couple of issues some adverts of a more ‘adult nature’ for certain telephone chatlines appearing in this publication. A fact of life I’m afraid is that ALL magazines need advertising to survive and this was one avenue that was explored for Scootering.
However I am happy to inform those readers that didn’t like such adverts appearing in a scooter magazine that I have been assured by one of the Mortons directors that such adverts have been stopped and will not appear again in Scootering. This will begin with the forthcoming January 2010/ issue 283 of Scootering Magazine (published in the UK on 24 December 2009).

And no, I didn’t like them either! - Andy

The Art of Scooters - NOW ONLY £5!

There are few, if any other cultures out there with as much passion for their transport as the scooter scene.

The Art of ScootersFrom its birth in the 1950s to today, scooterists have nurtured and ridden their favourite scooters the world over and beyond. During this journey many have chosen to personalise their machines and the result has been a scene that’s as vibrant today as it was when the Vespa and Lambretta first mobilised the post-war masses.

From custom paint to fine engraving; gold plating to engine tuning; heavy modifications to Mod inspired accessories; there’s enough here to keep the world’s art critics busy for years, and I’m proud to say that that some of the first, most innovative and the best, originated in Great Britain and are here in all their glorious colour!

Back issues

A very old issue!Scootering Magazine first hit the streets in 1985, making 2006 the year of our 21st anniversary. To celebrate this momentous occasion we delved into the Scootering archives to bring you memories from yesteryear which we published at the July edition (number 241).

In fact we did so much reminiscing that it was 180 pages big with loads of old photos, cartoons, memories, newspaper cuttings, old custom scooters plus much more, including the regular reviews and news.
Not only that but we cover mounted a free sticker for you all too! If you haven't already got a copy then the advice is to get one soon because stocks are depleting as we speak!
