Why aren't there any scooter magazines?

[bamaguy]

Are there any just scooter magizines out there? It would be nice to read test and reviews on them.

Seems if you live in Europe, you can get some, I think all the paper copy scooter magazines here have pretty well gone under.

[jmkjr72]

yes all the state side paper mags have gone under or gone digital only

[wortleees]

That is a shame, mags for every thing else. With the e-books booming real books will go the same
way. Prefer the old paper, you can read them by fire light.

Just read about the "Scoot Magazine". Guess it's online and you have to pay or join to read it.

[jmkjr72]

and the worst part about scoot going online is it takes people out of the scooter shops
sure i could have suscribed and had it sent to my house
but haveing to go to the scooter shop to get it is a great excuse to go and visit with your fellow scooter geeks in person

i guess the up side to it being online it is easier to hide your scooter porn

Newpapers will one day go the same way.

Printed media just can not compete with electronic in todays world, it is a shame. There is a connection when you can hold the paper in your hands and feel it, the smell of a freshly printed magazine and the texture of high quality paper, all this ads to a reading experience.

I've never subscribed to a scooter magazine but back in the day when I would read Hot Rod or some other car mag, it was great to learn by.

[jmkjr72]

you know i gave up on getting the newpaper delvired years ago even before the newspaper was online
the first issue with both of the newspapers i could get is they could never get them to me when they were suposed to
now mid you from 8th grade thru graduation my primary job was paper delivery and i always made sure the paper was there long before it had to and if the papers got to me late i called the paper and the next day there was a letter that i could insert into the papers saying it was there fault and not the cariers fault
and back in the day i would have to insert all the adds into the paper now when

the second was just the poor reporting of the newspapers the greenbay paper the news was alwasy 3 days old and the manitowoc the news was enve older

We have two news papers here, one the Saipan Variety ( the local government can't do anything wrong) and the Mariannas Variety (the local government can't do anything right),both are in print and online. It's like living in a comic book.........

The computer for all it good has destroyed many institutions.

Hand held reading, in a deep concentrative way, the real way, is one of them.

it all so shapes the brains learning curb, and makes folks think and regard life in mechanical ways.

This is a set back, pre computers you had a much more homogenous society, mother centered animal.

The arts have suffered the most, books are lost, poetry is dead, and movies have very little depth.

This might sound like good news for the shallow minded, but the shallow minded are the low of society, not the norm.

see the the book the "Shallows" for more on this throw back retrogression in the human development.
