What's annoying is that the What Scooter? listings are so full of obvious errors which remain there for years and years, thus its clear that no-one on the editorial staff can be arsed to check it ever!

I looked through the OTW thingy that came with T&G and that really is a waste of paper - though I guess it might be more useful for those new to bikes/scoots whom presumably its aimed at.

Ditto - but then MS&L got dumbed down as well! Its still OK, but not worth shelling out for each month.

Cant agree more about the "what Scooter" listings, the amount of maxis that they had never tested beggars belief.
Unless of course the manufacturers wouldnt let them have any, cus they were twats.

I've just been reading the latest "Twist'n'go" and found it quite an interesting edition. The reviews of the MP3 and Peugeot Metropolis were quite a good read. The other free bit hasn't got much in it, and what there is is all about CBTs and testing etc. for newbies.

Us muppetts should all write up full non biased reviews on our own bikes! Would be better detail, accuracy and more use!...

I'd be happy to compile pros and cons of my bike....

Just like the old UMG... articles written by riders are always far better than reading the guff trotted out by professional journalists, endlessly rehashing industry press releases and non-stories about Photoshop mock-ups that'll never see production.

T&G won't be missed; it's been crap for years.
