Phil West. Executive Editor for MCN!
Executive?
"So what is a Forza 300 exactly, seeings we're not completely up to speed with scooters sometimes with MCN..."
"Big mega-scooters..."
"Luxurious trappings, fittings and fixtures..."
"Quite posh..."
"because half the year it's raining and cold..."
Why does'nt MCN pay someone who can UNDERSTAND the usefulness and attraction of scooters?

If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.

I presume there's a completely moronic comment about small wheels in there somewhere????

For me, good wind/weather protection is one of THE main reasons I ride scooters and not bikes. (Twist 'n' go and step through design being the other two)!
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

Re: forza review - mcn
I wrote out a long, ranting reply to MCN but I got timed out and my message disappeared
But I feel better for doing it
I'll have another go later!

Re: forza review - mcn
Don't forget, that MCM is just a comic...it's so difficult to take it seriously! Even all my biking buddies think it's a really strange read with all the childish things they say about bikes, and not to mention scooters on those rare occassions when they take one out! They wouldn't know a useful motorcycle or scooter if they were hit by one! 
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: forza review - mcn
Don't MCN realise that every time they say or report badly on a scooter they are losing more and more readers that ride scooters
And surely they must realise that a lot of scooter dealers would not bother to advertise in MCN with negative vibes on scoots.
Total morons
