I subscribed a couple of weeks ago and received issue #46, don't know if that is the latest or not, but I have enjoyed reading it.

so apparently the local barnes and noble didn't stop carrying scoot!. because i picked up the issue today. i just didn't realize that it didn't come out monthly so that's the reason i could never find it. i sat down while there with my cup of coffee and read the article about the accident with the Scoot! magazine person Josh and I had to fight the tears back. I am very much a person who rides without much gear mostly for convenience but after reading that, once winter comes my ski jacket will probably be replaced with a protective jacket. that was such an awful story!

that was a nasty wreck
i dont have a protective jacket but what i wear is a carhart work jacket its not leather but very durable canvas type material
the big thing is just to have something between you and the road if you take a spill and the more abrasion resistant the material the better

... underdog they show all european motorsports in miami beach and north miami beach ... Thanks, jmk. I looked the address for this place and it is located in an area I always ride by, so I wondered why I never saw the place. Well, I rode by there today looking for it and it was closed down.  I was going to go to the one in Hollywood, FL to check it out, but didn't get a chance today, will try next week. I hear that place is a great scooter store, although they deal more with Vespas, but it won't hurt to check it out. |
