Classic Scooterist – August/September 2018

There are many significant years that occur during our lifetime; many are
specifically significant for personal reasons (in my case that would have been
my 16th birthday, as it meant that I was now old enough to ride). For others it could be their 18th birthday, or that 50th wedding anniversary, or possibly even that 65th birthday retirement party.

As far as Classic Scooterist goes, we’ve already passed two significant date milestones – our 10th anniversary of publication and more recently (last year in fact) our 20th. Well, of course, that makes this our 21st year in print.

So should we be celebrating this when it’s such a short time period since last year?

In the scheme of things you could consider that we are just another year older, but the number 21 has always held some significance; as human beings we have always traditionally looked at 21 as the year that we came of age and transferred from one chapter of our life into another. And whilst that might not be the case as far as Classic Scooterist is concerned, we can still count it as a significant milestone in our scooter journey through life. There have been many significant changes within the scooter scene since we first published in 1997 – some good and some bad – it’s been an eventful time.

Let’s hope that we will still be celebrating in another 21 years’ time.
