I can't read it, it's behind a paywall.

All of those links don't let me read the article unless I register or log in. If I click "not now" the scooter article disappears and it throws me over to a Blackhawks article.

Oh, I 'm not complaining. Any positive coverage of Genuine and scooters is great. And they did mention us, however briefly, so no complaints at all.

That might sell a couple of scooters, or get the out of the garage. R

That's ok. I'm used to feeling ''invisible'' and like the only person in the world around me who does what I do-ride scooters out on the back roads!

This was a pretty interesting quote from the article as well -

"In 2014, this homegrown Chicago company (Genuine Scooters) outsold the iconic Vespa to become the third-largest scooter company in the United States behind Honda and Yamaha."
