(Steve, like Honda, is filled with shame for his lack of posts and failure to respond to emails.)
Howdy y’all! Man… I know I deserve a swift kick in tail for slackin’ so hard lately. It seems like it’s always hard to get the Scoop machine kick started after a break. Must… focus… must commit to daily… post.
If you were feeling “left out in the cold”, I apologize… sincerely.
Ok, so NOW I’m startin’ to feel it. Prepare for some scoopage!
I’ve got some HUGE news around a little Italian scooter manufacturer that we all know and love (and it’s not Vespa) and some other nifty tidbits coming this week.
*Steve gives her ONE MORE KICK*
VAAAAAAAAROOOOOOOOOM! Ping-ping-ping-ping-ping *cough cough*
