If a scooter had hands to make devil horns with, this would be it. Who knows how it got the name. Perhaps when Honda's engineers realized they had developed a scooter that could top an apocalyptic 42 miles PER HOUR, a two wheeled demon cast in molten silver and teal, they knew it could only be named....THE DIO. And what of the demon elf, Ronnie James Dio? Could he possibly be EVIL ENOUGH to climb up on a small stool and hoist a leg over the fire breathing scooter that bears his very name? Perhaps.....perhaps NAY. Although he seems to handle a broadsword pretty well in this video against a guy with dirty washcloths draped over his face. And who did he get the broadsword from, you ask? No, not Honda. This musclebound blacksmith guy who obviously owed Dio money and didn't feel like getting his ass whipped by a 4 foot man with rotting hair extensions! And look closely for the EVIL devotee in the satin prom dress with CAT EYES! Personally, I'm not sure which is more evil, the 2 wheeled Dio or the moldy devil-rocking Dio - does the scooter have a loud horn??? Your votes, please.

If this post has made anyone laugh, I must warn you that you should not TRIFLE with DARK FORCES! And always wear a helmet and boots that cover your ankles when riding a scooter.
Yeah, Dio is on the north side of 65 years old - I wonder if his Depends are made from chainmail.....

I got to look at this work and nearly died laughing (oh, that may be an exaggeration, my sense of proportion ain't what it's sposed to be). Light a fuckin match for an encore. DIO! DIO! DIO!
