Just kidding. Here’s Stella’s new spokesmodel. Guess her name. Pretty hot in a Frida Kahlo-meets Audrey Hepburn kinda way. And she’s not a greasy-looking blonde stripper like those other scooter companies use. Print her and glue her to Myk to thank him for the tip-off.

Oh, I almost forgot! The entire M.A.S.S. Stock class was at the Empty Bottle for The Patsys’ show, and I took a photo:

Seated: #1 Stewart Nicol (Supersonic). Standing, left to right: #2 Myk Rodriguez (2strokeBuzz/Primo), #3 Matt DeVries (2strokeBuzz/Primo), #4 Ryan Bastianelli (Moped Hospital/Ryetronics), #5 Tim Youngblood (Andiamo!), #6 Mike Durso (Solo/Speed Shed).

I blatantly stole this joke from someone on TSS. I’m sure whoever it was will take credit for it right away, unless it was Gome, who’s in Guatemala.

Dave McCabe sent 2SB a copy of Bajaj’s 1999-2000 interactive annual report a couple months ago, and I’ve finally figured out the video compression software enough to wedge one of the 24MB ads into a 1MB file. So, bootlegged for the first time on American public internet, 2SB proudly presents this silly, loveable, overcompressed Bajaj Legend ad from 1999. The Chetak ad’s on the way. Thanks, Dave!

Which Vina do you love? Corporate Vina or Rally Vina?

I love both Vinas. Man, I’m in trouble when they upgrade her photoshop.

Durso and I did some research this morning and came up with a shocking revelation: Guinness has way less alcohol than PBR. Who knew?

So it was a fun weekend, Matt and Brooke came down, and Friday we went to Stew’s show, then Saturday we all wedged into Myk’s tiny riceboy car and went to the Duke of Perth for lunch, and Scooterworks, and I had a little party on Saturday night, at which Matt astounded us with news of the ressurection of Grain Belt. Our plan to go to the skate park on Sunday was thwarted by snow and cold, but I spent Saturday night skating back and forth from the beer fridge in my basement, and I think I’m now good enough at rolling in a straight line, especially when I’m drunk, to do some shopping. Wayne from Zmph has a longboard that’s like five feet long, you can walk around on it while you’re rolling downhill, and still have room for a cube of Old Style. Sunday night we went to the bar just east of Bowlin’ (Bowlin’ was closed for some reason), and it’s awesome, more on that later.

This interview with Stewart Nicol of the Patsys was so covert that Stewart wasn’t even aware that he was being interviewed. To maintain this level of secrecy, I couldn’t risk taping or writing down what he said, so it’s all paraphrased and I probably got it all wrong:

I’m outta here. See you at the Bottle tonight. Weekend! Party! Before I go, two links I sent to Slatch, then posted here, anyway (I think that’s a blog no-no):

1. If you’re gonna sell out, do it right, and
2. My favorite basketball player since Jud Buechler. (Thanks to Matthew for that one)

Racecar Bob let us know that if you can stand walking into the redneck rummage sale they call Wal*Mart, these are on sale. Cool!

Hey, this guy hates all the same people I hate. Right on. Can you believe Sheryl Crow has been torturing us for ten years?

M.A.S.S. racer/ Supersonic mechanic Stewart “Can You Hear Me Now” Nicol’s band, The Patsys, are opening for the Goblins at the Empty Bottle Friday night. Good stuff. We’ll be there.

Not content with looking at scooters? Well, how about rating them? There’s a meager selection at the moment, but you’ll fix that, won’t you. Pretend mine runs and give it a “10.”

Everything should be working now, there’s a redirect to take you from”index.html” to “index.php.” If you’re linking to the site, simply link to “www.2strokebuzz.com” and that will automatically take you to the index page. Thanks for your patience!

Pete, Pete, Pete. Bryan: “I can see Gary Glitter being a pedophile (well, because he is), or Roger Daltrey, but Pete?” Vina: “See me, Feel MeOe”
