The Long Awaited Scooter Photos

For those of you who do not receive my newsletter, I thought I would submit the following photos of my scooter for what I’m sure will be to your enjoyment at my expense, of course. I’ve actually grown to be quite proud of my scooter. Not only was it quite affordable to take off [...]

Damien and Oliver
