Is Dio pronounced, "d-eye-o", with a long "I", or is the I pronounced like an E, as in Rio Grande?
I seriously don`t know, and I don`t want to sound like a moron when talking to scooter folks. OK experts, what say thee?

Re: A question of pronounciation
I kinda thought so, but the guy I bought it from was quick to say "dyo" after I said "deeo". Maybe it`s a yankee thing?
