Body Motorcycle

[texasmad]

Here is something pretty interesting I ran across and I know a bunch of the guys on this forum ride a bike so was wondering if they would strap one of these on and give it a try. It looks like it would be a blast but i think I would have to be in a wide open area with no chance of seeing any other kind of vehicle.

I would guess it might be a bad time to pass gas while that thing is reading body movements....

man that would be coooooooooool. we used to build and race one wheel motercycles we called unimotorcycles and we had a orginization called the AMERICAN NATIONAL UNIMOTORCYCLIST SOCIETY yep that was us A.N.U.S. I WILL SEE IF I CAN GEY THE VIDEOS WE MADE AND POST EM ONE DAY THEY ARE WILD.

It's like scary cool. I want one, or I want to try it, but I'll bet even potholes hurt!

at first look the first thing I thought was "does it fly?" kinda looks like a jet pack

I've ridden a Segway once - that's exciting enough for me

first time I saw one of those was at an air port, cop was riding around on one.
Now some one down the street has one.
I would love to try both of them!!

Segway - a TRUELY brilliant solution, in search of a problem
Pratical uses ???
SOME types of Police/Security work.
SOME mail deliveries.
I'd love one but, have no idea what I'd do with it

IF they could do 35-40 mph AND were "street legal" [like a Moped], a whole world of possibilities would open up

those segways are kinda neat though. they have one on the tv show "mythbusters" and it does look like it would be fun and useful for certain applications but at what they cost just gimme my Harley and lets call it a day lol
