    finnally an inventer who not only has good ideas, but style as well.
    That looks good, not like some other similar "bikes" that were ugly ducklings

    Ok what's the very first thought that pops in your mind when you first see that pic?
























    DEATHTRAP!!!




    lol alright, buggered if I would be seen dead on that thing...........oh wait.....
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    What if you wanted to stop in a hurry?? 25MPH is quite fast! i think it was good old George W Bush that proved on a segway that even a powerfull giroscope won't necessarily keep you up right!

    The dickhead forgot to switch it on first. If it's not on, it won't stay upright.

    Anyway, YOU turkeys stole my thread! Lol. I posted this up last week

    Try reading the article before calling me a numpty, you NUMPTER!

    lthough it resembles a unicycle, the Uno has two wheels side by side and uses gyroscopic technology to stay upright.

    Well, you could try thinking of it as a very cool segway instead of a very stupid motorcycle. It's all about perspective :-)
    My bike doesn't leak oil; it marks its territory.
