...about 69 Pounds! /me ducks & runs Actually... this is very cool... my friend Zoltan called me tonight, and he had just finished riding on a real Segway HT (Human Transporter). Seems that one of the lead engineers has one down here in Florida, apparently to do some terrain testing. So Z got to ride it for a bit... He was really amazed at how easy and cool it was to ride... just took a few minutes to get the hang of. I asked him to write down his thoughts and email me, so we can post them up here... hopefully that will be forthcoming. But man, that's cool... =bd Relevancy Link: http://www.segway.com/ 12MPH, 10 mile range... fun! IP: Logged |

I still prefer to ride a bike, the segway looks like an old push mower............Z IP: Logged |

Zorro, what seat cover are you talking about. I don't have one on my bike, do you have one on your bike? Nayt ------------------ IP: Logged |

lol, I just love it when I can put one over someone's head. Thank god he didn't have the imagination I have. But it appears somebody did. I would post a pic of custom seat covers I have seen on the net, but I am not sure they would be appropriate......Z IP: Logged |

I got the pic in My email, I am not sure of the origin or even if it is a real product. It was a funny pic though. There was one for males, and one for females. Though I suppose there might be some people who would use both.....Z IP: Logged |
