Throw away your Fireblade...

.... and stick one of these up your arse:-

Here comes :

"Roll your way to obesity and heart failure !"

Technically brilliant though.

 

I want one

So, a hands-free Segway, that only does 4mph.

And a ginger one at that.

 

I'll stick to my Fireblade thanks. : )

What's wrong with just walking?

 

Honda didn't invent it.

 

I hear that Ural sell a motorcycle combination that creates a very
realistic walking experience in almost 99% of outings.

 

So, basically, it's a Segway that can go sideways as well?

And also saves you from even having to use the basic muscle groups
required to stand up?

Don't you go heh'ing, you snorky fucking hairdresser's apprentice. Get
yourself a real bike and suffer the ... oh, you had a Slick Bass
engine, you know all about it.

 

Yeah, but like a lot of things the first use of the technology is
often fairly useless (ie fibre optic, oooh isn't that a pretty lamp)
but this one intrigues me as to where it might progress.

 

I had a Jaguar like that.

I saw a guy on a segway in Bali hooning down the main street in Kuta against
the one way traffic flow. He hit a slippery manhole cover, did a 360 and
binned it in a big way. I thought it was one of the funniest things I have
ever seen, mainly because he was unhurt.

It seems rather simple to me.

2 motors which do forwards and backwards when turning together, and
side to side when turning against each other. Bung on a couple of
gyros and mixed (1) speed controllers and bingo.

Be interesting to CIHAGM on.

(1) like elevon mixing on an RC plane.

 

My current Ural provides a very realistic pushing experience. I have
gotten mediaeval on its arse and it has responded by turning in a very
mediaeval performance, including trials by fire, breaking on the
wheel, and petrolboarding. So far, it hasn't managed to seize a brake
caliper, but it's only a matter of time.

I see it creating a very realistic ebaying experience in the near
future.
