I was asking if the Segway taught us anything about physics and how fucking stupid it is to make something motorized that balances in that manner... Especially something that can break speed limits in residential areas...

Sure, it's fun.. and the majority of us on this board would probably love to fuck around with one, but to spend a few thousand dollars on something that is GUARANTEED to hurt me... not so much.

At 25 mph, how panicked can you be?
