Hi Don,

Thanks for the welcome. That gyro thingie is a Segway - last years model (okay, it's 2 years old, but they don't bring out new models ever' year). They're pretty safe too. Safer than a bicycle. I use it as a handicap mobility device, so I can take it into stores and just about anywhere a wheelchair can go. There's some people who think it's too much fun to be a handicap device, so they balk at letting Segways in places like Disneyland and a few cities have banned them from various areas. But that's just because they don't understand them (is that a nicer way to say they're ignorant :O ).

I modify ever'thing:


Go 'head, click it, you know you wanna.

Those are spinner caps I got from a Segway dealer in New Mexico - a rip at $69.00. I lost one right after that picture was taken and got some really cool looking wire wheel covers for less than half the money and they fit better the way I modified them (sorry, no pic - gotta find another model).

PS: Thanks, Richard. You posted as I was composing this. Appreciate the welcome.
