No good in NZ Kim, the motorists would still find a way of knocking you off it!

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Geez, Segways have come a long way... :D

Agreed. Looks pretty slick, but all I can think is "Death on Wheels"...

Aren't we a stayed bunch - where's our sense of adventure?

Mine is firmly in life, not death at high speed. 8)

Yeah, my big thing would be dragging on the ground also and I imagine gravel rash on the beer belly would be quite painful.

The issue I have with it is that you are strapped into it. If there is a wreck, there is no getting away from it. And if you do get away from the body straps, you helmet is mounted to the bike. If you go one way and your body goes another, things could get very ugly.
