Demo-nation

Anyone who’s read this Blog for a while or has gone through some of my previous posts will know full well that I am interested in the Segway HT. I have yet to see one up close, I am yet to ride one…

Well, that changes tomorrow.

With me gimping around I am really more interested than I had been in the Segway and I started looking into getting a demonstration from somewhere — be it Brookstone in International Plaza mall in Tampa, or talking someone into taking a trip to Orlando and going to Celebration and NEVRLand where the sell these things…

Of course, no one was biting…

So I pouted and just started talking on Segwaychat.com and asking a few questions that I had asked before when I was really talkative on that site…

This morning, to my surprise I got emailed by a Segway owner not more than 4 miles from my house. I was freaked and thrilled when I found out someone has one of those things in Palm Harbor (it seems there are a few with them in North Pinellas) and was more than willing to give a demonstration on how to use a Segway to me. So, tomorrow afternoon I’m taking my first glide ever. I’m stoked, I’m thrilled and I am hoping my body doesn’t screw up the works and make gliding a challenge.
