Uno motorcycle.

A while ago a friend/colleague of mine and I did some concept work in the moto industry. For sh*ts and giggles we played around with the idea of a one wheeled motorbike full of gyroscopes like a Segway, and eventually made a concept bike (Ducati branded of course). Well, some 18 year old made one it looks like. Ass ugly, but they say it works.

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

Does that count as a wheelie?

Looks like it can high-side at 5 mph.

Looks like you might fall forward if you downshift, oh wait, would that be a stoppee? [laugh]

Did I just click on a time machine? Did we just roll over to a fresh 2008? What wonders does this year hold for us!?  [laugh]
