rollin on spinners, when it is not flippin someone off

We've always thought the biggest problem with Segways, design wise, was their clinical sterility. Still, it's such blankness that makes them eminently pimpable, on the scale of, say, lowrider bikes (though, slamming one's face into the ground after throwing the Segway's gyroscopes out of wack might be one concern to address). MTX Audio seems to have made the first attempt by slapping spinner hubs on a Segway, which the company showed at the CES electronics show last month. There's way more that could be done -- the possibilities of for purple velvet alone could fill a sketchbook.


All 23,500 of Segway's two-wheeled Human Personal Transporters have been recalled over a software glitch that could cause the wheels to unexpectedly reverse direction, causing riders to fall off. It's a problem so far only affecting six riders, and it can be fixed by either bringing it into one of the 100 Segway dealerships and service centers across the world or if need-be the company will pay for shipping charges. Although it's a voluntary total recall, we don't think it's got anything to do with the very well publicized "accident" our beloved leader suffered at the merciless handlebars of one of the devices. Because we're definetly not saying he told the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to put the screws on the maker of the lovable and huggable 12.5 mph scooter-thingie, but well, he is "the decider," isn't he?

very funny...

I still can't quite fathom how a Segway is truly "pimpable", not matter what you do to it...
