Just wanted to let everyone know that Stan Dobrowski was gracious enough to let me try out his Segway on Wednesday. It was my first time -- amazing, just as I'd expected. Stan was incredibly nice through and through, from providing directions to training me in its use. I hope when you give demos, you're all as good about it as Stan was!

Thanks, Hubbah, for the kind words. Thanks for lunch. I really enjoyed our conversation.
I certainly identified with your eagerness to give the Segway a try because I felt the exact same way in January when Frank Tropea was kind enough to offer to meet me (and others) for a demo. I just wanted to pass along the kindness Frank expressed. See, it is contagious. <grin>
I gave three more quick on-the-spot demos today as I rode around town. I was cruising at full speed down the middle of a side street near my house and passed three guys standing on the sidewalk. One of them called out, "How does that stop?". I did a super fast stop from full speed in about 5 feet and knocked thier socks off. I talked with them for about 20 minutes and gave two demos.
I am sitting on the front porch typing this and just noticed a SUV going the wrong way on my one-way street while the driver was talking on a cel phone. And people say Segways are dangerous. No, it is just stupid people that are dnagerous - no mater what the mode of transportation.

Stan, just think, he is allowed on the road and I might not be ... go figure!

Stan's the man! I'm really happy to see Seg owners doing demos and being excellent ambassadors...
Hundreds of positive impressions each.. hundreds of thousands of positive impressions collectively! Changing the world one glide at a time :)

Frank A. Tropea
