History channel

[citivolus]

I just caught the end of a show titled "Motorcycles" on the History Channel. It covered the evolution of the motorcycles from the beginning to now. I know, you're thinking so what? It had a Segway spot right at the end with Dean showing how it has none of the conventional controls. It was only there because it has two wheels and a motor. It seemed a fair and positive segment but I grew concerned when one guy implied there would be hot rodding, races and so forth. My concern is that while we recognize this to be unlikely, it may be disturbing to someone who is not as familiar with the Segway. Although the overall tone seemed to show that hot rodding and racing was a normal part of the evolutionary cycle of all vehicles.
