We have a new radio station where the broadcasters can be seen live in the front window. This is on Main St. and it gets lots of attention. Our tour goes by every day and they always mention live that we are passing by. They asked if I could come over yesterday at 5:45 for a live broadcast. I agreed. I got there late and rode the HT right in the front door and into the broadcast studio. They immediately motioned me in front af a large microphone . Instantly I was standing there on my Segway talking live about our tours and the fun everyone has.

People started gathering in front of the window on Main and watched this going on. It was cool being interviewed while standing on the HT. After a while I let the main Interviewer (there were 3 live) take a demo in the studio while we were live! He had a blast and sure let everyone listeneing know how easy, safe and fun the Segway is.

They interviewed me for 15 minutes and then I had to glide off into the sunset. It was great fun....

How wonderful, do you know anyone that recorded it, or can you get a copy from the radio station, I think we'd all love to hear it on SegwayChat.

There is a live radiostation at the Circle here in Indianapolis... I have passed by them dozens of times... Maybe next time I'll stop right in front of their window to get their attention.

Tom, I can't tell you how impressed I am with everything I'm seeing and reading. Thanks for all that you're doing ... it positively impacts all of us.

From a "radio guy" in Chicago ... good job.
