I saw an awesome one once that was a front motorcycle wheel with a
go-kart engine inside the wheel. It had handlebars and a seat and
counter weights near the bottom to keep you somewhat upright.

I'll try to find a picture of it...

Those are, by far, the most homosexual peices of metal and plastic I
have ever seen. Please keep enforcing the negative images of gays in
society.

I actually think they're pretty neat.

I heard a really gay guy call a school assignment gay today...I would've
thought he be against using such derogatory language, but apparently
not.

I've got some monocycle links in my 'unicycle bookmarks'
(http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/unicycle_bookmark.htm). You might be
able to find a picture of the monocycle in those links.

I used to work with a gay guy.. he called stuff gay all the time... he
used to joking call me a '[censored]' because I have long hair.

The reason that you shouldn't use "gay" as a perjorative has nothing to
do with political correctness. You shouldn't use "gay" as a perjorative
because it makes you look like an idiot. There are thousands of better
words could use that would better get your point across.

Hmm...
None of those links has it. Weird.

I haven't looked at motorized unis in a while, and it looks like there
are now a zillion times as many pages as there were when I found the one
I'm talking about. I'll keep looking.

It's strange how so many people are trying to design these wheels that
encompass the rider. You can't see that way! The one I saw before
looked like an awesome design that had the exact same wheel as a
motorcycle and used some chopper-mini-bike-kinda designed frame. dang,
I gotta find it and build one to show all these pseudo-moto-unicycles
how it's done.

yeah, the point about riding inside the wheel (it's called a monowheel
ususally in this configuration) is that you don't have to balance the
saddle on top of the wheel. the R.I.O.T wheel is different in that it
has computer controlled counter weights which adjust their position
depending on the acceleration. On the whole 'gay' subject, i just see it
as inaccurate, that's not atall what you mean, you're just too
inarticulate to use a correct word to describe your dislike, get some
eductation.

There's a video on one of those ...

T.V. amasing video shows....

That has the original designer crashing one while testing ....

Wiping out in one of those looked to be a worse experience than on a
motorcycle....

(IMO)

The braking mechanism threw the cycle off balance.

Great contraption. Looks British, doesn't it? Like half a BSA Rocket or
something. You should send the picture to Aardman Animation so they can
include a motorised uni in the next Wallace & Gromit movie.
