    I saw one of those here in Reno. I think there is a shop in town here that sells them. I think they are kinda wierd lookin. I'm not sure I actually like them yet or not. However, I am fond of the idea of something that gets gas mileage like a motorcycle, but is maybe a little more enclosed, and thus, safer. I think someone needs to make a working Light Cycle.



    EDIT: Well well, it looks like this company is actually trying:

    Well, iirc, the light cycles were head first, which made them even cooler, but I would imagine that might get somewhat uncomfortable for us "users".

    This thread just got really funny. Come on, Jo, you mean to tell me you have never seen Tron???

    And by the way, you have a VX, so you are automatically into sci-fi, as far as I'm concerned.
