FIVE YEARS i2 Gliding

MuttonChops · 12-05-2015, 06:26 PM

Friday 4th was my fifth anniversary as a Segway i2 owner!!!

Saturday December 4, 2010 picked up a brand new machine at (now closed) Seattle of Segway and glided in turtle mode to the local library, 5 miles.

Friday December 4, 2015 TerryP and I glided to a local brew pub to celebrate the anniversary. Must say, their Blond Ale was wonderful. Returning home the SEG has 9,112 Miles !

It has been five fun years that include at least weekly visits to SegwayChat and many SEG adventures.

2,300 miles work commuting (first 1.5 years of ownership)
Two very painful, should I see a Doctor, spills.
One bloody but surprising not so painful spill.
Several, Several quick dismounts. Always embarrassing if someone is watching.
Two flat tires.
Third set of factory tires now mounted.
And let's not forget the SEG doing 60 MPH when the car carrier broke on I-90.

With all the above the i2 machine just keeps on running and bringing more smiles.

Best adventures:

First time gliding on to a Washington State Ferry,
the look on the deckhands faces was priceless.
Having a locomotive Engineer wave at me!
After all those years as a kid waving at them.

Stopped for lunch . . . .
