Im glad to see some i2 chit chat around here. kudos to you Steve807, i feel the same. I saw your post awhile back about your enjoyment at the Segway Tour of Solvang. Im not far from there in San Luis Obispo, CA. I have an i2, and (2) x2's and just love 'em.
Sadly, it looks like the Solvang shop closed up a couple months ago. I heard the owner moved, but he's certainly not the only closure, and sadly it really does just feel like a dying breed. I dont really know why. I always get double takes, and plenty of questions of interest whenever I glide. I know it never caught on to begin with, but 12 years later, I could imagine once your batteries go, not to many would be willing to shell out another $2000 to get Blinky back
