Wink Great Fun

Got my new 180 about a month ago, what a wonderfull machine.
I have 2 Arthritic ankles, so walking for more then a block was out of the question.
We went to the fly-in at Lakeland in Florida. Showed them my handycap sticker and they let me in with no problem.
They told my husband that they had some questions from some of the rent a cops, but they were told let her in. WELL HERE WENT GRANDMA,GLIDING FOR 4 HOURS.I could go everywere, but of course I were my helmet,and act responsible.
Got many high fives from others on regular scooters.

Great to hear.

You can thank the folks at www.DRAFT.cc for that.
As of 2 weeks ago Segways were a "no go" at the fly in, disabilities or not.

Regards,
Alan

No need to thank me, It's Leonard, Jerry etal.

Great people who have changed my outlook. I am now a little bit of an "activist".

Here's how it went down:
