Monowheel!

That just might be the most beautiful vehicle I have ever seen. Found on this page. I really must build myself one someday.

Pretty, but it looks thoroughly unsafe and unfun. Don't let randomdreams see this.

[gfish.livejournal.com]

Unsafe, certainly. Unfun... have we met?

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Fun to build, yes. Fun to ride, I'm not so sure.

As if he hasn't.

I've been spending the last two hours fantasizing about making ten with pointy bits on the wheel sidewalls and racing them on a frozen lake.

How odd

I saw a modern version on tv just this weekend. It uses a chainsaw motor and is from Brazil, I believe. Now I have to try to find it.

Neato.

Now you have me thinking about the bastard child of a monowheel, a gyroplane and a paddleboat...

[peteralway.livejournal.com]

Ooh, a giant hamster ball with a tire around the equator, and paddle blade thingies on either side that submerge when you get to water, but are protected by the tire on land. Unfurl the parawing when you go off a cliff.

It all makes sense now!

I've got James Bond chase scene music stuck in my head now.

"Portrait of General Grevious as as Young Man."

Very well executed reference! I had the idea but not the phrasing.

[kethet.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

LOL

Thanks, I needed that.

Sometimes by brain is witty. That is exactly what it said immediately upon seeing that.

It's safer, the faster you go!

[randomdreams.livejournal.com]

I've had dates like that?

[tfabris.livejournal.com]

Google images fails me. I can't find a picture of Mr. Garrison in South Park driving the contraption that looked identical to that.

Well, almost identical. That one doesn't have the orally-activated throttle.

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

I... don't wanna know.

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

I can't believe loree hasn't jumped on this yet...

*That's* the problem! All those monorail voters thought they were voting for *this*!

[grinninfoole.livejournal.com]

Didn't they have something like it on South Park?

[olafthunderfoot.livejournal.com]
