Kilted on a Segway??
I live in a small rural town so it was a surprise to see a guy on a Segway rolling down the street today. Of course he was wearing pants.
Got me to wondering if anyone has gone for a ride on a Segway kilted?
Seems like it'd be just the right speed to have the kilt pleats dance beautifully.

Last year, at the Long's Peak Scottish games in Colorado, there was a cop, probably on security detail. Uniform shirt, Sam Browne belt with all the cop goodies, a tank (don't know the tartan) and getting about on a Segway with large offroad tires. 'Twas extremely cool.

Angus, I think that was the Estes Park tartan. It's a nice one. You going to be up there again this year? I'll be spending most of the time around the piping competition area wearing my X Marks shirt and either the Livingston tartan or Black Watch.

You think with all the money we spend on kilts we have extra to throw around on other "toys"???
I've been looking at getting a segway for a LONG time. Would be perfect if I acutally lived in the city and not the burbs. Maybe when the wife and I return to Portland (trying desperatly to) it would be a good option. Kilted of course!

I rode one at Disneyland while kilted. They used to have some you could ride on display at Tomorrowland. Personally, I'd rather walk. The segway is just an expensive toy, with little practical application.

I've got to disagree. On a recent vacation in Washington D.C., I dragged my family around to every attraction we had the time to see. Our feet were killing us and we were dog tired. I saw people on Segways and envied them.

I actually believe there is a TOUR DC on segways (http://www.citysegwaytours.com/washington/). I know, now I tell ya. But I see them everywhere in DC. Almost daily. I've even seen one in the Tysons area in VA.

Sounds like fun. I've added Segways to my list of things to try while kilted.
