Uno, or Not to Uno?
One of the wisest things I’ve done to extend my walking-around time on the planet was to let my motorcycle license lapse. As such, I won’t be buying a one-wheeled motorcycle.
One-wheeled motorcycle? It seems nuts, but, after watching the video, I think I would feel safer riding around on one wheel than I would feel traveling about on one of these.

As long as there are so many women drivers ,I would not drive a one wheeler .I am not saying all women drivers are bad ,but many especially recent arrivals from places such as Korea and India should be confined to a Big Wheel and the playground not a highway .It is hard to see how they pass the driving test .

A few thoughts:
1- That guy looks exactly like what I thought you looked like before I ever saw a photo of you. In my mind I imagined you resembling Mark Harmon… who that guy kind of resembles.
2- When I first saw that this thing originated in Portlandia, I rolled my eyes and thought: “Figures. They’re all friggin’ weirdos there.” I have to say, though… the guy seems quite sane and I respect his ingenuity, to the extent that, should such a vehicle ever hit the market at a price I could very well afford, I’d definitely get one.
3- You really should go to Portland sometime. What a fabulous city, with so many incredible restaurants. And I saw a Bojack.org bumper sticker on the back of a car while I was there! But you already know that…

Jimbo…
One Wheeled motorcycle…..No, do not think so but a two wheel trials or trail bike to use in the Allegheny Mountains trails where allowed …Hell Yes!
I no longer own a motorcycle but keep my Motorcycle license current cause you never know when a bargain will appear.
My best friend & I both had Yamaha 250 enduros which we kept street legal so we could travel on any Mountain dirt road open to motor vehicle travel. We each paid $735.00 brand new for them back in 1975.
I have a great nostalgia for that bike & had many years of fun & enjoyment traveling in the wilderness but sold it when my son & heir became a teenager.
He is grown up & married so I keep my options open.
