David, I agree after seeing a few videos on YouTube of MonoWheels crashing. I guess
ur good until you get a high speed wobble and once they get out of balance ur pretty much
screwed (at least with a V8). They sure look cool....but after seeing how easy they are to get in trouble with 
I understand why the two wheel motorcycle is a better design. I thought they would be pretty stable 
because of centrifugal mass spinning like a bicycle wheel, but I was wrong.

Used to be a guy run these on the salt (Bonneville).
One "lawn-mower" powered, one "snowmobile" powered, one BOP 215 alum v8 powered.
