That would be fantastic. Loved Seattle on my one brief visit there.
My friend in Tampa (who is the manager of the RV storage place that I've been basing out of with my motorhome for years) has one and loves it. He's in his early 60s and not as terribly out of shape as many people past 50 are, but has had serious issues with his legs as a result of a work accident a couple of years ago. So he uses the assist on hills and just when he's not feeling as motivated. Rides 4 miles per day and gets a little moist (where's Steve?) but not dripping in sweat. Feels good about just getting out there and doing something for himself and not having to get off his bike to make it up hills.
Reading the reviews, seems like a bike that a lot of people in their 50s-70s are enjoying after they are effectively past the age/shape when they would realistically go out and ride a normal bike on a regular basis.
An Oyster Perpetual 39mm is not only my favourite looking Rolex, but is one of my favourite looking watches, and straight after getting that Saxonia thin I was strongly considering getting one, but doing so would’ve put me further into debt, which is why I decided to get a Grand Seiko quartz.
However once that debt is paid off and I’m financially able to do so, I’m using that GSQ as part exchange for a ROP.
1) go and find complementary parts that work at 900v that are not obsolete
2) the load is more than you think. up to 20ma at 20khz
3) protect the diaphram
4) takes minutes to charge, quality of resistor is meaningless
5) 717 and 727 definitely have emitter follower output stages with current sinks.
Waiting for Magnetic Fields. Claire picked this show somewhat randomly and it turns out it is the second 25 songs for each year of the lead singer's life (1990 to 2015). Should be fun.
