PB in OR thanks you yet again...your participation in making our bikes smoother is greatly appreciated.

Does this mean the final build batch has shipped, or is it just confirming the parties with outstanding orders?

thanks

Hey there Jason. That's the list of standing orders. I put it up there in response to the posts, email, and PM requests I receive with "Where am I on the list?" questions. When the batches of 30 ship I'll do the same as before, and post up the batch list. There were a couple of back-ordered parts, and the first batch should be leaving next week. If my 'free' time remains as available as it has been, the whole list should be shipped by early February.

Woohoo!!! #25!!


Can't wait to get this thing and ry it out as I've been anxiously reading the posts for the last couple months.

[fellowsja]

Poolside, Fair enough...thanks for the update.

Happy assembly, and THANKS for the work.

Alright I'm #32'. From the bottom that is Way cool thanks for posting the list.

[Raven Rider]

Alright 58 from the top maybe the second batch. I can see it from here!

[Poolside]

The list is now divided into 30 piece batches.
Each batch may not equal 30 names because of multiple orders.

[Wandering Nomad]

I'm at #8 on the list.
I'm looking forward to burning more fuel.

Dang recalculation I'm on the 3rd group now!

I don't do that kind of math any more so I've forgotten how, but can some one tell me with 26 letters for the first letter and 26 letters for the second letter and 50 different states how many combinations that would be and how many iterations it would take before a repeat was likely?

[johnjen]

wouldn't that be 26 x 26 x 50? = 33,800
or would it be 26 to the 26th power x 50 or 3.078 x 10 *38

I'm sure a math wizard will be along shortly.

If we each had 26 names, and their respective initials that could repeat, then yes. Dang that's a big number.

Your first answer is right. The possible combinations of 2 repeating letters and 50 states is like you said 26^2 x 50.

As far as likely to repeat goes, the likelihood of a repeat of any subsequent initials and state depends on the quantity that has gone before. You know, in the extreme form, say all 33,800 combinations initials and states had played out without a repeat. The next combination would be a repeat since all combinations had come before.
