    My Rivian R1S quad motor has 835 HP. The new gen R1T quad motors have over 1000HP. 

    Crazy to think that 7000+ pound trucks/SUVs are out there that have more HP than that Mustang. To be fair, the EVs have a lower top speed, but the acceleration/torque on them is headsnappping. 

    this is like cooking a steak on a grill vs in the microwave

    Ninja 650

    Anything Honda or Kawasaki is going to be great with reliability and pretty easy on the service intervals. My Eliminator and the Ninja 500 share the 451 engine.  That Aprilla is not going to be reliable. 650 a tad big for a fist bike IMO.  I'd go with one of the first two.  The Zx4r is a lot of bike for a fist time rider as well.

    Anyone here have a guy/gal?  I have a couple of years to figure this out but I will have a large financial decision to make upon an event that is coming up, and it is likely that this is one of the options to pursue until I am actually retirement aged.  Just past 50 now, so the 55 early retirement age and the 59.5 age don’t apply yet.  
     

    My main concern is a) don’t fuck up tax treatment, b) actually diversify.  I am incredibly concentrated right now, like 90 percent plus of my net worth in one investment that has been fantastic but is a pre tax retirement vehicle.

    I am a CFP.  Whats the actual question?  You can DM me if you want to put more color there

  4. Speaking of San Antonio and meats etc.  Tri county meat market is pretty awesome.  They get their steaks from Bolners.   Not cheap but damn good quality.  Their freezers have all kinds of great stuff from purveyors all over South Texas.

    GE expired in May. Have been waiting for renewal since April. Coming through SFO on way back from Auckland on Thursday, officer just shrugged and said it might be a year or more.

    Odd considering with the backlog that tons of us have been getting insta-approval.  both myself and both my kids were instant in the last two years

    Just a thought....but would any of you SA Surly members be interested in a watch party at Little Woodrows at 1604/Braun for one of our games? I feel like this location is decently located since it seems like most of yall live far west side or northwest/helotes area.
