    Vado SL 5.0 versus Vado SL 2 6.0 Carbon - thoughts on upgrading

    They'll have no trouble selling 200. I like the looks of the bike for sure.

    Vado SL 5.0 versus Vado SL 2 6.0 Carbon - thoughts on upgrading

    They are only making 220 of the $10k bikes. I weighed my SL5.0 non EQ size large when I got it and recall it weighing the same as my old non electric mountain bike, 33lbs and a hair more using a bathroom scale and using simple subtraction.

    $10,000 for that bike, not that much lighter than my SL1, has no draw on me unsurpisingly.

    Wall of text posts on the subject of micro analyzation of ride info. I'm wondering if I'm in the minority in not bothering.

    The app to change power levels in each mode etc. Maybe use that once a year.

    Some folks love to modify their cars, motorcycles etc. Other than suspension, and I have spent four gran on a suspension for my road Mazda Miata I bought in 1994, and my motorcycle has Race Tech cartridge emulators on the front forks but that is pretty much it. I don't see any mods needed to...

    Perfectly happy with the stock tires for my particular needs. No punctures yet though my dearly departed friend did get a puncture in his while paved trail riding.

    No need; super low ABV is actually a smart way to go for those that like it.

    Yes, Stone Brewing makes great beer. They had a nice pub in Napa that went bust before Covid.

    I guess I'm odd in that I like pretty much all beer styles other than sours or anything with fruit flavors in it. Not too fond of high AVV either. 6.5 percent is plenty.

    I live withing walking distance of Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa, home of the once a year Pliny the Younger, where global visitors line up for hours to sample it. Don't bother. Not worth the wait.
