First time here but hoping for some insight. I was raised on MG hell learned to drive in a midget.

My dad has two B GTs early 70s. One is a rolling chassis. It’s complete minus drivetrain . The other is complete but engine is toast. Eats oil like it’s going out of style. They’ve been sitting in storage for 15 years at least so there’s that. Tons of spare parts plus an engine head that is compatible with unleaded fuel. Don’t even know where to start to list these. Online forums or just reach out to a local classic British car dealer (there is one not too far from him) thank you

Was riding early this morning , s1000rr went past and we pulled up to a red light. Light went green and I did a mildly aggressive start and kept it at about 3/4th throttle . That bike flew past me like I was driving a yugo. It was insane. The xsr is no slouch and I know that liter bikes are crazy fast but just seeing it gave me a whole new respect for those insane bikes and those who ride them

Recently purchased a bell lithium and just wanted to share my experience with it. Overall it’s an excellent bang for the buck. My other main lid is Shoei rf1400 and i foresee using the bell lithium just as much as the Shoei. The bell has integrated sun visor which is great. What it lacks vs the rf1400: less ventilation but still tolerable , and not snell approved (though it is dot and ece) if you are looking for the best helmet in the $250 range I highly recommend the lithium

I know this has been discussed to the earths end but wanted to share and get input . My 2024 has the most current tps settings from Yamaha (dealer updated the values per a TSB by Yamaha last year) still choppy at low temp but once warms up to about 170 or so it’s smooth as anything . Tech said (authorized Yama dealer) said so long as values are to spec not a whole lot they can do and it’s just an issue known with the cp3. Totally get that and I wouldn’t ask them to adjust the sensors outside of Yamahas recommended setting. So I’m just gonna have to live with it for now and wait until I’m up to temp for smooth throttle . Unless anyone has other input here?
