Welcome
Hello and welcome indeed to Front End Chatter, Episode 219, in which Martin and Simon use their vast misunderstanding of motorcycles as a basis for interminable waffling on a podcast. As ever, they are supported in their efforts by Bennetts, Britain's best bike insurers, and bikesocial.co.uk, all your motorcycling info needs on the web.
And on this pod, Simon and Martin natter about:
the forthcoming FEC Tour 2026 – The Moors The Merrier – on July 17-20th in the N Yorks Moors
smashing phones on bikes
Triumph's Tiger Sport 800
why bikes aren't as fast as they used to be, and why no-one cares
Honda's CB1000GT
Honda's VR3
Honda's NW7
BMW's F450GS
Norton's Atlases
CFMoto's KTM 990 Adventure
...and much much much more.
Thank you for listening, please spread the word amongst your peers, and please sign up to the FEC Tour by emailing anything@frontendchatter.com and registering your interest. Onwards!
