Front End Chatter - Episode 91

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter E91, the nearly-but-not-quite episode, supported, enabled and triggered by www.bikesocial.co.uk – or is it just bikesocial.co.uk? – and Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists.
And what a bounteous springtime episode we have, containing gossip such as:

COTA – or is it GOTA? – with Marquez beating himself while Rins wins on a Suzuki and Rossi is runner-up again again again (he’s going for another record: Pedrosa’s “Most Perennial Runner-Up” Award)
A half-naked Lorenzo adds to his list of embarrassing advert
World Superbike’s Dave Bautista demonstrates it’s easier to adapt from a V4 MotoGP bike to a V4 WSB bike than from a V-twin WSB bike to a V4 WSB bike...
Brief chats about Husqvarana’s Svartpilen 701 – a KTM 690 Duke in a frock or chainsaw on wheels? – Yamaha’s Tracer/Ténéré 700 GT and BMW’s new R1250R...
Custom-moulded ear-plugs v foam plugs?
How Fairy Liquid solves visor misting
How to approach your first road race
Why aren’t more bike journalists nicked riding like idiots on foreign launches?
Why riding more makes you enjoy riding more
Is Yamaha’s Niken the perfect camera bike for filming cycle racing?
Why seat height isn’t actually a good measure of the height of the seat...

...and so much less. I mean more. More. Much more.
