And on this week’s FEC we natter about
• Motorcycle Live – was it any good, what was the vibe, any hot takes?
• KTM – more financial woes, and they thought chocolate cams were bad...
• Why the Govt’s failure to have plans to encourage the use of motorcycles isn’t the bad news it might sound like...
• ...but we can’t still use all bus lanes
• plans to introduce a blanket 50mph speed limit on Scottish single-lane carriageways
• when is depreciation slight enough to make an upgrade worthwhile?
• some EV stuff Simon doesn’t understand
