Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, and it's episode 209 of the 209 episode-long motorcycling podcast presented, and I use the word in its loosest sense, by Martina Fitz-Gibbons and Simone Hargreaves, a pair of transitioning motorcycle journalists whose personal pronouns are 'it'. Fronty End Prongs is supported and comported by Bennetts, Britain's biggest and best bike insurers, and without whom you would all be pretty bloody sorry, I can tell you, so make the most of their offers and support their support of motorcycling ya ingrates. And also BikeSocial.co.uk, the hub of motorcycling's metaphorical Akront rim, with their Youtube channel and website and lots of bike-related content to tuck into.
So on this episode of FEC we chatter about:
• the latest news from the ailing KTM factory
• bad news from the Nürburgring
• last-minute booking news if you're thinking about coming to ride with us in Scotland in May on the FEC Highland Fling 2 tour
• a ride on Ducati's Multistrada V2 S and exactly how Ducati is it?
• Honda's new NT1100 and what have they done to it?
• Honda's new Hornet and wow, how good is it?
• Honda's last-ever CB1300 and can I have one please?
• why a 270° parallel twin is rarely an exciting engine
• how to describe engine configurations
• and many more musing and amusings from the FEC Sack of your thoughts, queries, ruminations on a theme
Thank you for listening and supporting us with your ears, and please email your own thoughts and musings to:
