Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, the motorcycling podcast, and none other than Episode 221 – they said we couldn't do it, but we've naysayed the naysayers. His name is Martin Fitz-Gibbons, editor of Bike magazine, and my name isn't but that's not important right now – what's important is we thank Bennetts, Britain's best motorcycle insurers who put more back into biking than insurance companies who put less back into biking, and some of whom put nothing back but merely take take take. Good people one and all. And also uber-thanks to the bikesocial.co.uk, the world of wokecycling on the web and on the YouTubes, with loads of news, views, new bike launches and road tests – all the good stuff.
Right, on with the show – and today Martin and Simon, for it is he, opine about, in no particular order...
• Suzuki's marvellous DRZ-Z4S and how old can be better than new
• the loss of Phillip Island as a MotoGP circuit
• Honda Hornet 1000 recall for excessive oil consumption
• UK bikes sales stats for YTD up to Feb
• fab epic bike doc by FortNine called Yalla Habibi
• plus a selection of your fine emails from the FECSack.
As ever, please keep your questions and queries coming to anything@frontendchatter.com
And thank you very much for listening!
