Awrite hens and laddies, and welcome to a very special episode of Front End Chatter presented, ingested and recorded LIVE at the Highland Fling tour(s) in bonnie, sunny (no, really) Scotland! With not a lot to discuss in the world of motorcycling at the moment - other than the uncertain future of one of Europe's biggest bike manufacturers, plus a raft of new flagship models revealed by another of Europe's biggest bike manufacturers - our fabulous FECers have boldly stepped into our creative breach. Episode #212 is a Live FECsack extravaganza, with a wealth of wicked wonderings wittered by Highland Fling tourists spaken in the vague direction of Simon McHargreaves and Martin McFitz-Gibbons, including but not limited to… Does the rise of Chinese bikes mean certain doom for European brands? What effect will US tariffs have on motorcycling? Can KTM repair its reputation - and who would we pick to run it going forwards? What substance, material or concept should power motorcyclings's future? If you could only ride one road for the rest of your life, which would it be? And what would you ride it on? What's all the fuss about two-strokes? What would be the least-enjoyable bike to ride the Highland Fling on? Risk - what is it, why do we take it, and how much do we try to avoid it? What would be the best bike for Mufga and Si to ride two-up to Gdańsk? Thanks to everyone for the fabulous questions! Speaking of thanks, our recognition, acknowledgement and gratitudes are, as always, directed to Bennetts, Britain's best bike insurers, and BikeSocial.co.uk, home to all the very best motorcycling news and reviews. Plus our enormous, heartfelt appreciation to Paul at MCi Tours - mcitours.com - for all his graft in taking charge of the grown-up logistics that enabled the FEC Highland Fling tours to happen. Thank you, Papa Smurf, sorry you couldn't make it, and see you in September! Right, that's it, we're outta here, dinner's calling. Regular service resumes soon(ish) so please keep your emails coming in to anything@frontendchatter.com Guid cheerio the nou!
In this episode of the Profitable Christian Business Podcast, host Doug Greathouse sits down with his good friend and financial coach Andy Bennetts to discuss two of the most misunderstood and mission-critical topics in the Christian entrepreneur world: faith and finances. With humor, depth, and practical wisdom, Andy shares how Christians can break free from debt, avoid the hidden traps of the traditional banking system, and walk in true financial stewardship. From uncovering the meaning behind the word mortgage to introducing his "Financial GPS" system, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to honor God with their finances while building a lasting legacy. This isn't just about money—it's about obedience, sacrifice, and freedom.

Real leadership starts with connection—and the Bennetts are living proof. Ty Bennett and his son Tanner joined me on the Beliefcast and delivered a masterclass on influence, humility, and leading with heart. They shared vulnerable insights, challenged outdated leadership models, and showed what it truly means to serve others. Drew Bennett, who was originally scheduled to join us, couldn't make it—but his impact and leadership are still deeply felt and recognized. The strength of this family's message comes from the unity and authenticity they live every day. At the end of our conversation, Ty and Tanner left a message that hit home:

They emphasize that a strong marriage is essential for entrepreneurial success, advocating for nurturing both personal and professional realms.The Bennetts discuss challenges related to self-worth and offer practical advice for entrepreneurs, including appreciation, open communication, and intentional shared activities to strengthen relationships.

FEC208 Hello moi luverly FECers and this, believe it or not, is Front End Chatter episode 208 in a long-running series with him, believe it or not, Martin Fitz-Gibbons, and him, believe it or not, Simon Hargreaves.

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, Britain's physics-bendingiest motorcycling podcast, a vision formed when eccentric inventors Simon Hargreaves and Martin Fitz-Gibbons slipped off a toilet seat and banged their heads on a sink. This is episode #207 which, as always, is powered by the suitcase of stolen plutonium that is Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists, and BikeSocial.co.uk, the first place you should point your browser for used-bike buying guides, in-depth product reviews, new-bike technical analysis, the week's hotted two-wheels deals, plus so much more. And this week, in the absence of much going on in the biking world (other than Simon squeezing Christmas lunch into the panniers of a Triumph Tiger, and Mufga squeezing Christmas lunch into himself several times over), FEC takes a twenty-year trip back in time, back to January 2005, or more specifically the January 2005 issue of Bike magazine. A time when Britain was obsessed with sportsbikes, when Mufga was obsessed with dataloggers, and when Simon was obsessed by Troy Lee decals. How times have changed. Come between the covers with us (ahem) as Simon and Mufga spill the goss on how Britain's biggest-selling bike magazine was cobbled together 20 years ago, including: • Yamaha's MT-01 – what it was, why it was made, whether it was a flop, and why Si had to push one down a hill • KTM's 990 Super Duke – why it came with the rudest promo video ever, and whether it'd take KTM from unknowns to the biggest brand in Europe • Yamaha YZF-R6 – why a new set of forks and brakes made Si visit a burger van in the Peak District • Ducati Monster S2R – why it made Mufga bar-hop through Monte Carlo, and why a WSB legend flicked the Vs at Chippy Wood, Bike's own legend • Plus the creeping rise of nostalgia in motorcycling; one of the ugliest group tests ever put on paper; the questionably relevance of riding MotoGP bikes; and a plethora of predictions gone horribly wrong. We hope you enjoy our spectacularly self-indulgent trip down memory lane. If you do, let us know which era we should revisit next by emailing anything@frontendchatter.com – and if you don't, then instead email us with your thoughts, questions, observations, wonderings, ponderings about all things two-wheeled, modern or historical, for us to waffle about this year. Thank you for listening, and we hope to see you in Scotland on FEC Highland Fling (#1 & #2) in May, and/or the FECstival in October!

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, Britain's nerdiest motorcycling podcast with him Martin Fitz-Gibbons, and him, Simon Hargreaves, supported in our double century of biking chatter by Bennetts, the UK's best bike insurance bods of whom let it not be said by any man nor woman nor anyone in between that they take the money and thank you very much. Bennetts put more back into biking than any other insurance company by an absolute country mile, and that's a fact. For example, there's BikeSocial.co.uk, the website with the news, reviews and booze, and Bennetts' mighty YouTube channel with tons of cool consumer content, and bikeclub.bennetts.co.uk – a forum to ask your questions and find your answers. Right, welcome to Episode 200 – or not, as it turns out – of the podcast... and to be honest, it's a tough listen. For a start, we're both a bit under the weather, and then we completely geek-out over a three-cylinder Honda concept bike for like, about an hour, of informed speculation (him) and idle ignorance (me). And if it's going to make any sense at all you really need to be looking at the pics of the bike while we natter, and have watched the video of which we speak. Here, if you're interested (and I really don't blame you if you're not) are some links to where you can find this stuff: Video is here: https://youtu.be/nkv9CGYHdik?si=SIwQ7Fw2rCBguMUm Pics are here: https://global.honda/en/newsroom/news/2024/c241105ceng/image_download.html?from=newslink_media We encourage you to look at them as we speak – otherwise everything we say makes even less sense than it would otherwise. We also mention a few other things, like Suzuki's wonderful new (no, they really are) DR-Z4 and DR-Z4SM – a pair of deliciously simple green-lane and urban supermoto 400cc singles. Yes please. We also natter about KTM's ongoing financial woes, plus the revamped 1390 SDGT and 390 Adventure. And a few other new bikes, and more musings from the FECsack – please keep your missives, thoughts, queries and offers of help with the garden coming to: anything@frontendchatter.com Thank you for making it this far, and fingers crossed we won't be quite so ill and tedious on the next one. Aye! @SimonHbikes @Mufga

Hello friends and welcome to episode 196 of the long-running but desperately sporadic motorcycling podcast otherwise known as Front End Chatter, hosted by its own petards, Martin Fitz-Gibbons and Simon Hargreaves.

Thanks for listening, please come back for more and tell yer mates about FEC, and see you on the next one! X
If you're a parent, it's no secret the secular world is working overtime to drive a wedge in between you and members of your family. Chris and Julie Bennett have one of the most extraordinary stories of trying to listen and follow God's will for their lives while at the same time coming up against some of life's biggest challenges in their professional lives, in their health, and in their relationship with their kids. How do we as families hold it all together and keep "the main thing" the main thing? How do we battle loneliness, isolation and defeat from swallowing our kids? This was one of the Stigall's favorite conversations to date. It's fun, it's emotional, and it's thought provoking.

Chapter 1:Summary of Book Pride and prejudice"Pride and Prejudice," a novel by Jane Austen first published in 1813, is a romantic story set in the early 19th century in rural England. It centers on the Bennett family, particularly the second eldest daughter, Elizabeth. The main plot revolves around the complex relationship between Elizabeth and the wealthy, aloof Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.The story begins with the arrival of a wealthy and eligible bachelor, Mr. Charles Bingley, in the neighborhood, exciting the local families, including the Bennetts, who have five unmarried daughters. Mr. Bingley soon takes a liking to the eldest Bennett daughter, Jane. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy initially appears proud and dismissive, particularly towards Elizabeth, whose lively spirit and sharp wit contrast with his more reserved nature.Central to the novel is the theme of misjudgments and the difficulties of understanding someone's true character. Both Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy make poor judgments about each other and those around them. Elizabeth's prejudice against Darcy stems from her initial perceptions and is fueled by misleading information, while Darcy's pride in his social status leads him initially to scorn the environment of the Bennett family.As the story unfolds, various family and social dramas emerge, including scandalous elopements, failed proposals, and misinterpreted intentions. Both Elizabeth and Darcy undergo personal growth. Elizabeth recognizes her predisposition to hastily judge others, while Darcy becomes more self-aware and learns humility, ultimately shedding his veneer of pride.Their mutual evolution paves the way for romance between Elizabeth and Darcy, challenging societal norms and personal pride. Throughout the novel, Jane Austen explores themes of love, reputation, and class, and provides social commentary on the status of women and the dependence on marriage for social standing."Pride and Prejudice" ends with various resolutions of family and romantic entanglements, including the marriages of Elizabeth to Mr. Darcy and Jane to Mr. Bingley, suggesting themes of reconciliation and social harmony.Chapter 2:The Theme of Book Pride and prejudice"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen is a novel rich in themes, character development, and essential plot points. Set in rural England in the early 19th century, the story explores the nature of love, marriage, society, and morality through the lens of the Bennet family, particularly through the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet. Key Plot Points1. Introduction of the Bennet Family: The novel introduces Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five unmarried daughters. The arrival of a wealthy bachelor, Mr. Bingley, sets the story in motion.2. Ball at Meryton: Here, Elizabeth Bennet first encounters Mr. Darcy, who snubs her, beginning their tense interactions.3. Jane's Illness and Stay at Netherfield: Jane Bennet falls ill while visiting Mr. Bingley's sister at Netherfield Park, leading Elizabeth to care for her. During this stay, Elizabeth observes the behavior of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, developing her impressions.4. Mr. Collins' Proposal: The ludicrous Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth, who refuses him. This act demonstrates her desire for a marriage based on love rather than convenience or economic security.5. Elizabeth's Visit to Hunsford: During this visit to Charlotte Lucas, now Mrs. Collins, Elizabeth encounters Darcy again. Darcy proposes, showing evident class consciousness and pride, which Elizabeth rebukes.6. Revelations About Darcy: Elizabeth receives a letter from Darcy explaining his actions concerning Jane and Bingley, and the truth about Mr. Wickham, a charming officer who deceived Elizabeth.7. Lydia's Elopement with Wickham: This crisis reveals the imprudence of Lydia and the risks associated with reckless behavior. Darcy...
How can you create a sense of adventure and belonging in your family, even when life gets messy? What are the essential values that help cultivate a healthy and connected family? In this episode I interview Julie and Chris Bennett, authors of Fighting for Family, The Relentless Pursuit of Building Belonging. The Bennetts share their journey of moving from Oklahoma to Los Angeles and how this adventurous leap, combined with facing personal challenges like Julie's battle with cancer, has shaped their family dynamics. Julie and Chris Bennett are the founders of Welcome Home Lifestyle which exists to create and promote content that celebrates all things family. Both Julie and Chris are graduates of Baylor University and have spent the majority of their 23 years of marriage working in vocational ministry. Through overwhelming challenges, they have learned how to fight for the things that matter and devote themselves to helping others do the same. Alongside their passion for building belonging for others, they love nothing more than beach football, spontaneous road trips, and throwing a good party. The Bennetts live in Malibu, CA where Chris serves as lead pastor of Vintage Church Malibu. They emphasize the importance of intentionality in building family connections, advocating for open and honest conversations, and believing the best about each other, even during tough times. The Bennetts discuss their six core values for cultivating family, which include seeking to understand before being understood and working through hard things instead of walking away. They also highlight the significance of humility, vulnerability, and the willingness to learn from each other, noting that a healthy family is about being real and embracing the messiness of life together.

Mark Curphey and Simon Bennetts, join Chris on the podcast to discuss the challenges of funding and sustaining major open source security projects like ZAP. Curphey shares about going fully independent and building a non-profit sustainable model for ZAP. The key is getting companies in the industry, especially companies commercializing ZAP, to properly fund its ongoing development and maintenance.Bennetts, who has led ZAP for over 15 years, shares the harsh reality that while ZAP is likely the world's most popular web scanner with millions of active users per month, very few companies contribute back financially despite making millions by building products and services on top of ZAP. Curphey and Bennetts are asking those in the industry to step up and properly fund open source projects like ZAP that are critical infrastructure, rather than freeloading off the hard work of a few individuals. Curphey's company is investing substantial funds in a "responsible marketing" model to sustain ZAP as a non-profit, with hopes others will follow this ethical example to prevent open source security going down a dangerous path.FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA: ➜Twitter: @AppSecPodcast➜LinkedIn: The Application Security Podcast➜YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ApplicationSecurityPodcast Thanks for Listening! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Greetings, podcast pilgrims, and welcome to Front End Chatter - just like having a fun chat down the pub with your mates about bikes, only without the drinks, or the ability for you to say anything back, or your actual real-life mates being involved. Or the fun, come to think of it. Alright, so it's nothing like having a fun chat down the pub with your mates, and much more like earwigging in on a pair of motorcycling mid-life crises unfolding in real time, mixed in with the odd history lesson pinched shamelessly from Wikipedia, half a badly photocopied GCSE maths exam paper, and a few swear words. Still, after 190-odd of these things it's somehow gathered enough momentum that neither of us knows where the handbrake is. And so in episode #191 of this moss-dodging rolling stone, Simon and Mufga cover: • KTM's return to building sportsbikes, in the thinly camouflaged guise of the new 990 RC R, heading to a Supersport race series near you • MotoGP's plans to drop two dress sizes by summer, slim down those aero love handles and give their saggy rear ends a long-overdue lift • Yamaha's XSR900GP, which proves it can delight everyone from Rose-Tinted Racers to Portuguese school kids • Husqvarna's Svartpilen 801, which also stirs together dollops of the past, present and future like a timeline trifle • BMW's new Automated Shift Assistant tech and, perhaps more intriguingly, which as-yet-unannounced (but possibly already-photographed) bike it'll debut on • Whether one bike exists that could possibly replace a listener's pretty awesome-sounding three-bike garage • What motorcycling experiences you'd want to experience if your body had just a few years of riding left in it • Why tyres dare to demonstrate so alarmingly little respect for mathematical consistency • Whether hip replacements and motorcycles go together like a femoral head and an acetabulum If you get through all that and are thirsty for more, don't forget to like and rate and subscribe and leave a comment and tag a friend and all the rest, but most importantly do remember the great and benevolent Bennetts the next time your motorcycle insurance is due. Go on, they're Britain's best bike insurers, and if you get your insurance direct from them you'll also get free BikeSocial membership, which is statistically possible to make your motorcycling year both better and cheaper by virtue of its capacious catalogue of discounts, deals, experiences, offers, opportunities and more! As always, if you're on the X-stagram socials you can find us lurking at @SimonHbikes and @Mufga And if you're reading this in May 2024, it's not quite too late to join us on our incredible Viva FECspana tour - head to bit.ly/fecspain Peace, love and understanding x
What if instead of fighting our family, we fought FOR our family? This is the charge Chris and Julie Bennett are putting in front of us. That sounds like something we want to do, but how do we practically implement it? The Bennetts give us practical ways to implement grace, forgiveness, and hope into our relationships with our children, our spouse, and those we bring into our family fold. Family is about belonging - so our aim is to create a place of honesty, safety, and grace. Chris and Julie speak from a lifetime of fighting for their family together. If you are needing both some inspiration and practical help today, this conversation is for you. The world hands us a lot to deal with, especially in midlife. We don't have to fight with those we love, as much as we have to fight for a family culture that demonstrates wild love.

Hello everyone, two, three here we go and welcome to Front End Chatter episode 190 in series one of Britain's best (or at least longest-running) podcast-flavoured semi-occasional long-form motorcycling nattertainment, no thanks to him, Simon Hargreaves, and even less to him, Martin Fitz-Gibbons. FEC has been FECing for a whole FECing decade now, mostly thanks to two things: not knowing when to quit; and the tireless support and encouragement and assistance of Bennetts, easily Britain's best bike insurers. You need some of that motorcycle insurance they have these days? Actually, that's not really a question. You need some of that motorcycle insurance they have these days! And you should head directly to Bennetts.co.uk to get it, or at least get a quote for it. Not only are they wonderful people who put back in the bike industry (like, cough, this load of free ear-muck), but if you buy your policy direct you'll get a year's free BikeSocial membership, which unlocks all manner of exclusive discounts, competitions, offers and experiences like some kind of cheat code for your wallet. And in this episode, we have: - Honda's new E-Clutch, ridden and rated - have Honda finally figured out a way to overthrow the manual transmission after nearly 70 years of trying? - Triumph Tiger 1200 - only two years old and already updated, well a bit, but also a hell of a lot. - BMW R1300GS - what's it like compared to the R1250GS, and what will BMW do with the Adventure? And a hearty shuffle through the bulging FECsack, including * Street Triple - standard or R? * Guess the shaft-drive, garage-wood inducing tourer * How long do helmets really last, really? * The Biking Ladder - is it a load of tosh? * Fun bikes for occasionally taking a pillion (who may or may not be fun) * Best tyres for a Tenere * Credit where Viva FECspana credit is (over)due Please keep topping our FECsack up by emailing your thoughts, wonderings, ponderings and observances to anything@frontendchatter.com And it's not too late to join us on a 10-day biking tour of a lifetime! Viva FECspana takes in amazing best roads in France and Spain, fab company and lush hotels. Don't miss out on the highlight of your summer - bit.ly/fecspain And, as ever, find us on the socials: @SimonHbikes and @Mufga
