This week's episode is dedicated to Motorcycle Live, the UK's biggest and most interactive motorcycle and scooter show. The nine-day event welcomed over 90,000 people to the NEC in Birmingham, and this year, a wide range of electric motorcycles were on display, so I went along to see them and to speak to all the different companies that were promoting electrification.

Welcome to the Average bikers in a cave show. Just a couple of average bikers talking about all things bike related. In the episode we are Average Bikers on the Road, not in the cave. We are on our way to Motorcycle Live, and back again and we recorded through our trip.

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, Britain's best biking podcast even if we – 'we' being Martin Fitz-Gibbons and Simon Hargreaves, a pair of motorcycling ne'er-do-wells who once had an opinion and now just have onions – do say so ourselves, which is just as well because no-one else does.  Front End Chatter is as ever supported like a great surgical truss of benevolence by Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists, and their media empire of bikesocial.co.uk, upon which one can find all the news, reviews, new bike and consumer tests one could wish for. And check out their YouTube channel too.  On this esipode of Fnet Rund Chasser we have, for your aural delectation:  • a bit of goss from that Motorcycle Live they had recently • a thoroughly in-depth chat about Honda's new CB750 Hornet • why World Superbike will be worth watching in 2023 • the return of KTM's 790 Duke and Adventure, only made in China and as we predicted ages ago • details of the FEC Tour 2023 – It's Grin Up North!  • plus a stack of your emails from the FECsack Thank you for listening, and please keep your thoughts, queries and ponderings coming to:  anything@frontendchatter.com @SimonHbikes @Mufga

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, and is it that time already? This, in all its error-strewn glory, is episode 149 of the biking podcast presented by Martin Fitz-Gibbons and Simon Hargreaves in which they attempt to steer a smooth path between pot-holes on the A87 of modern motorcycling, and avoid denting their rims.  Front End Chatter is, as ever, proud to be supported by Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists, and Bikesocial.co.uk, the best website in the world for getting all your motorcycling news, reviews, product tests, racing info and first rides of the latest bikes.  And on FEC this week Simon fails to understand much about anything, leaving Martin to soldier on nattering about:  • EICMA No-Show – the big Italian bike show normally flush with new bikes... but minus some big names this year... • new Bimotas, Hondas – including the resurrection of the Hornet, by name at least – Kawasakis, Moto Guzzi and MV Agusta • Toprak Razgatlioglu finishes the WSB season in dominant style by losing the final two races but winning the title Plus samples from the FEC-sack, including: • what would a bi-directional track day be like as a way of teaching on-road rider training? • what bike would we love to ride but never want to own?  • what bike would we love own despite there being more exciting rivals? • what bikes were ahead of their time, failed, but would be a success now? • what are our best, or closest, near misses? • plus lots, lots more Thanks for listening, please keep your mails coming to anything@frontendchatter.com Come and see us at Motorcycle Live at the NEC on Thursday 9th at 11am, catch us on the socials: @SimonHBikes @Mufga And thank you for your ears.

Halló og velkomin to Front End Chatter E117, briefly the most popular automotive podcast in the whole of Iceland (a country renowned for its exquisite and most excellent taste) and also, briefly, the second-most popular automotive podcast in the UK (er, yes, them too). Great bundles of thanks to the hominids at Bennetts BikeSocial – improve everyone’s lives and get your bike insurance from Bennetts and your biking infotainment from www.bikesocial.co.uk (and their YouTube channel). Right, on this week's episode we have chatter about:  • The return of racing, with condensed schedules proposed for MotoGP and BSB – and which riders will benefit? • Rider line-ups for 2021 taking shape, with him there and him going there, does that mean he won't go there?  • no Motorcycle Live in 2020 – so what new bikes will we see in 2021, and where can we see them? • why do manufacturers make bikes with small fuel tanks?  • the four-wheel Honda powered by an Africa Twin engine • how to fit earplugs properly, and are foam plugs better than custom-made plugs? • with touchscreens and electronics, are bikes getting too complicated for their own good?  • will voice-activation be a thing for bikes in the future?  • ...and much, much more, no, really.  Thanks again for supporting us, please leave a review on iTunes, visit bikesocial.co.uk and get your insurance from Bennetts, follow us on Twitters at @SimonHBikes and @Mufga and email your thoughts, musings, questions and insults to: anything@frontendchatter.com

Hello hello hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, Britain’s rambliest biking podcast with him, Martin Fitz-Gibbons and me, Simon Hargreaves – enabled, legitimised and somewhat vindicated by Bikesocial.co.uk – the world’s largest repository, depository and not the one beginning with ‘s’-itory of all modern new and used motorcycle info – and Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists. And on E105 we have: Motorcycle Live round-up – what we thought of Honda’s Blade, Kawasaki’s Z H2, Ducati’s Streetfighter, Triumph’s Rocket and Suzuki’s V-Big Strom, and what we didn’t think of Aprilia’s RS660, Husqvarna’s Denis and BMW’s R1800 concept because they weren’t there... goodbye to Jorge Lorenzo, a ‘complicated’ champion goodbye to Karel Abraham, with a ‘complicated’ exit hello to Alex, brother of Marc. Can’t see that ending well Plus a super-massive FEC-sack including... what is it with Ducati and cam belts? is Aprilia’s CapoNord an alternative to Ducati’s Multistrada 1200? leathers v textiles for commuting, and the best options for wearing over office clothes is your bike a shrinker or a grower? what happened to normal-sized tail units? ...and much, much, too much more. Thank you for listening, and thank you for joining in with the conversation by emailing your thoughts, questions, considerations and jokes to: anything@frontendchatter.com Please visit bikesocial.co.uk for your two-wheeled info, check out Bennetts’ YouTube channel for some cool bike vids (still Africa Twin, ahem), and get your bike and travel insurance from the mighty Bennetts themselves.

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter episode 104, eventually, brought to you by via the web’s best motorcycling website, bikesocial.co.uk, and Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists, via the mouths of Simon Hargreaves and Martin Fitz-Gibbons. But before we kick off – come and chat to Martin and Simon for real at Motorcycle Live at the NEC on the Bennetts stand (Hall 4 Stand 4B 25) on Thursday 21st November between 11am to 12pm, then again 2pm to 3pm. So it’s a really simple FEC this week: bit of racing, then a metric tonne of new bike news, conjecture, comment and opinion – including: Aprilia’s RS660, Tuono and Tuareg BMW’s F900XR Ducati’s Streetfighter V4 Harley’s Pan Am Honda’s Blade and Africa Twin Husqvarna’s Denis concept Kawasaki’s Z H2 and Z1000SX KTM’s 390 Adventure, 890 Duke R and 890 Adventure. Um... Suzuki’s lovely, lovely, lovely DR Big 1050 Triumph’s... er... hello? Hello? Yamaha’s Tracy 7   We ramble on for so long we run out of time for the FEC sack so apologies if it’s not a vintage episode, but at least it makes FEC150 a bit of a no-brainer. Thank you for listening, and thank you for joining in with the conversation by emailing your thoughts, questions, considerations and jokes to: anything@frontendchatter.com Please visit bikesocial.co.uk for your two-wheeled info, check out Bennetts’ YouTube channel for some cool bike vids (Africa Twin, ahem), and get your bike and travel insurance from the mighty Bennetts themselves.

AND – see you at Motorcycle Live at the NEC on the Bennetts stand (Hall 4 Stand 4B 25) on Thursday 21st November between 11am to 12pm, then again 2pm to 3pm. And probably a few points in between. @SimonHBikes @Mufga    

After a bit of a summer break, we discuss our respective visits to demo days at Krazy Horse and English Electric Motor Co, as well as our plans for a live podcast from this year's Motorcycle Live.

For the final BSB show of 2018, the script goes out of the window as Andy Course and Dave Neal revert to natter mode and spend more time looking forward than looking back. After the announcements from the Motorcycle Live event, the 2019 BSB grid...

Welcome to Front End Chatter E83, and what a perfectly formed audio package it is too – supported and sustained as forever and always by the magnificent humanoids at www.bikesocial.co.uk and their Bennetts-ian, bike insuring benefactors. And wow! Scoop! Front End Chatter has a world exclusive interview with none other than the youngest man-child ever to win a grand prix – fresh from his Valencia Moto3 victory, we present Mr Can Öncü, fresh from his crib, literally. But apart from that, this week we waffle interminably on the following:   winners and losers from the final round of MotoGP from a predictably, or not, sopping-wet Valencia... ...and happy bunnies and sad hedgehogs from MotoGP testing at a largely dry Valencia will Triumph enter a factory team in Moto2 at some point, like, 2020, maybe to coincide with the launch of a Daytona 765 road bike? hits and misses from that 2018 Motorcycle Live they had then Triumph’s new Street Twin and Street Scrambler, ridden at the launch in Portugal (in case it’s unclear) comparing the sound of BMW’s R1250 flat twin v the R1200 engine, and what it can tell us about the development of the new engine Renthal’s chain expert gives his opinion on dealing with burst O-ring seals down a ropey phone line what’s the best road sport tyres for a Daytona 675 for less than £200? what bikes can you buy now that will only increase in value, effectively giving you free biking? And is it worth buying a bike as an investment when you’re 50, anyway? why does no-one make a great touring naked bike, in the mould of BMW’s Rockster? what’s the best small-capacity bike that commute, do a bit of two-up and cope with a more generously-proportioned rider for less than £1000?... • ...and, in contrast, should a man, who isn’t the bass player in the Foo Fighters but could be, sell his already exotic bike collection and then buy something truly, fabulously, exceptional? It’s a tough one.   Many, many thanks for all your emails; please keep ’em coming to:   literallyanything@frontendchatter.com And catch Simon and Mufga on the Twitters at @SimonHbikes @Mufga Until we meet again!

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter 67, the Shakey’s Racing Age episode, ably supported by our friends at www.bikesocial.co.uk who are in turn supported by bike insurance bods Bennetts. This week we natter about the small matter of a race in Valencia, some racing in Wales that actually looks like it might happen, some more gossip about the Motorcycle Live bike show they had last week (including how manufacturers cheat on seat heights), and answer a veritable raft of your emails on subjects as wide ranging as what bike you should buy. Thanks again for your continued ears, and please spread the word of the words we speak. You can find on Twitter – @SimonHbikes & @Mufga – and you can download this on iTunes or from www.frontendchatter.com – but we’d much rather you listened at www.bikesocial.co.uk, not least because you can lose yourself for hours browsing the library of all sorts of archived biking stuff.

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter E48, which you'll be pleased to hear has no racing at all apart from a brief discussion about the merits of being called Danny Kent but not actually coming from Kent, unlike Danny Webb who does come from Kent.  Anyway, this one's all about 2017's new bikes you *can* buy, and 2016's bikes you can't any longer. Thanks for listening, hope you like it, and see you at Motorcycle Live at the NEC.  Email: anything@frontendchatter.com Twitter: @SimonHbikes and @Mufga  

In this episode we discuss sexy cars and skinny dipping live at JFL42 in Toronto! This episode is brought to you by DSTLD jeans, BlueApron.com, and TrunkClub.com.

Welcome to Front End Chatter episode 21 v2.0 (apparently the dog ate episode 21 v1.0). This week Martin and Simon visit Motorcycle Live and wave a microphone at Kawasaki’s H2R, use the word ‘artisan’ twice, dissect Carl Fogarty MBE’s stellar performance on a reality TV show and whether drinking a puréed kangaroo testicle really is tougher than winning four World Superbike titles, discuss air-bag protection, lament the passing of the thrust curve, and Simon reveals how talking out loud while you’re riding, recording it and putting on YouTube is problematic. But only to him.   Thank you very much for listening, please spread the word, subscribe, and come and read other Chattersome nonsense at: @Mufga @SimonHbikes    *if you’re only interested in the Carl Fogarty bit – and who can blame you? – it starts around 42m 30s.
