Front End Chatter #37

Welcome to Front End Chatter E37 in which, now the dust has settled, Martin and Simon discuss the ramifications of that race from the point of view of someone who was in the grandstands at Valencia, and someone who had the benefit of replays on the TV (*SPOILER ALERT* hardcore Rossi fans probably shouldn’t listen to this). Oh, and there’s something about the NEW BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION… but we sort of forgot to mention it at the start…

There’s also a load of chat about 2016’s most interesting new bikes (plus a couple of less interesting ones) with the usual disagreement (and one notable agreement), plus emails and exhortations to buy magazines and merchandising.

Thanks for listening, and please get on touch on

And if we don’t speak again before Christmas (which is entirely possible), have a cracker!

Front End Chatter #36

Welcome to Front End Chatter, Episode 36 – the Scoop/Meltdown episode – in which Martin and Simon reveal details of Triumph’s 2016 range of Bonnevilles, Thruxtons and Street Twin – what they are, why they are, why they’ve taken so long and why there’s no Scrambler. 

The second half of the podcast is all about who said what to whom at Phillip Island, and who subsequently rode into who at Sepang, and why Keith Huewen had better cut down on his meals for a few days and get used to the taste of Arai. 

It doesn’t seem like much, but at least it feels much longer when you listen to it.

Welcome to Front End Chatter E35, which contains details of Kawasaki’s forking-great 2016 ZX-10R, BMW’s gravity-defying G310 concept bike (and why, if it really does break the laws of physics and hover, it also breaks the law in Britain), the ramifications of the technology-sharing pact between Honda, BMW and Yamaha, and the usual wild MotoGP speculation and gossip. Thanks for listening, and please get in touch:

Front End Chatter E34 – the Less Than Honest Episode – in which:

• Martin and Simon get their riding assessed and ride very sensibly – almost as if their livelihoods depend on it (which they do) 

• VW are caught cheating on US emissions tests, but are bike manufacturers doing the same? 

• details of Ducati’s 2016 models are accidentally revealed online, by the same US emissions board who ‘outed’ VW (who own Audi, who own… Ducati)

• Suter release a Grand Prix replica two-stroke, with an engine based on a late 1990s V4 500 motor but which mysteriously turns out to be 576cc• more MotoGP gossip in which Simon professes a sneaky change of heart and can’t remember which rider it was caught on TV swapping his mouthguard for a false tooth• plus chat suggested by a selection of listeners’ emails, including why are so many parallel twins about now, why Front End Chatter merchandise costs so much, why some bikers seem to hate that fashion and culture they have now, and the origins of Yamaha’s speedblock paint design by someone who was there.Thank you very much for listening, please subscribe on iTunes or Android, and leave a review.

Front End Chatter #33

Back to scotch rumours of its (not our) demise, Front End Chatter E33 sees a lucid Martin and hungover Simon cover a wide range of two-wheeled gossip including:

  • Jonathan Rea’s record-breaking World Superbike title, and whether Danny Kent winning the Moto3 title might be seen as a bigger deal
  • new bike chat about the 2016 Kawasaki ZX-10R, Honda’s Africa Twin, KTM’s parallel twin, Yamaha’s XSR700 and Ducati’s Monster 1200 R (and whether it is really is their most powerful naked bike ever, or if they’ve forgotten they also build the Diavel)
  • the dubious merit of a short ad film featuring a new Triumph and the ‘pseudo hipster saviour of motorcycling’, Mr David Beckham
  • the current state of the MotoGP championship, plus a review of Hitting The Apex, a film that definitely isn’t about colonoscopy
  • listeners’ emails including the fine line between deliberately causing an accident on track, and just making a mistake
  • and details of where you can purchase Front End Chatter’s range of T-shirts, mugs and key rings. Blimey. Thank you for listening, and spread the FEC word!
