Show notes

Hello and welcome (and a special hello and welcome to Adam Danger, who reads this 'sometimes')... to Episode 211 of Front End Chatter, the motorbicycling podcast prefrontally-lobotomised by Simon Hargreaves and Martin Fitz-Gibbons, two motorcycle journalists who've been doing since their own, personal Day Ones. We are, as always and hopefully forever, in debt to and grateful for the patronage of Bennetts, Britain's Best Bike Insurers – FACT – and bikesocial.co.uk, the bestest and brightest biking website and YouTube channel, amen. And on the pod this time around the sun, we have: • news of BMW's R1300 R • how to make BMW's £25k R1300 GSA better for £9.99 (with thanks to Neil at NJW Moto YouTube) • Yamaha's half fuel, half battery hybrid MT-09 • KTM in more trouble • Triumph's smashing super smart updated Trident and Tiger Sport 660s Plus emails and missives from you, dear FEC listener, including a spectacular rant from Martin – bit of a collector's item. Thank you very much for listening, look forward to seeing some of you on the forthcoming FEC Highland Flings (have I mentioned we're going ON HOLIDAY!)... ..oh, and please send your emails, questions, queries, thoughts, ponderings, which bike should you buy next to: [email protected] Chars!
