## Resource

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. As ever, we are mightily humbled to be supported and nourished by Bennetts, the UK's leading motorcycle insurer, and bikesocial.co.uk, where all your biking needs – and, indeed, nerds – are well met. And on this episode of FEC we chatter about: • the rise and rise of Chinese adventure bikes – Kove, Voge and CFMoto to name but three – and are they any good and how long do they last? • can riding bikes be TOO easy? • what's it like riding a Multistrada the entire length of the A1? • and loads of other stuff, including a healthy rummage through the FEC Sack of your emails and questions. Thanks for listening, please come back for more and tell yer mates about FEC, and see you on the next one! X
