Summary

Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, Britain's crumbliest, flakiest motorcycling podcast, brought to you by the hapless hackery of Simon Hargreaves and Martin Fitz-Gibbons, nattering endlessly on and on and on anon. We are, as always, scrutineered and scrutinised by Bennetts, Britain's Best Bike Insurer, and bikesocial.co.uk (don't need the www, but try telling legacy media that). And this month (as it turns out) on FEC, we witter about: • Suzuki's new GSX-S8T and TT (cue schoolboy giggling) • CCM going bust • Dainese in debt • global bike sales doing well, but not so much in Europe or North America, a pretty awful in the UK • why automatic gearboxes are the opposite of a guitar solo Plus much more, well, a bit... Thank you for lending us your ears, and please keep you thoughts, musings, machinations and queries to: [email protected] Love ya!
