Front End Chatter - episode 210

Hello you lovely FECers you, and welcome to Episode 210 of the long-running, will-it-never-end, Front End Chatter podcast for motorcycles and motorcyclists, spoken out loud by Simian Hardgleaves and Marsupial Fatz-Domino.

We are, as ever, indebted and beholden unto Lord Bennetts, Britannia's Best Bike Insurers and may his whaling fleet never run out of blubber, and bikesocial.co.uk, the hostess with the mostess, you know, you know... the one that goes up to 11.

And on this month's episode we have, among many other things:

• a bit of gen on Honda's Hornet 1000 and SP, including how much a piston costs and how many years' warranty you get

• who Ixion was, what he has to do with Canon Basil H Davies, and why his 1279 miles in 1905 on a Triumph came to be repeated in 2025...

• a game of 'If bikes were family members...'

• you know what, it's so long ago I've already forgotten but it's jam-packed with yummy goodness, trust me, I should know.
