Front End Chatter, Britain's best motorcycle podcast, celebrates its 30th episode with a Q&A special. This time we've passed the handlebars over to you, dear listener(s), as Simon and Martin spend a full hour finding, inventing, and in some cases, actually knowing, answers to your questions. Topics include: - Why many riders find life gets in the way of riding, often for years at a time - Are bikes getting taller? And does size (of a bike's seat height) really matter? - Is the Ducati Scrambler "completely wanky"? (Not our words...) - 10 (or so) great roads to ride in Europe (and one in Wales...) - The invention of the British SuperCeleb championship, where Hollywood (the culture) meets Hollywood (the baker) at Hollywood (the corner) - Are the DVLA being sneaky buggers, or are some people just not paying enough attention? - Plus an ex-pat makes us all feel better by bursting a few bubbles about the reality of riding in Australia Thank you for downloading and, hopefully, listening.

After six weeks of sponsored silence, Britain's least-consistent motorcycle podcast is back. In episode 29, Simon and Martin discuss: - Why watching MotoGP racing is a bit like watching two walruses fighting, or a Shakepearean play, or something. - Will Valentino win the title, will Ducati win a race, and will Melandri win a point? - The North West 200 race that was won by a movie star. - The new Honda Africa Twin, and whether it would have been much, much better or much, much worse if it was more like a Varadero. - Why Royal Enfield have bought Harris (not Rolf), and whether there are any warnings to be learned from Hero investing in EBR - The passing of Geoff Dukeobe (sorry, Duke OBE) and whether TT spectators in the 1950s got better value from slower racing. Thank you very much for listening. If you like, or at least tolerate this, check out all our other podcasts at www.frontendchatter.com or search for Front End Chatter on iTunes - and subscribe!
