Hello and welcome, dearest FECers, to Front End Chatter, Britain’s best and boldest and brightest biking podcast, bringing a little ray of motorcycling sunshine into the darker corners of your motorcycling minds, hosted by him, the man with the resting disposition of a flattened hedgehog, Martin Fitz-Gibbons, and him, the man with the resting heart-rate of an amphetamine-addled Zebedee, Simon Hargreaves. We are as always, healed by Dr Bennetts, Britain’s best bike insurer. He’s got a clean bill of health, fit as a fiddle, always ready with a cheery smile to offer a whole host of discounts and money-off deals on biking kit and caboodle, as well as competitions and discounted track days. And if you’re insured with someone else, become a Bikesocial Member in the meantime to take advantage of all that stuff. And you know how in the old days in a doctor’s waiting room you had piles of magazines to look at? Well with Bennetts, you get bikesocial.co.uk, the world of wotorcycling on the web, plus their YouTubes channel. Gor blimey guv, innit. And on today's FEC we have an actual proper, serious, piece of journalism: Mufga has grilled KTM bosses about the 790 LC8c cam issue – what's caused it, how many bikes are affected, which bikes are affected and how they're planning on putting it right. You can only hear it, er, here, on Front End Chatter. If you or any member of your family has been affected by the issues raised on today's Front End Chatter, please email

Plus an aggregation of your thoughts, musing and ponderings sent in, as always, to
