Front End Chatter #23

The first Front End Chatter of 2015 covers such diverse subjects as:

- Simon enters a race through a village on his FireBlade, only to find out that's it's not really a race.

- The first (and last) Front End Chatter 2014 Manufacturer Countdown, pop-pickers.

- Listeners' problems solved (or at least answered), from trials clubs to tourism advice.

- Does racing sell road bikes?

- Do tall-rounders make sportsbikes look silly?

Plus, Front End Chatter's off-road correspondent JP (@Jonpe23) returns to discuss the ins, outs and upside-downs of the Dakar Rally, including:

- Who nearly didn't even make the start line this year.

- What the words "mousse", "liason" and "fesh-fesh" mean.

- Why you don't necessarily want to finish first (but to finish first, first you have to finish...)

- Was the Dakar better when it actually went to Dakar?
