Front End Chatter #42

I dunno, you wait ages for an episode of Front End Chatter, and then two come along at once.

Welcome to FEC#42, which is (almost) solely devoted to reading your emails and answering your questions on subjects as wide-ranging as:

• riding the B500 in The Black Forest Gateaux, a nice road in Croatia, and what's the best off-road bike for a father and son (like we'd know)

• why a 2 x British world champ is doing a bit of half-naked Turkish oil wrestling on TV but isn't coming across as a nob

• choosing between a BMW R1200RT and a Suzuki GSX1250FA

• whether a Honda VFR400 handles better than a Ducati 748 - or a modern sportsbike

• on-bike tracking systems for £13

• how the risk of riding a bike could put you off riding altogether

• what bike manufacturers get from racing

• why F1 cars blow up more than MotoGP bikes

Plus, a bit more natter about Circuit Of Wales wrangles and other bits and bobs. Please don't make me listen to it again just to fill this bit out.
