Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter, Episode 162 of the long-running family of motorcycling podcasts featuring wayward sons Simon Hargreaves and Martin Fitz-Gibbons (combined motorcycle journalism age: 50+, combined mental age: -50), supported like a pair of workshy fops by the patriarchal benevolence of Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists and bikesocial.co.uk, the place on t'internet to get all your bike info. 

And on this week's FEC we have: 
• when does riding off-road stop being fun?
• Peco Bagnaia done for drink-driving and sticking his car in a ditch
• Suzuki cease World Endurance support as well as MotoGP – is it the beginning of the end? 
• detail on Ducati's V21L MotoE race bike (which exists and be ridden) and Triumph's TE-1 prototype (which exists but won't)
• bolt-ons that make you ride like an idiot
All this an much more...
