And on this edition of FEC we have:

• as Triumph announces the restarting of bike manufacture in the UK, would you pay more for a bike assembled in the UK instead of elsewhere in the world?
• should tech development in MotoGP, like carbon discs and shapeshifters, be limited to relevance on road bikes?
• Honda’s V4 history filtered through the FEC mangle

...and much more – nearly two hours’ worth of chatter and bobbins. Thank you very much for your ears, please keep your emails, thoughts, opinions and musings to anything@frontendchatter, and catch Martin and Simon the socials... @SimonHBikes
