Hello and welcome to the most excellent and hospitable Buccleuch Arms Hotel in Moffat, where we're bringing you a live episode of Front End Chatter in front of a special audience of FECers – yes folks, this is FEC Up The Borders 2024! Thanks as always to our cyberspace hosts Bennetts, the UK's best bike insurers, and bikesocial.co.uk, the UK's best biking website - and a very big thanks to Dave and his team at the Buccleuch Arms in Moffat for extraordinary hosting. And on this live, unscripted, unprepared and generally ad hoc episode of FEC, we have a bunch of questions from our live audience including: • Pamela's interface with a Honda Rebel seat, • exactly how long is it since Fazer John actually had a Fazer, • how does Stuart's R1M feel on the B709, • has the curse of the Simon struck yet again on a FEC Tour, • how well does an Africa Twin camouflage in bracken, • and much much – well, some – more... Thanks to Paul and Jo at the amazing MCI Tours for being the grown-ups in the room, and – maybe maybe – see you on the next FEC Tour in 2025? @Mufga @SimonHbikes
