Airhead 247 Podcast: Bud Provin

Bud Provin is the 3rd generation owner and operator of the Nickwackett Garage in Pittsford, Vermont where he services and supplies parts for classic BMW airheads and classic Triumph twins. Bud is a regular contributor on ADV Rider and posts as โ€œbmwwrenchโ€ a very appropriate name. His posts are poignant—and most often— spot on when folks are troubleshooting a particular problem. โ€จ

Budโ€™s history and extensive experience with airheads and early K bikes is impressive. He worked in his fathers shop when they were an early BMW distributor for Butler and Smitt and later went to work as a master tech for Bobโ€™s BMW, so he has first hand experience as BMW transitioned from a single distributor with Butler and Smith into the โ€œmodern eraโ€ with BMW of North America.
