If you own a classic airhead, youโ€™ve probably talked to Rick Jones on the phone when ordering parts or someone has told you to buy his book, Classic Airhead Charging. Nearly every electrical system question posted in the Airheads forum on ADV Rider gets a response from someone saying, โ€œ buy Rickโ€™s bookโ€, and rightly so.

Rick owns and operates Motorrad Elektric and has been the go to for all things charging, ignition and starter related for classic airheads for thousands of riders. Our conversation this week covers his history in the motorcycle industry, development of his product line, his love affair with airhead BMWs and he even tells us what oil he uses, youโ€™ll want to hear this, for sure.

About

In this series, weโ€™ll be talking with independent mechanics, product developers and aficionados of the classic airhead BMW motorcycles, produced from 1970 to 1995, also known as the โ€œType 247 boxer.โ€ If youโ€™re an airhead rider, youโ€™ll recognize nearly all of our guests in this series. If youโ€™re generally a motorcycle enthusiast, this a great opportunity to add some knowledge to your database and enjoy some great motorcycle talk.
