Airhead 247 Podcast: Hans Muth

Last episode we introduced you to my dear friend, Upe. Now, tโ€™s time to hear Upeโ€™s interview with Hans Muth. Airhead aficionados know Hans produced designs for legendary BMW motorcycles including the R90S, R100RS, R 80 G/S and R65 LS. Muthโ€™s work and landmark styling were key to helping BMW maintain viability with its Motorrad division in the 1970s and early 80s.

One note about this interviewโ€”the audio signal we had for Hans leaves a bit to be desired and we apologize for this on the front end. Yes, it sounds like it’s coming thru the original trans-Atlantic cableโ€”butโ€”we had one chance to get Hans for this and had to roll with it.

Normally weโ€™d not air audio with this signal quality but we are making an exception and for good reason. Weโ€™d originally planned to visit w/ Hans in person last year but his travel to the US was put on hold at the time.
