About
In this series, we’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 “Type 247 boxer.” If you’re an airhead rider, you’ll recognize nearly all of our guests in this series. If you’re generally a motorcycle enthusiast, this a great opportunity to add some knowledge to your database and enjoy some great motorcycle talk.
