The Airhead 247 Podcast (read about ithere) has returned with its second installment the classic BMW scene. This time, the podcast talks to Rick Jones.

Not the Rick Jones fromthe comic books—the other Rick Jones of Motorrad Elektrik, the guy who’s a real-life superhero, because he helps keep your vintage Beemer alive. We’re talking about the same Rick Jones who wroteClassic Boxer Charging, covering two-valve airheads from 1969 through 1995. You can find more details on that bookhere.

Here’s what you can expect on this episode of the podcast:

If you own a classic airhead, you’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, “ buy Rick’s book”, 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, you’ll want to hear this, for sure.
