This show is a good mix of host enthusiasm, honest inquiry, insightful observation and personal experience all aided by a deep interest in learning more about the 247 Airheads ‘70-‘96 run. A self described home mechanic, Daren takes the listener on a journey of discovery where you’ll find he’s learning something just as you are in real time. You may be tempted to start at the latest episode but this listener would suggest you start at the beginning and work your way through. It’s worth it not to miss the cast of wildly interesting characters you’ll visit with over time. Both Goff and Parkhouse top my personal list but every guest has brought the goods wether it is on the technical end of the spectrum to vignettes on traversing the globe. During the course of my own listening, I’ve purchased a 247 of my own. Now I can put to good use the knowledge gained, resources discussed, and if needed, shops whose owners I have “met” through the interviews. Have fun with the rest of us as this trip unfolds.

This podcast is fantastic. Daren approaches the subject of these classic bikes not as an expert, but as a seeker of knowledge. He talks directly with the experts and frankly, the stories are as good as the advice. Daren and the podcast have inspired to work on my old R80/7! Moreover, I rejoined the MOA after several years absence. I even got my old member number back. Keep up the great work!

Just started my air head education and am thoroughly enjoying this podcast.

I love the show and the information presented, the news and the wealth of airhead knowledge available to the listener is amazing. It’s great to keep on learning about these machines that are beloved by faithful so we can keep them flying.

I recently discovered the 247 Airhead Podcasts. I genuinely enjoy the interviews and look forward new releases. Darin is a great interviewer. His patience with some of the legends to let them tell their story is appreciated. Great!

Very helpful and relevant. Explained clearly with many useful tips. The Boxer2Valve instructional videos are definitely worth checking out. I’m enjoying the cast of interviewed characters and topics. Great stuff!

Been listening for a few weeks now. The interviews are very good. I like hearing the stories from the guests and the technical information is incredibly helpful. Keep up the good work!

All of the episodes that I have listened to have very interesting and knowledgeable guests. I have picked up a lot of little pieces of information about the 247 design and maintenance. Keep them coming!

Great stuff. I have rode my 1983 R80RT since I bought it in college in 1991. I have always done my own work with help and advice from others. This podcast is one of the best sources from people who know. Keep up the great work.

What’s to say? Keep up the great interviews and interesting guests.

Beast podcast out there for any Airhead owner.

I have learned more history about my R50/5 than all other podcasts combined.

This podcast is great! Host is very prepared for each guest and keeps the conversation moving at a pace that keeps the content interesting. There is lots of good information about the airhead motorcycle but you also learn about the people who created the universe around this motorcycle. Also great that I can listen to this when the kids are around.

Fantastic expert interviews with the people who define the vintage BMW motorcycle community!

New to Airheads and this podcast is a treasure trove of information. I really enjoy the stories shared by the guests.

This is the best airhead site….(maybe the only real airhead site) it’s great to hear the historical sequence from the people who have kept these great bikes alive. You have really filled a void for all of us who love these bikes. I was wondering if there are any plans to have an episode about the short run R65 and R65ls. I know this is a “247” program and the R65 has a 248/1 engine, which is a BMW modification of the 247but, they are airheads manufactured during the same period.

What a great series! Such entertaining, insightful and enlightening conversations with the luminaries and characters of our little airhead world and Darin Dortin is a worthy, adept host. I eagerly anticipate each new episode.

Imagine my surprise this evening to hear Anton recount buying his first GS from me 20 years ago as I was riding my mountain bike tonight. What are the odds? Thanks for putting this show together, it’s well done and I really enjoy the content. Cheers, Rob L. From NC.

Mike Ceccini mentioned this worthwhile podcast on the Slash5United site. Fantastic shows! Great guests and great format. Soaking it up like a sponge. Thank you!

Very good, I’m a young guy airhead owner. Love hearing all this technical stuff. Keep it coming !

So excited to see an airhead-specific podcast! And the first episode with Ted is great, can’t wait to hear more.

An interview with the legendary Snowbum or the guys at boxer2valve would be awesome! Great podcast about our legendary motorcycles!

Read about this pod on advrider. Loved the first episode. Lots of fun for beemerphiles. Need more!
