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.

If you own a motorcycle, especially a classic or even a modern BMW, chances are you are familiar with or have even spoken with Ted Porter at the Beemer Shop about suspension, transmission or head work for your bike.Ted’s history with all things BMW, goes back into the mid 70’s when he bought his first airhead. That started a lifelong involvement with the bikes that eventually blossomed into work as a professional mechanic and opening the Beemer Shop in 2004.

In today’s episode, we’ll visit with Ted about growing up as the son of a mechanic and how that shaped his personal and professional life. We’ll also dig into his long history with BMW airheads, his experiences as a master BMW technician and hear some entertaining stories, as only Ted can tell ‘em.
