United States2 years ago - Inspiring!
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!
