The lady reading her essay kills this episode.
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... more
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!
Great podcast, Darren is easy to listen too and full of great information. Love listening to some of the old stories
Great and fun interviews with the go to guys in the airhead world. The best interviews seem to be the guys I’ve never heard of.
