Airhead 247 Podcast: Duck Koch
This week a visit with Duck Koch, president of the Airheads Beemer Club here in the USA. Earlier this year the club underwent a structural change that caused some cylinders to get hot and maybe overheat— so to speak. Of course we’ll chat with Duck about that but also and maybe more importantly, we’ll discuss what clubs like the ABC mean to the lasting legacy and popularity of the 247 airhead.
Learn more about the club here----https://www.airheads.org/
William Plam from Boxer 2 Valve is back with us this week for another Tech Talk episode, our topic: aftermarket modifications.

Love this podcast!
Just started my air head education and am thoroughly enjoying this podcast.
Great Show
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 look forward to new releases
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!
