Airhead 247 Podcast: Matt Parkhouse (part 2)

Chris Hodgson is synonymous with BMW motorcycles. His motorcycle career started in earnest in the early 70’s as a mechanic at BMW of Denver, followed by a long successful tenure at San Jose BMW. Chris helped lead the San Jose BMW race team to numerous victories, establishing BMW and the 247 platform as more than a humble touring machine. He later launched CC products and became a leader in aftermarket parts and development for BMW and other brands. Chris eventually came full circle and purchased San Jose BMW, which is still a family run dealership today. A load of things to cover with Chris in part one of our conversation. William Plam is back with for a fun and informative discussion on fluids, greases and sealants.
