A-U-T-O-matic: Rick Kallmayer

Update: 2025-09-17

Description

Rick Kallmayer has ridden motorcycles for more than 50 years and owned more than 50 bikes. But his latest is a departure from all the rest – it’s his first with an automatic transmission. Rick talks about why he bought a Honda NT1100, how he likes it, and why he thinks automatics will grow in popularity.

Riding Into The Sunset is brought to you by the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America and hosted by journalist & author Ed Housewright. Reach us by email at podcast@bmwmoa.org.
