For the 4th year in a row, Klock Werks, and now Kiwi Indian, have opened their doors at the busiest time of year to welcome friends, industry associates, family – everyone – into the shop right before Sturgis on July 30.”One of our favorite parts of being in the industry that we are in is all of the GREAT people that we meet along the way,” state Laura and Brian Klock.
Originally set up for anyone traveling to Sturgis from the east…this year to include Chris Callen from Cycle Source
Magazine and Dain Gingerelli of IronWorks riding in on 2010 Harleys from Denver
“Stop by, have something to eat, and meet someone new. We’re here all day.There’s always last minute finishing touches going onto the Sturgis project bikes, people from literally all over the world hanging out…it’s just good stuff.”And this year we will also be “Passing the Hat for Dave”. Laura’s dad, Dave Dunn, was involved in a motorcycle accident last year at Sturgis (August 4,
2008). Due to the accident, his lower right leg was amputated. Dave is coping well physically and spiritually, but you can imagine after 13 surgeries and months in the hospital what an accident does to someone financially as well. The family has learned more about legal issues and insurance companies than they ever cared to know. Dave needs a flexible foot in order to gain pre-accident mobility which the insurance company will not cover. Can you help him? It’ humbling for him to ask, so we are doing it for him! He will be here at the Pre-Sturgis Party and would love to share his story. Actually, Cycle Source magazine is following the rebuild – of his life and his bike. A huge milestone recently was the completion by the Klock Werks Krew of Daves softail, the one that he crashed on. On Memorial
Weekend, he did ride again for the first time.
We look forward to seeing you all…friends new and old, rookies and pros, knuckleheads, metrics, Indians, and Twin Cams. Come out and share in the camaraderie that only happens at Sturgis.
