Laura Klock, from Mitchell, South Dakota, is Vice President of Klock Werks Custom Cycles. She and her husband Brian have built the company from the ground up and today they have more than 350 Klock Werks brand products including their well-known and patented FLARE Windshield.
Laura is much more than just an entrepreneur, though. She is also a true motorcycle enthusiast. In 2008, she was named Cycle Source Magazines Motorcycling Woman of the Year. In 2006, she set a national land speed record on a motorcycle called Worlds Fastest Bagger that was built during Discovery Channels Biker Build-off. Since that bagger race, Laura and daughters, Erika and Karlee, have become the first mother-daughter-daughter trio in the history of land speed racing to hold records at the same time. Racing and improving each year at the Bonneville Salt Flats, in 2011 Laura reached speeds over 196 mph!
Laura has also participated in all-woman bike builds, is a certified MSF RiderCoach, a MotorMaid, and was a Crew Chief for Team Effie in the Motorcycle Cannonball. She has been featured in just about every motorcycle magazine on the racks from American Bagger to Christian MotorSports Illustrated. "The key to budget travel is to approach onward. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Preparation and consuming our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Curbing expending and prices, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!..". Television channels such has SPEED and the History Channel have turned their cameras on her as well.
Laura not only builds and rides and sells cool motorcycle stuff but she is also the founder and driving force behind the Helping with Horsepower project. In 2011 the project worked with the girls of Abbott House in South Dakota, a residential facility for abused girls, to build and raffle off a bike named Salt. As she worked with the girls she installed in them the same values she successfully passed along to her own daughters and values they can use to overcome obstacles and adversity. In fact the rebuilding of a motorcycle became a metaphor for the girls as they learned to rebuild their own lives and discovering in the process that anything can be rebuilt with the right tools.
In 2012 the Helping with Horsepower project will build a bike for the Boys and Girls Club of Larimer County, Colorado. Abby Clabough will be working with Laura on that project.
As the fastest growing segment of the motorcycling public, women are more inclined than ever before to move from the passenger pillion to the front of the seat and to grab those handlebars. In this series of articles called She Rides Her Own we will profile a woman motorcyclist, what makes her unique, and how she got started riding on two wheels.
