Of Klempf's British Parts

itch Klempf began his motorcycle life as a
14-year-old, bombing around his parents
Minnesota farm on a Honda 90. But soon,
Actually, according to Clinton Larson's article
in the Dodge Center Star Record, Mitch was a highly
competitive racer with "...a whole shelf of awards to
prove it. Lots of the racers thought he was somewhat
of a novelty back then, what with his older, British
motorcycle that was supposedly no match for the big-
ger bikes coming out of Japan at the time. Once the

he wanted more power. It came via a 1964 Triumph
Bonneville. Some might call that a quantum leap, but
Mitch just refers to the step up casually in his usual
understated way. For example, when asked about his
racing background aboard a Trident, he doesn't reel
off a list of victories, although he has the trophies to
show for them, and instead down plays the whole

Nearly everyone who orders from Klempf's British Parts will speak to Mitch himself, who stands ready to
offer technical advice as well as a great selection of bits for your Brit ride.
