Herry Klemm grew up with the advantage of having a father who was a motorcycle enthusiast during a time when motorcycles were not popular. With his brother by his side, Herry secured a job at a motorcycle shop in National City, where he learned the art of creating something out of nothing.

Herry's self-taught skills led him to approach racers at Corona Raceway, offering to build machines for free in order to hone his abilities. This opportunity eventually led him to collaborate with Rex Staten, a former Honda rider. Together, Herry and Rex worked tirelessly to create an exceptional MX machine.

Join us as we delve into the remarkable journey of Harry Klemm. From his humble beginnings working on motorcycles manufactured by companies that were still in the process of development and testing, Harry emerged as a pivotal figure in the ATV industry.
