Motorcycle- Stunt- driver Rainer Schwarz

All over Europe his shows on Buell and Harley-Davidson motorcycles are very unique and special events.
His new Pyro-show has not been seen often until now but at the „Harley-Weekend Luebeck he will give everything to present an astonishing show.

Rainer Schwarz has rocket fuel in his blood. At the age of ten it was the first time he sat on a small moped. As a youngster he bombed down the acre on his 250er. Today years later, he loves nothing better than riding his bike on his back wheel interconnecting all gears.
Already in the olden days in his native home, the Allgäu, he burned tons of tires and was acclaimed for his “Stoppies” riding on the front tire.

In his Kadett, Rainer Schwarz creamed of the profits at car slaloms and circuits between 1993 and 1996 before changing to two wheels again.
With more than 267 km/h, riding on the back wheel he broke the speed-world-record for wheelies. From 1990 on, Rainer Schwarz drove his shows on Buell and one year later he raised the first Harley-Davidson on its back wheel - not a simple undertaking with a weight of more than 300 kilos.
For years he was the only one who used the latest Harley-Davidson model, the V-Rod, a 117 horse power strong Power-Cruiser for stunts and wheelies.
Rainer Schwarz is known as one of the best stunt drivers in Europe. Taking part in more than 40 events everywhere in Europe, he burns approximately 150 Dunlop back wheels every season.
His performance supported with pyrotechnics became the most spectacular attraction for hundreds of thousands viewers at the events.
Even in Japan the raving farmer is well know who runs a farm during the week. Once a year Rainer Schwarz shows Japanese sons how to conquer gravity with a  US bike.
Though Rainer Schwarz became a star on every racing track he is still the guy from next door. On Monday, sitting back on his tractor taking care of his farm at the edge of his hometown, he and his family play the first fiddle - until a new attraction comes in his mind and he shoves his Buell out of the barn.
And when he bombs down the village street on the back wheel, everybody knows: Rainer is back in town and on the road again!

Stunt-Girl | Mai-Lin

When she appears it goes HOT!

After the big success with Rainer Schwarz last year we put one (her) on top.

It's in her! She burns out every tire! She glows tailpipes. Mai-Lin presents a show that amazes not only the Harley community because she doesn't drive a Harley. And there is no need for it, because we want to see her show, what is really HOT! A Lady with gasoline in her veins, smokin' wheels, firewalls or wheelies will be offered in that show.

She really a stunt-girl, and the only Motorbike-Stunt-Lady in Germany. She's present on Bike-Shows and also on the movie set.

The “ Harley-Weekend Lübeck” poster from the scene Painter, Michael Knepper.

Michael Knepper, who painted the poster for the Harley-Weekend Lübeck, is the most famous Harley scene painter internationally known. Especially the Americans love his artwork.  It is not uncommon for Michael Knepper to receive mail from clients, who previously purchased a print of his artwork, and now want it to be signed by him. When it comes to getting an inscription from him, his fans spare no expense.

Needless to say, we are very proud that Michael Knepper took time to paint the artwork for the Harley-Weekend in Lübeck. As seen in the artwork there is a Harley-biker, the Lübecker Holstentor, and also a Viking-Cycles ship symbolically standing for the Harley-Davidson representation in Luebeck, who as the Sponsored Dealer made the event possible.

Last year Michael Knepper published his “OUT OF HELL” calendar drawing attention in the Who’s Who of the Harley-Bike customer scene. For over two years, he has been working on this calendar project. After having convinced the bike-builders he made a photo shooting with each of them  and includes people such as Marcus Walz. After having finished all 12 paintings he is selling the calendar for 2010. The limited calendar for 2009 was sold out of stock quickly.  The calendar for 2010 has a limited quantity of 1000 pieces.

At the Harley-Weekend-Lübeck he will display many of his artworks and offer many prints for sale. As a special highlight he will show his skills and will paint at the event.
At present, he just finished his recent artwork “Spirit of Sturgis” which will be shown in Lübeck as well. In his daily life the major clients of Michael Knepper include international companies such as Siemens and Mercedes. We are looking forward to welcome this very special artist.

Special Fotograf Patrick de Jourdan auf dem Harley-Weekend Lübeck

Patrick de Jourdan, geboren und aufgewachsen in Lethbridge (Alberta - Canada), stammt aus einer Fotografen-Familie, die seit 3 Generationen ihr Leben der fotografischen Kunst gewidmet hat. Den Einstieg in die Fotografie wurde Patrick von seinem Vater ermöglicht, der ihn als Assistent anlernte und beschäftigte. Nach einigen gemeinsamen Arbeiten förderte sein Vater seine Aus- und Weiterbildung. Patrick studierte und bildete sich u. a. an dem „Brooks Institute of Photographic Arts“ in Santa Barbara California, der „Winona School of Photographic Arts“ in Fort Wayne Indiana und dem „Dean Collins Institute“ in San Diego California fort.

Im Jahr 1980 begann Patrick de Jourdan in dem 1921 gegründeten Familienunternehmen „de Jourdan´s  Studio Ltd.“ als Fotograf zu arbeiten und hat sowohl die künstlerische, als auch die technische Seite der Fotografie im Laufe der Jahre fortgesetzt und weiterentwickelt.
Er war einer derjenigen, die schon früh an die digitale Fotografie glaubte und einer der ersten in Canada, der seinen Betrieb vollständig darauf umstellte. Dies eröffnete ihm die Möglichkeit, als digitaler Ausbilder für „Kodak Canada Inc.“ tätig zu sein.

Mit dem Glauben an die technische Entwicklung, war es für Patrick aber auch wichtig, den Geist künstlerisch zu stimulieren. In der Zeit von 1988 bis 1998 bekam er u. a. 11 nationale Akkreditierungen von den „Professional Photographers of Canada“ für seine Werke und im Jahr 2002 erarbeitete er sich den Titel des „Masters of Photographic Arts“ (Mpa).
Patrick de Jourdan arbeitet seit über 20 Jahren als leidenschaftlicher, professioneller Fotograf und war in Canada und Teilen der USA tätig.
