David Uhl has recreated another iconic moment in motorcycle history on his canvas, J.C. Pappy Hoel on this beloved Indian motorcycle in front of his Sturgis dealership. Pappy’s life passion was motorcycling. He was a motorcycle dealer and race promoter, and is considered to be the founder of the Black Hills Classic Rally held annually in Sturgis, South Dakota. On August 14, 1938, Pappy along with his wife Pearl, and other members of the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club held the community’s first motorcycle “Rally”, which attracted about 200 people. Today, hundreds of thousands motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the globe attend the Black Hills Classic. David Uhl is proud to present “Pappy” to honor his legacy on the 70th anniversary of this historic and influential motorcycle rally.

We are pleased to announce the print release of David’s special Bike Week piece for this year’s rally in Daytona. “Rebel Yell” is the sixth commemorative print in this series, joining “Censored 1933″, “Rumblefish”, “Buried Treasure”, “Babe”, and “Daytona Ink”.

“With this year’s commemorative piece, I wanted to speak to the ’40s again and illustrate the spirit of the rally from the perspective of being young at heart and throwing caution to the wind . Back in the late 1940s, the average motorcycle enthusiast was a veteran returned from the war who was consistently drawn to the rallies for the flat out exitement and balls to the wall insanity of racing down a beach. Of course, everyone in the area would be affected by the sounds and the energy, especially young boys screaming their own echoes of the climate of exhiliration.”

David Uhl, caught in the midst of creating his 2010 Daytona Commemorative piece…obviously protective of the image, David is not ready to reveal his final concept just yet.

The sixth piece in this series will be launched via email in the next few days (one of many reasons to sign up on our “New Release” email list). The official unveiling will take place during Daytona Bike Week in our gallery at Destination Daytona Harley-Davidson in Ormond Beach, FL. The gallery will be open daily from February 26 through March 7, 2010.

You don’t have to be in Daytona to order your limited-edition canvas print but all orders must be received by the end of the rally on March 7, 2010 when we close the edition.

You can follow David’s progress periodically here on the website and if you do come to Bike Week, please stop by and say hi.
