Current topic: press rides

The press visited the INTERMOT starting on Tuesday, and of course a number of editors and media representatives also visited the HOREX stand. The highlight was definitely the inspiring press conference held for the world première of the new HOREX VR6 HL models. One of the frequently asked questions was when the first test rides would take place. Our answer: in the next two or three weeks, the first intensive test rides will start taking place with representatives from various specialist journals.

Road show in the spring

It is well known that the series production of our VR6 models has begun, and not only the professional journalists want a test ride. Many motorcycle enthusiasts do as well. For everybody who has ever wanted to ride a HOREX themselves, there will be a special opportunity to “experience” the HOREX fascination in the spring of 2017. During an exclusive road show at several unusual locations in Germany, we will not only be showing the current models but also giving people the chance to take a test ride and much more. Information about the exact locations and times will be published on our website and in this newsletter in good time.

The youngest hit from the Bavarian motorcycle manufacturer can be admired in trade fair hall 7. The Power Cruiser impresses both as a two-seater “Classic” as well as a sporty “Café Racer” in an outfit that is sure to gain attention not only among the older HOREX fans and traditionalists. “With the paintwork in the classic design, we are establishing our reminiscence of the “Regina” as a globally outstanding motorcycle of the 1950s”, says HOREX Managing Director Karsten Jerschke. In line with the historic role model, the “HL” special model is being kept in the chrome look with the colours red and black, the rims are also getting red colour applications. The highest quality paintwork components developed exclusively according to HOREX design specifications will also be used – like in the other series models and special editions.

In the meantime, the production of the start-up series has begun in the HOREX manufacture in Landsberg am Lech; a growing team of specialists is passionately and meticulously taking care of the assembly of the premium bikes, now including the new “HL” equipment variation in the approximated “Regina” look. However, that’s solely the “Retro” outfit, otherwise each HOREX motorcycle is produced according to the highest quality standards and with extraordinarily significant and technically outstanding components. In addition, numerous specially developed light-construction parts from the HOREX parent company 3C-Carbon AG will be used.

This represents an acknowledgement of its roots by the major German motorcycle brand: The last few months have seen the emergence of a prestigious new building on the former HOREX production site. On 300 square metre of floor space of this new building it will now be possible to get to know the six-cylinder series production models close up. This close contact with the lengthy history of the brand is not just reflected in the address of the new store (Horexstraße 3), but also in the immediate proximity of the HOREX Museum on the opposite side of the road.

The store will open for the first time on Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 1:30 pm. The whole HOREX team is pleased to be able to welcome all prospective customers and friends of the brand in the new premises. Also managing director Karsten Jerschke and HOREX development team members will be in the store.

The role of the flagship store includes that of a showroom for the HOREX VR6 Classic and Café Racer series production models. Friends of the brand and potential buyers can gain an immediate impression of the elegance, individuality and sophisticated looks of the bikes, which are unparalleled in terms of quality and aspiration. The extraordinarily strenuous efforts made at HOREX for this high-end power cruiser are also reflected in the revised and updated new edition of the standard work, “The big Horex book”, which will be presented there to the public for the first time.

Another première in Bad Homburg will see first appearance of “Edition #1” of the HOREX Casual Collection.

Opening hours until December 2016: Friday, midday to 8 p.m., Saturday,10 a.m.to 6 p.m.

The 23-year-old’s return marks the homecoming of one of the biggest talents that the district of Landsberg has produced in recent years. Jais – born in Landsberg in 1993 – passed through all of the TSV 1860 Munich youth teams and played in the Lions Regionalliga (Regional League) team for three years. He was also nominated for the Munich senior squad twice.

In 2014, Jais moved to Wacker Burghausen and most recently he played in attack for TSV Steinbach in the Regionalliga Südwest (Regional League Southwest). Despite his young age, this takes the striker to a total of 125 Regionalliga games (23 goals) already, as well as two U19 internationals.

Those responsible for the football department have been in regular contact with Daniel Jais and his father Roland for a long time. This allowed them to register an early interest when it became clear that the striker would terminate his contract with the team from Steinbach, Hesse, for sporting and personal reasons, and wanted to head home.

Jais, who rejected several offers from other clubs, is being hired as a contract amateur at TSV Landsberg. "We are delighted to bring such a high-profile player to Landsberg, Daniel will certainly provide the required boost to our attack. Without the extensive extra support from our main sponsor 3C, this commitment would not have been possible," says Hanns Haedenkamp, Principle Chairman of TSV Landsberg. 3C Managing Director, Karsten Jerschke, sees the cooperation in the transfer of Daniel Jais as a further step in the direction of a promising partnership between team and sponsor. "We had announced our intention to breathe life into our contract. Now we can put this pledge into action without delay."

 

Karina Scharr also achieved a special award. Firstly, she was honoured as the best in the guild for the whole Landsberg Cabinetmakers’ Guild. Secondly, she received the Bavarian State Prize from the Head of the vocational college, Dietmar Bauer, which is reserved for journeymen who complete their apprenticeship with an average of 1.5 or better.

Jonas Seeholzer, another young 3C employee, also performed superbly. He received the best grade of all works submitted for his journeyman's piece, a sideboard made in the company colours, red and black.

3C Managing Director, Karsten Jerschke, was delighted with the achievements of his employees, which are well above average once again. "They can be very proud, as can we as the training company. I am sure that the four employees will also continue to do a very good job for us and can look forward to a highly successful career."
