A Cushman video from Sturgis…

My good friend Jim sent this YouTube video of the Cushman Rally last year in Sturgis, South Dakota.  If you’re into motorcycles, you’ve certainly heard of Sturgis, and if you’re into classic bikes, you’ve undoubtedly heard of Cushman.  Cushman made small bikes from 1936 until 1965, and golf carts and other utility vehicles for a long time after that.   Cushman had a lot of cool models, too, including one called the Road King (hey, didn’t someone else pick up that name?).  They even had a paratrooper model!   Imagine that, being a US Army paratrooper and getting paid to ride a Cushman scooter! 

This YouTube shows the Cushman parade through downtown Sturgis during the Cushman Rally.  It’s different than the main Sturgis Rally (you know, the one for the big bikes), and to me, it looks like the Cushman Rally was a lot more fun.

If you’ve never been to Sturgis, you probably need to do so at least once.  I went to the big bike Sturgis event about three years ago and it was packed!  I sure liked the surrounding area, too.   There’s a lot to see and do and South Dakota’s Black Hills.

Jim, thanks for alerting us to this YouTube video!
