Cruiser makers have a long history of venturing up


While the cruiser is an underestimated vehicle out and about these 

days, its part as a vehicle in war is regularly ignored. In 

this article, the part of the cruiser is investigated in the connection of 

the Korean War and the vital part which it played amid this 

clash. 

Cruiser makers have a long history of venturing up to the 

plate and conveying when their nation is in need. Amid WWI and 

WWII, makers, for example, Indian, Harley Davidson and Triumph 

given machines to the military which were prepared to the definite determinations of the Pentagon. In 

certainty, Harley Davidson created more than 90,000 machines for the U.S. 

military amid WWII alone! 

Ahead of schedule in the Korean War (August 1950), no less than 45 bikes were 

pulverized amid an unsuccessful endeavor to withdraw. No, these 

weren't Harleys that were caught - they were 

North Korean 

bikes caught by the U.S. 25th Division, third Battalion, fifth 

Marines. Indeed, the recently framed North Korean Army (helped and prepared 

by the Soviets and Chinese) had among its 90,000 men a whole 

bike observation regiment. On this specific day, then again, 

the bikes met their match in the Corsairs that swooped down on 

them with their 20mm weapons and rocket assaults.
