History of the Gypsy Tour: In 1939, along with Half-Mile Racing, the Club added another activity by hosting its first "Gypsy Tour" to Mt. Rushmore, which was still under construction. Along with Mt. Rushmore, the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club is blessed to have many magnificent landmarks and historical site tours including Devil's Tower, the Black Hills, the Badlands, Needles Highway, Deadwood and much, much more. From Sturgis you can travel in any compass direction and find some of the best riding in the world. Would you like to be a part of history this year and ride with the Gypsies?
