1969:
Ed Cernic Sr. established Cernic's Suzuki in a one room shop
located in Johnstown PA with one full time employee. Ed Cernic
Jr. also worked at the shop part time after school and in 1970,
began to motocross race. In 1972, Ed Sr. purchased what
is now the Pleasure Valley Raceway in Armagh PA, as
a practice course for his sons Ed Jr., Craig and Jeff. Ed
Sr. also sanctioned several races per year at the course
until 1977.
1973: Ed Jr. joined the motorcycle shop full time. The
business continued to grow, but suffered massive losses
in the Johnstown Flood of 1977. Despite this setback,
the Cernics rebuilt the shop at the same location.
1980: The business had outgrown it's building, so a
new home for Cernic's Suzuki was built on property adjacent
to the old shop. Jeff Cernic joined the staff full time
and also became more active in motocross racing. In
1988, Jeff reopened Pleasure Valley Raceway and started to hold
AMA sanctioned races at the course.
1991: the Cernics added Honda products to their expanding
inventory. Also motocross racing became a focus for the Cernic's.
They are proud to have sponsored numerous national
champion riders throughout the nineties and beyond.
Cernic's today
is highly recognized for their presence in the motocross industry. They have
helped more riders reach the professional ranks than any other motorcyclist
company in the U.S.
