Around 10,000 motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world gathered for the seventh Rocky Point Rally in Puerto Peñasco, held Veteran's Day weekend from November 8-11, 2007.
The 2008 Rocky Point Bike Rally events are posted now.
The Rocky Point Bike Rally is a chartible motorcycle event held on the coast of the Sea of Cortez in Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point), Sonora, Mexico. Registration fees and other proceeds were donated to Mexico's charities.
One of major events of the Rocky Point Bike Rally, "Party On The Point," was hosted by Peñasco Del Sol Hotel, Dos XX Beer and Tecate Beer. But most of the action was downtown Puerto Peñasco during an impromptu street parade.
The Rocky Point Bike Rally also consisted of the Poker Run from Why, Arizona to Rocky Point, bike contests, the RideNow Invitational Golf Tournament, exhibits, manufacturers, dice games and plenty of Mexican beer and alcohol.
Being a biker today is a heavy investment. Many Harley-Davidson's run between $25-30,000. Tatooing the bike can run into the hundreds. Maintenance and upkeep costs are only offset by the great mileage and thrill of the ride. Related gear and accessories, including clothing, costs thousands.
To support this habit, many of 40-60 year olds parading their rides, are lawyers, doctors, accountants, blue and white collars, and police officers during the weekdays.
Last year, more than 10,000 people attended for the weekend. This years attendance is probably the same. The 2008 Rocky Point Rally is expected to be larger.
