Mexico: Puerto Penasco: 2007 Rocky Point Bike Rally

Photos of the Rocky Point Rally 2007

To keep the rally intact, several of the hotels stepped in to host and sponsor the events. The turn out, though, was reportedly less than last year's attendance for the main events on Saturday's Party On The Point. There was also a cover charge for both nights of entertainment and concert by Rare Earth. Only a few hundred people attended instead of the thousands expected to this event.

Playa Bonita Resort's Puesta del Sol Restaurant Bar hosted live music and entertainment, without cover, all three nights. Music was provided by Punto Y Coma Rock Music Group which played retro-sounds of the 70s to 90s on Thursday through Saturday. The Banned all performed on Friday night.

The Saturday afternoon ad hoc street parade of bikes along downtown's Av Ferrocarril became the weekend's highlight- and amusement to the unsuspecting tourists who didn't expect the weekend rally. Watch videos of the street parade.

Crowds gather along rooftops and second story bar patios to get a better look at the chaos below during a stream of bikes, trikes and quads parading down on Puerto Peñasco's main downtown street. What probably started out as attempts to just find parking spots along the main drag on Saturday, turned into an impromptu street parade and breakout demonstrations. Watch a video from the balcony of Rene's Bar.

Harley-Davidsons, lined along the street like dominos. were the predominate brand at the rally. HD made good on the additional promotion of t-shirts and gear used to adorn the $20-30,000 cycles. So did the vendors selling HD knockoffs.

While most of the activities this year seemed to center around downtown, other parts of Puerto Peñasco hosted the main contests, concerts and events. This year, according to reports, was less organized because of problems between the promoters and the city of Puerto Peñasco during last year's rally.

The 7th Annual Bike Rally brought thousands of people to Rocky Point, Mexico on Veteran's Weekend 2007.
