Cyclerides.com Weekly Update
11/16/05
 

Greetings Riders,
 
Well, it is now mid November and only 38 days till Christmas.
It is almost hard to believe that we are that close given the awesome fall weather we are having with extended forecasts to be in the low 80's for at least the next week. Dealership Christmas sales are soon beginning, so it is time to be thumbing through the catalog and leaving that page open so that your significant other can know what to get you. You will also want to check the Rides and Events Calendar on www.cyclerides.com to see the special Christmas related events and sales at the dealerships and other retailers. Hopefully Santa will leave some additional horsepower for the new Road Glide under the tree for me this year. Mrs. C. are you reading this?
 
Last weekend Mrs. Cyclerides and I participated in the Rocky Point Rally for the first time. 
We had been hearing for the last couple of years what a good time the Rally was, but I had always had this little issue about going to Mexico. But as most of you know, I got over that hang-up earlier this year and am now a regular down there with a Day Ride for it on the site.
 
We left Thursday morning from
Arrowhead Harley at about 10am, making all the stops for the Poker Run along the way. The weather was overcast for most of the way but that made it perfect for riding. After crossing the border, it is about a 60 mile ride to Rocky Point. We were hungry by the time we got there so we made our way straight to MOAB (stands for Mother of all Burgers) for a giant burger. After getting to our rooms to freshen up, we were off for a ride through the Malecon and then on to Manny's where they invited us to park inside the place...literally. This is what I call "Biker Friendly".
 
Friday, we met at
Max's, across from the Penasco Del Sol for breakfast before going to Playa Bonita to check in for the Resort Ride. It was an absolutely beautiful day for riding at 80 degrees with a slight ocean breeze. It couldn't have been much better. The route took us to the Mayan Palace about 20 miles outside of town before coming back to the Saxon sponsored lunch at Las Palmas on Sandy Beach and then to the 3 other condo's before ending at Playa Bonita again. That was the suggested route, but we decided to take a little detour and made our way to Cholla Bay for a stop at JJ's Cantina, a popular stop for riders that go to Rocky Point. By the time we got out of there, the other poker stops were closed, so we made our remaining rolls at Playa Bonita where the official welcoming party was held for several hundred riders.
 
Saturday, the Malecon area in downtown Rocky Point was blocked off for motorcycle traffic only.
Good thing, because there was plenty of that. Hundreds of motorcycles showed up to see the bike show, vendors and stunt riders set up on the street. But most were there to enjoy the beautiful weather, Mexican hospitality and to do a lot of people watching from the second story restaurants. Saturday afternoon featured the big parade starting at the Red Cross and meandering through the streets of Rocky Point ending back at the Malecon in downtown Rocky Point to literally hundreds of people, mostly locals, who packed the street leaving a path just big enough to ride a motorcycle through. This was amazing and definitely a big surprise for us. You would have thought the Beatles were riding into town for a concert.
 
The parade was really neat because a
couple thousand locals lined the streets with their kids to see the motorcycles as riders responded by throwing candy to them. It was really cool to see how happy the kids were as the bikes would ride by raining candy from the sky. I'm sure this day is a highlight of the year for them and it will only get bigger as time goes on. We might have even enjoyed it more than they did.
 
After the parade, in the interest of getting some good pictures for all of you to see, and of course getting a little adrenaline pump,
Mrs. C. and I took a ride on a couple of Ultralights to fly over Sandy Beach and the downtown area for a view of Rocky Point from a Pelican's eye view. This was my first Ultralight ride and it was a HOOT! Even though the ultralight terminal was a little primitive and the spelling of Ultralight was a little off, the flight was extremely smooth and I felt very safe. For an extra thrill, the pilot would dive from about 400 feet and skim the beach at about a 3 foot level. It was a very fun ride. I would recommend it. Here is a picture of our ultralight and the pilot. After watching a few burnouts on the street, we had a nice dinner Saturday night out on the water at The Point restaurant, and then rode over to the Mirador area where the street was blocked off for a concert in front of Manny's
 
We decided to make it an early night to be fresh for the ride home Sunday morning 
and beat the rush at the border. But, by the time we ate breakfast and made it to the border there was already a line about a mile long to cross back to the U.S. But, as usual, bikers always make the best out of bad situations and we started riding on the shoulder to the right side of the cars to make their way to the front. The U.S. border guards must have known what was going to happen because when we reached the checkpoint we found that they had a special lane just for the bikes to get us through quickly and we were on our way in just a couple of minutes. That was a welcomed gesture that made us feel special. The alternative would have been at least an hour wait in line. USA! USA!
 
This event is really hard for me to sum up. I honestly have to say it is the most fun I have had on any rally of this type that I have attended.
I can't tell you why, but I can tell you from the moment we hit the border in Sonoyta, I could feel the excitement building. Maybe it was the novelty of being in a foreign country, maybe it was that mystical beach view and ocean air, maybe because the weather was perfect or maybe it was hanging with friends and all of us enjoying it together for the first time. I really can't explain it, but I can say that I was thoroughly entertained for 2 1/2 days.
 
I did notice that everyone was equally amped up a notch about being there. 
Normally for me, and event like this would have to be mixed in with a fair amount of good riding to get a good score. I'm not one to really sit around for very long periods of time, I'd rather be riding. And unfortunately, the Rocky Point area doesn't have much in terms of ride destinations. But this time, that didn't seem to matter. We kept busy from morning till night and it was a fantastic time. The Mexican authorities were great about letting the riders have fun, unlike the Gestapo tactics at a similar rally that I dislike in Laughlin, and everyone was well behaved with no trouble at all. I would recommend anyone to make the trek next year. My kudos to Lyman who organizes this event for a job well done. I can see this becoming a huge event in the years to come.
 
Our thanks to those who rode with us over the weekend and to all of you that stopped to say hello. We really appreciate meeting new friends at these events. Please don't hesitate to say hi.
 
Alright, I'll admit it, I got a little carried away with the pictures on this ride. 
There were so many good ones I had trouble throwing many out. In fact, there are 280 pictures total, so I had to do them in 2 separate groups. But they are excellent and I think you will enjoy them. Chances are, you are in one of them.

We all know that riding motorcycles can sometimes be a risky business. But we need to think about making sure that our families are taken care of in the event of a catastrophic accident. The National Transportation Association is concerned about the drastic increase in Motorcycle deaths as it increased 8% last year...An alarming number." A Cyclerides reader came to me with this and it sounded pretty good. You might want to take a serious look at it. The death or disability of a loved one can cause irreparable financial damage.  Did you know that for as little as $33.22 per month (Age 50) you could receive $250,000 Accidental Death Benefit AND $1,500 monthly Accident Disability Income.  No exam required.  For more information please call Roger Craig at Roger Craig & Associates today at 480-342-9760 or email Roger at Mrterm@aol.com.
