From what I'm Hearing... Motorcycle Rally a Bust

[Jim]

It is true. I don't know yet who it was but one of our biker visitors was accidentally run over and killed. I'll know more later but it is very sad.

Sorry to hear that it is true, unfortunatelly rumors are really bad, the guy at the border was saying that 3 bikers died when they hit a car!! just goes to show how malicious people can be when wanting to spread bad rumors!!

when we were leaving on friday there was a white car pretty smashed up just as you leave RP limits. There was a lot of windshield damage. The police were there but most of it had been cleaned up. The plates were from colorado..so maybe that had something to do with it.

Maybe kind of like Stuart who takes pictures of minnows and does camera tricks with them, eh?

Sources are telling me one young man from Juarez Mexico was taken from us on friday night. He was a stunt rider. Un sentido paseme a su familia.

Seems like someone dies every biker weekend.

Sad but true. It also seems that someone dies from a quad accident every spring break.

Last Tuesday, Nov 2nd, the Daily Star printed this article http://azstarnet.com/news/local/border/article_0967f293-b5fe-5710-92f5-ba57cfac8861.html kind of in the same line as to speak bad about Mexico, however there is only 200 american that died between 2002 and 2010 so far that is less than 8 years, last year alone 807 people died in AZ highways as reported by USDOT, as per one of the comments. We need to worry more about what is happening in USA than in other countries instead, maybe if we start showing and telling what is going on here, specially the bad things, people will feel better about what is going on in Mexico!!

we have always thought the road to RP was in good shape, easy to drive and seems like it was recently paved.Actually, often thought it was better than parts of the highway on the AZ side. We have also driven down the toll highway south to the ferries that go over to La Paz and again thought they were great. Just another seed to plant in people heads that mexico is bad. Maybe the reporter should drive the I-5 through california, now that is a crap all road with pot holes, bushes growing over it and endless mounds of rubber all over it. It ruined one of tires on our car.

Ditto on I-5 in CA.....I towed a Uhaul trailer up for my daughter in Seattle....had to stop every so often to check on the condition of the cargo, the trailer was bouncing so much on that pathetic road!!! I agree that the road from the border to Penasco is better then some of 85 in AZ, particularly thru the monument.
