The sound of 1,500 Harley-Davidson engines will fill the air in Puerto Vallarta between March 12 – 15 with the Harley Davidson Rally XVI. An estimated 3,000 riders from Mexico, Canada, and the United States are expected to bring their Harley’s and $7.5 million pesos to the local economy.
The event begins in Guadalajara and through Tequila with the finale taking place in Puerto Vallarta.
“This is a spectacular event with the arrival of 1,500 Harleys in the city in the coming days,” says Convention and Visitors Bureau director, Miguel Andrés Hernández.
The group will attempt to break the Guinness Record of Harley’s gathered on a boardwalk (Malecon) and will be judged by Guinness certifiers on the Malecón March 14. Certifiers will travel to Puerto Vallarta from New York to witness the event.
Public and private events will be held around the city during the rally, and a closing private event at the convention center.
Hernández says the event was organized with the city of Guadalajara to offer an attractive package for participants to bring their ride to Puerto Vallarta.
Does anybody have the results?
The did not make any records, in fact most of it was just rained out. While the rains did not begin in Puerto Vallarta until Sunday afternoon, much of the country was covered in heavy rains for 4 days. Some people did attend the event, those who lived closer to the area, but it certainly was not close to the numbers expected and no records were broke.
Get your ass down here PV Puerto Vallarta Motorcycles Brian ,,your missing this,,Maybe Sandee could ride ,,,,
Thought you couldn’t drive on the Malecon.
How I read it is that they are all going to be parked on the Malecon. (I know they have to get there first) Does anybody know what time it starts???
Yes, we have been told they will gather at Los Arcos on the maelcón at 1 PM Saturday.
They are in Daytona this week
“$7.5 million pesos to the local economy.” Perhaps the sound of all those pesos coming in will help drown out any motorcycle noise. As for the biker stereotypes — geesh, I guess the only thing I can say is, if one still thinks all ‘bikers’ are Hell’s Angels, then you need to get out and see the world more.
Agreed. Harleys are very expensive to own and most “bikers” that actually participate in cross-country rallies are professional doctors, lawyers, and CEOs. This is a chance for all the good guys to spend a weekend acting like bad boys, their testosterone needs that through mid-life. More power to them :)
Can never understand why people who know nothing about what they are talking about make comments on things they know FA about. Stick to your beading classes Trisha!
I don’t do beads:) But I have a lot of relatives who are avid bikers.
The world is a funny place. Aircor looks like from his profile photo that he would support bikers, maybe even be a biker, but he is rude to Trishia for saying that not all bikers are bad people. Proof you cannot judge a book by its cover I guess.
Hey, not trying to be an arse but there’s no place I can send you a private message. The plural of Harley is Harleys. (Former OCD copy editor:)
Thank you. Not an arse at all. The original title was “Harley’s in Puerto Vallarta for Rally” and my edit of adding the number of motorcycles should have changed that. Thanks for catching it ;-)
I’m dreaming of making myself useful to you:) The hubby would like that so he can retire.haha

A great thing for the local economy. How many are going to come back with their families for a vacation if they are treated right.
The whiners can’t see that!
If you don’t like the crowds, move to Lo de Marcos!
And quit whining!
