Chasing the Baja Rally 2015

[Tricky Ricky 0]

Come Chase the Baja Rally with BMW Motorcycles of Escondido Exclusive opportunity to chase Baja's only Rally Race. Sept 28th thru October 2nd.

Originally started in 2013 and modeled after the long running Dakar Rally, the Baja Rally has become the premier rally racing event in North America. The race runs thru some of the most beautiful areas in Baja California, Mexico. Just as with the Dakar Rally, there are no course markings and no GPS tracks. Riders use a roll chart and mileage counter to navigate the course while being tracked by rally officials to ensure that key checkpoints are hit along the way. You can read about all of the basics on the rally here.

As title sponsor of the event, BMW Motorcycles of Escondido has obtained exclusive rights to bring a small group of spectators along the rally route to observe the racing and experience the race up close and personal. We will be given special routes to the best view points of the race each day, then be directed to the finish and the bivouac where we'll be able to view all of the pit drama as well as rub elbows with the racers during rider meetings and meals.

The price for this event is $2795 and is all inclusive which means support truck, meals, lodging, and fuel are all included in this price. The only cost you are responsible for is your alcohol consumption. Our support truck will have some basic spare and repair parts for common BMW motorcycles and our crew is experienced with the repair of these machines. This is NOT a BMW only event and any motorcycle is welcome to join our crew. The ride routes we will be taking are going to be moderately difficult so please ensure you are comfortable riding your motorcycle off road, especially in the sand, and that your bike is equipped with knobby tires.

If your have any questions or are ready to sign up for this event please email Rick Johns by clicking here. Don't hesitate as the few spots are expected to sell out quickly so reserve your spot today!

3K is a tough one to swallow for those who live close to the border of Mexico and frequent Baja on a regular basis.

Makes me think I'm in the wrong business

I know a lot of work and support goes into an event like this, and definitely not dissing.

Throw 1500 peso's in the pocket and you can rip it up for a few days no problema......!!

Pretty cool but ouch that's pricey especially without a bike rental included

I agree that if one knows Baja well they can certainly have a blast riding motorcycles down there on a budget. But, take into consideration all of the things we are providing here. Our control riders are very familiar with Mexico and we will be given exclusive route intersection points to whatch the race each day. NOBODY ELSE will be getting this information, not even the race teams. All they'll get is their roll charts. We will have a chase truck with spares which will also be carrying your gear, change of clothes, etc. meaning you can lighten the load on yourself and your bike with the added security of being able to cart a broken person or broken bike to safety. We are also covering all of the food, fuel, and hotel expenses along the way... over the course of a full week. Those who joined us last year enjoyed it so much that they ALL decided to join us again this year.

We realize that the price is high but given all that is included and the experience we are providing we feel that we are being more than fair with the pricing. Hope you can join us and see that this is a very worth while trip.
