Doing some work on bike in Managua
Ill be in Managua tomorrow and need to do bunch of work on the bike, 2009 klr650. Change tires, brake pads, oil and filter... Was wondering if anyone know a good shop to do this? Or a some connection there? My speedometer&odometer cable died too, so Ill need to replace that as well, which might be tricky to find down here.

What exactly are you talking about? Who got the work done!?!? I've never been to triumph, so why would you post this message!?!?

I guess teevee got confused some how. It happens.

If you are still looking for assistance you should reach out to Salvador. When messaging he was always very generous. Every time I rode through Nicaraguan he was out of the country, so we haven't met. SalCar is very helpful to riders passing through Nica.

Teevee, I'm very annoyed with your misassumptions. Why are posting things here that are not true!? If you're trying to advertise this shop, do it in the way so other people, like myself, are not involved.
I've never been at triumph shop in managua, never made an appointment, never talked to anyone or got into any contact with them. I've taken care of my bike needs elsewhere.
Next time make sure to check facts before you do something like this.

not advertising the shop. was trying to help you. oh, you're welcome. or did your mother not teach you to thank those that are nice to you.

i have no reason to believe my friend was lying to me when he said you were scheduled to come but never showed. however, from a guy that asks for help, receives it and doesn't bother to acknowledge or say thank you...

good luck in your travels. may you only meet people like yourself.

Mentioning my mother in any context is out of line, so you should check your manners instead of teaching me mine. You kept posting replies with false information and that's all I was pointing out. Did it ever cross your mind that it was someone else, not me!? Anyway, God bless you. Would appreciate if you don't post here anymore.
