I was the first!!!
Salcars place is awesome. Amazing yard. You can pick mangos in the morning for breakfast.
It is just outside of the City center so it is really peaceful and quite.
There is also plenty of space for bikes. I know Salcar will have some tools handy as well.
Bring biker stickers!

Nice dude!
When you end up at Salcars, you've got to have him hook you up with tastes of some of the fresh produce in the area. Try some local juices and the gorgeous Nicaraguan females.

Hiya Salcar
That stupid carburetor never showed up in Belem... I ending up shipping the Bike to BA and stayed at Fabrizio's house for over a week waiting for everything to come together. Javier at Dakar Motos put a borrowed carb in so I could get over to Uruguay to fix my 8 month bike visa so I am sure it is the carb. The new carb finally made it to BA about a month ago and now I am hoping that it is actually in my bike and running well. I have to call today! anyway life is good here in Azerbaijan.. I met a fellow who is lending me a Paris Dakar to ride around. He was basically given it so he says I can ride it when ever I want. It has less than 7000 K on it!
Hope all is well for you. Did you ever contact my friends Maria and Will Burke? They are in Managua. Funny enough, when I was house sitting at Fabrizios, they were vacationing at the little corn island resort, casa iguana, that Will and Maria are part owners of! Small world.
Saludos
Susan

On general principle, I don't advise breaking your leg in a foreign country. I ignored this advice and broke mine here in Nicaragua a few days ago. Salcar has been unbelievably helpful in getting myself sorted, from guiding me through leaving the hospital (similar to a border crossing you need to stop at a couple different windows and get stamps and things before you can leave. No copies, though) to helping get my and my fathers bikes shipped back to the USA to giving us a comfortable place to stay before we fly back to the States Salcar's been on top of everything. This whole broken-leg thing would've sucked infintely more without him.
Oh, and he's a good guy, to boot. What more do you need? Drop in and say 'hi', you won't regret it.

klr mechanic needed
Hi,
You seem like the person to ask regarding mechanics and parts in Managua.
I'm in San Juan Del sur but need to renew my permit in the city. Do you know where I couldhave my valves adjusted and fork seals changed and other minor stuff?
Thanks a lot, Joel

let us know what you do to renew
Hi Joel,
Surprised you aren't going to *try* renewing your TIP at the closest border, Sopoa. Its only 20 minutes south once you get back on the Pan-Am. Very curious to learn what you finally decide to do and how it works for you. You might do better in Managua. SalCar's moto business manager was ready to point the last guy to the customs office in Managua, then he choose to go to a border, where he had problems, reportedly because he had less than a week left on his TIP... Perhaps the "week" window was an excuse the officials used to try and extract a fee.
