Free Room and Secure Parking in Belem, Brasil – Amazonia
 

Hello HU members,

My name is Alex and I have been an HU lurker for quite sometime. I live in Belem and have supported many motorcyclists passing by. I have enjoyed very much meeting these motorcyclist and also know what it means to be on the road so I have decided to open my apartment to all HU members, Advrider.com and motoaventuras.net members.

I live in a safe neighborhood close to downtown. I have an extra room with air conditioning and it’s own bathroom. The apartment complex has a closed parking lot with a security guard. The GPS coordinates to my apartment are S01º26.154’ W048º27,276’

I also own a small motorcycle shop that services mostly small bikes but we can help you do routine maintenance to your bike and do minor fixes. My chief mechanic worked 8 years for Honda. The GPS coordinates to my shop are S01°26.412’ W048º28.209’

I have traveled across Brasil, Uruguay and Argentina. I´m very well connected with adventure motorcycle community in Brasil and I know influential people that can help you with along your journey in Brasil with any type of problems. It is just a matter of a phone call.

Here are few pictures of people that have stayed with me and their websites.

Currently SalCar is here with me. He has been here almost a week and we have been servicing his F650GS Dakar (changing oil, brake pads, putting new tires, changing fork oils, changing filters etc) Also, I helped him finding the boat to Manaus.

Hi Alex!

Maybe i come alongt!
I will let you know before, thank´s a lot!

Appie!

Excellent Alex. Good chattin' with you today. I will see you in Belem whenever I can get Doc moving northbound. Will stay in touch!!!

Thanks Alex

Very nice of you to offer this sort of hospitality. Having been put up by an acquaintance or two it really is appreciated and a luxury. To save a few dollars on accomodation is also great

I emailed you are riding so hopefully we can meet up.

Belem
 

Hey Alex - what a super offer of hospitality! My husband and I hope to be in Belem the end of July-09 and would love to meet you. At present, we are wondering if it is possible to ship motorcycles out of Belem by air or alternately by sea. Do you have any information? Also, what is the latest you hear of Venezuela. We don´t usually pay too much attention to bad vibes on a country but must admit we are pretty much put off of Venezuela at this point.

Very good Alex,
It's the way to change the bad image that Brazil has outside here.

Muito bom Alex,
Essa é a forma de tirarmos a imagem ruim que o Brasil tem fora daqui.

:thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1:

That is very generous offer Alex

I have been keeping up with SgtMarty RR on ADVrider and glad to see you post this. I will wanting to come down that way this coming year on my big trip South. It looks like the guys you hooked him up with in Manaus had one hell of a good time. I'm looking forward to BR319 and all of Brasil.

Viva Brasil:clap:

Alex,
I'll be riding north from Buenos Aires, leaving in July to return to Panama. I hope to see you in Belem.
Saludos,
Steve

Has anyone heard from Alex during the past few years? His last post in this thread was May 2007.

I am curious because I should be down that way by the end of the year, and I generally try not to chase too many ghosts

Hugs,

alex
