Opening new Motorcycle hostal???
 
Are you interested in opening your own hostal for motorcyclists? - Me too!

Let us get in contact and start talking about it! The winter is coming in Germany and I am sick of hanging around for 6 months every year in the cold....Let`s go south! If you have a good idea and maybe some money - we should start soon - Life is short!!!

Where are you ?
 
It looks like everybody wants to stay in cool places - but nobody wants to open one.....Okay, I know it is not easy to do it, but at least we could talk about it....

I saw that a lot of guys are watching this add, but nobody answers....

Have a good time on the road - I am travelling soon through Central America
- I can`t wait....4 more weeks....

I doubt you could buy someplace warm witha view to open biker hostel.. and have it break even, let alone pay. best option in my view is to live where you want, and open your home to visitors..

Biker Hostel / Offroad centre in France
 
Hey,

Just a thought, if anyone is interested.. I have a little farm in Charente, France (about 30km south of Angouleme) which has a derelict stone barn (300m2) and house, which could be suited to conversion to a hostel. The land is hilly and partially wooded, and could also be a great place to start learning some off-road skills. My long-term plan is to convert the place to a hostel / quad bike centre and live there, but plans have overtaken me for now, and I'm currently doing a suit job in London to make some more cash.
If anyone is seriously interested enough in a project like this, and has the right skills (specifically: managing the renovation, good French language skills, and not afraid of a task like this) to complement me in setting something like this up, I'd definitely be interested in hearing from you.

I'm not joking, by the way.. I just can't do this on my own right now..

Thanks,
Phoenix.

Hi,

Well I'd rule nothing out, but I definitely need someone with good French.. preferably someone who has lived in France, as the devil is in the detail when it comes to building / renovating in France.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, unfortunately I want to open one back home (Uruguay). I have also considered opening one in Argentina.

I was planning on offering tours and bike rentals (I have two KLRs right now).


Ahhh.... one day!!!
