Salkar Motos Nicaragua - A place to stop by!
Dear Motorcycle Rider,
If you are coming through Nicaragua and you are feeling home sick or need a place to re-charge then you are welcome to stay at my house. I have traveled by motorcycle in more than 40 countries and I know what it feels like to be on the road away from home. Over the years I received a lot of support from fellow riders and the least i can do is to support those that are traveling through my country.
We have a room with private entry, private bathroom and air conditioning. The house as you can see from the pics below is pretty big. We have two friendly dogs, wifi and couple of workers that help maintain the house.
For the most time of the year I'm traveling but my mother is a great host. Since I started this thread and listed the house on the tent list on Advrider we have hosted several dozen riders.
My contact info:
VoIP: +1-714-905-6356
Email: salcar at hotmail dot com
Please let me know if you are thinking on stopping by to send you directions and GPS waypoint and detail directions. Please give me a bit of background on yourself and about your trip.
It will be appreciated if you post a pic of this thread to
Best,
SalCar

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.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
