How about riding your bike to your fathers place over a couple of weekends - you may know someone you can store the bike with en route or someone on here can help out. Ride to Nicaragua with your father and on the return trip leave the bike as per the penultimate paragraph in the following post from another thread:

Aduana in David in Panama will arrange bonded storage for a daily fee for up to 6 months.
Canada has a specific procedure that allows a vehicle to be left for up to a year on payment of a refundable deposit.

This gives you 6 months to get back to the bike and ride it home - that way you make the most of your time with your father and you get a second trip in.
Just a suggestion.
