Good mechanic in Rio de Janeiro!
 

Hey, getting into Rio soon, and I have a few problems with oil leaks, a cracked piston ring, and a bit of re-welding (steel and aluminium) to do to my panniers, all from a bit of wear and tear and one good storm south of Buenos Aires.
I don't have much time to be stopping there and finding a trustworthy mechanic since I have no Portuguese at all right now (just bad gringo Spanish!).
Does anyone have a line on a good mechanic in Rio at all???
I have a Yamaha XT if that matters at all...
Getting there in a few days, so any help would be really appreciated!
Cheers folks!

Seriously, does anyone know a mechanic, even rumours of a mechanic, anything at all.....????
