Smart Move! Policia Federal Immigration are tough. A Brit friend overstayed and wound up being deported after spending 40 days in a pretty nasty prison.
I came close myself as my wife Brazilian had a serious accident, and Air Canada screwed up with overbooking. I was given 15 days further to leave. I could not come back to Brasil untill the appeal process was finalized a year later. My fines were forgiven upon a high level review. The fines at that time where $150. USD per day.
Thankfully a friend is highly placed in Federal Justice. "Jetinho Brasil"
Dont leave your bike in Brasil if its foreign registered.
It is quite easy to get a Brazilian bike and leave it in Brasil and explore all of SA from a Brasil base.
