Brasil
Hi I am an ex pat Canadian and living in Brasil close to Porto Alegre for 10 years now..
I have never had a problem travelling in Brasil or Uruguay by moto, worn out 2 motos over the 10 years and working on the 3rd.
Advise is to stay away from large cities, No riding at night, find secure overnight parking, and smile a lot.
Seriously; anyone you approach with a smile and a simple greeting in a public place will bend over backwards to help. I still dont speak Portuguese beyond simple greeting and apology for not speaking the language.
The Moto Stealerships especially BMW can be a rippoff. I have been burned by them all. Best to check with the local riders for any repair needs.
If your in Rio Grande do Sul in January we do welcome Tavelers. Drop a message to me.
