i will be in LA on the 25th. of Feb. and am looking for a god mechanic to do work on my bike,which is an R80 GS basic and needs a gearbox seal,2 head gaskets.What i need is a good mechanic who is very familiar with these airhead models and who will do a good job for a fair price.I am on a round the world trip and would need this work done as soon as possible.

PS. Ref head gaskets: i wouldn't worry too much about these... just check your engine oil daily and pour more oil in the top... in 100 000 miles i never had the head off my r100gs.
