Get Sadie back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Sadie's my motorbike is Sadie's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $1,400.
🇺🇸 Warren, Michigan, United States977 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $550
• Labor charges: $350
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $350
• Towing and inspection: $150
If you're reading this, thank you.
