Get Sergei back on the road: my motorbike repair fund

Without my motorbike Sergei can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working. I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $350 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $200 • Towing and inspection: $40 • Labor charges: $110 Glad we found this place.

      Best of luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Addis Ababa.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sergei

        • Sergei KiselevOwnerAnswer

          Transmission replacement (parts) is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Hope it all works out, Sergei. Hope this works out for you.

        • Thinking of you, Sergei. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

                • Sergei KiselevOwnerAnswer
