My motorbike: Avery's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Avery can't work; a $1,550 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,550 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175

Rooting for you, Avery. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Hamilton.
