My motorbike: Dusit's only way to earn a living
Without my motorbike Dusit can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $500 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• rear axle replacement (parts): $390
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
Thank you for reading my story.
