My motorbike: Ezra's only way to earn a living
Ezra drives for a living in London, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 4 weeks.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,727 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $550 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $300
• Towing and inspection: $55
• Labor charges: $195
Glad we found this place.
