I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 nine 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 $250 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $190 • Labor charges: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $15 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
