I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the suspension 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 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 $550 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $330
• Labor charges: $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Towing and inspection: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong, Horace. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
