My motorbike: Markus's only way to earn a living

Without my motorbike Markus can't work; a $500 repair would put him 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 $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 twelve 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 $500 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $115 • Towing and inspection: $50 • Labor charges: $335 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Markus
