Ratul needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in London
Ratul's my motorbike is Ratul's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,300.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom963 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 three 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 $1,300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $730
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $260
• Towing and inspection: $140
With deep gratitude,
Ratul

Is clutch assembly replacement (parts) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of London
praying for you, Ratul. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hang in there, Ratul. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Best of luck, Ratul. Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ratul?
Thank you. If you're in London I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Keep going, Ratul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you.
