And people say repairs on a Harley are expensive! I spent $350+ earlier this month when my front forks had a malfunction & spewed the black, oily lube all over me & the bike. So gross.
Four years ago I took my 40 year old Singer in after a gear (plastic) broke. The part was cheap enough but the labor was $250 or more. I decided to donate that one & bought a new machine for just a little more. I think on all repairs, no matter what item, it’s the labor that jacks up the cost.
