Affiliations

  • I have spent much of my time rebuilding and repairing dirtbikes and lawn equipment since roughly 2018, which has given me a strong understanding of small engines and repair work. As of today, I have sold dozens of dirtbikes and other vehicles, leading to strong negotiating skills.
