Love that the youtube page says "videos every week" still but its been over a year now since the last one. Sucks to see this channel die but hope John is doing well with the new shop.
This was one of my favorite channels since I’m a diy Harley Davidson owner. So sad to see it has faded off. If the shop is killin it and things are too busy I would consider hiring a person that solely handles video creation.
Columbus, Ga has a small town mentality. The city needed an independent shop. I wish you continued success. I will bring you my business after my service contract ends at the local dealership.
Yes but if you make it to were the more money you make and save the more they make almost as if they have a stake it it they will do so much better well most will
I've missed you dude. I started watching a few years back when you were at the dealership and basically left after you opened and started the shop and no videos were coming out. Glad your successful now! Wish you could post again
I worked as a tech as they call them now days for Tacoma Washington Harley & then moved to Florida & worked at Pineada Harley in Rockeldege Fla which is now space coast Harley in Palm Bay Fla but that’s been over 30 years ago now but if I was younger I’d do it again only have my own shop. Great commentary on your videos. Iam 76 next month retired but ridding my bikes now days year round which is great.
Enjoy your wrenching videos, with your knowledge to help me learn. Product review 👍 Excited your knowledge and hand skills have opened a shop. GREAT JOB.
Here’s my theory: we don’t deserve John Maxwell. He came to us like a bolt of lightening . Great personality , sense of humor , etc.. a man of the people. But now we are incensed that he’s “gone”.. nah, he’s not gone. He took a massive risk. Made his own way. I like to think he’s so effing busy (and successful), that’s he’s lost his mind. Good for you, John. I continue to root for you.. I hope you, your family, and business are thriving . Hell yeah
I live in Indianapolis and everyone refers to it as Indy. Kinda threw me off when I seen “Indy shop” thought you moved here an I was like… freakin awesome! Hahaha Thanks for all of the great knowledge in your videos! Not only have they helped me but, I’m sure they’ve helped numerous people! Thanks! Ride on my brothers!!
People are afraid that the dealerships are going to hose them, always support ma and pa businesses as a rule of thumb. Great to see you posting again, please keep it up 👍
It is currently January 9th of 2023 and I love your content. I've been following you for a few years now and hope you're doing well. I've been wanting some content but wondering when you might post next? hope all is well with your family in this new year!
I found your channel several years back. I enjoyed your content, and was pretty stoked to have met you during the bring it home event in Paris Texas. I pray you are doing well and look forward to more content. 02-23
He mentioned it but the best thing about John Maxwell is his ability to talk to you. To explain what he thinks will work or won't work and the reasons. Whether you are a long time Harley rider with tons of experience or a novice with a brand new bike. His ability to convey information and knowledge is his greatest strength!
Dang man, I’m a new Harley owner and I found your “5 things every Harley owner need to tighten”. Liked the content and realized you’re off making it as a small business owner. I don’t blame you one bit, but I do wish you were still making videos.
Another year past buy - hope you're doing well and the only reason we've never seen you again here is because you're living the dream and you shop is as healthy as possible!
Congratulations John on a year being Independent! That is truly awesome! Thanks for the update! I just wish I lived closer to have your mechanical skills on my ride!
We just got back from a ride through Colorado and Utah (Moab) from middle Georgia. The runs from Durango to Ouray and Golden to Cheyenne will be life changing for those doing this for the first time. God speed and safe travels.
I'm sure we are all in awe of how your business has really taken off, and we can understand how the time to make long videos, is just not there anymore, Always have enjoyed your tips and product reviews, I would really like to see an occasional, Tool use video of New installers, pullers Beating seating, I miss your "Tools to have " in the box Thing.
John, the best shop I worked in was an indy shop. The old fella who owned it was incredible; it was like working for my dad. That came to an end when he passed away. So glad to see you doing this
My Local Indy Shop is (1 man shop) is going on the World Record Poke Run. He worked for a dealership before he got feed up and started his independant shop.
Went to his shop today absolutely amazing and good people. Guy at the front desk actually helped me put parts on out front. Keep up the good work!!!!!!
Been saying it since I stumbled upon you last year by chance desperately searching for other options than the ones that were available here. Columbus needed a Maxwell's shop and that shop kicked covid in the chops. Other businesses died off or just failed from the start. Your business exploded like a monster on steroids and that says alot. Preciate ya sticking with it and before too long you'll need a bigger shop. 🤘🇺🇸💯
Wow, it’s the Maxwell and he is back on another video. I am thrilled that the business has found solid footing in the best social distancing sport I can think of. To the rest of you, take care and keep that shiny side up.
Congratulations, finding out what you don't know is always surprise. Time. Time is not what you thought it was before. At least that was biggie for me. Every year has new challenges, and rewards. Good luck on your continued journey 👍 you will do great.
Run the business and be yourself. Your personality and lighthearted sarcasm are uniquely you. Have fun and keep rockin! Wish you had the shop in Northeast Florida, I'd be a customer!
Great job John, honesty and humor is such a great thing to have naturally, and you show it very well. Look forward for more video's and how to repair our rides. Lots of luck in the future.
It was a real pleasure chatting with you today, it was a beautiful day and a refreshing ride down from Atlanta’s southern suburbs and for your viewers, I intended to just purchase my item to support the effort and Tim must have told you about my trek and you guys came out as I was gearing up and just let me say, great vibe, great group of guys.
Hey John there are alot of us that watch and have watched your channel for a very long time and some suck as myself got inspired by you and started there own channel. Me myself I new there would be a time in your new shop opening and that you being you that ya would get busy and not be able to do videos as much but hey we FOUND JOHN MAXWELL LOL. Welcome back I'm glad to see you for sure brother.
Loved your content when you were at the HD shop. Although I do miss your vid's I understand you have a lot going on. Best wishes ! Maybe post a year 2 (or is it 3?) update when you find the time.
Your on track, running your business will seem normal very soon. You'll find it very rewarding. Been running a small business with inventory, machinery and walk in customers for 31 years. Piece of cake. I'd like a shirt too.
How are you doing a year later? Much respect. Miss the old Tech videos. Keep your dream alive. I'm still planning on making the trip to visit your shop in the near future!
Sure miss your videos John Maxwell. Most people would prefer to patronize the small biz guy because he or she usually cares more about the customer. Hope to see you posting again soon! Happy New Year to you and your family!
You’re on the right track brother, get your business up and going first…..then bring in RU-vid to help spread the word about what you are doing and what services you offer. Those of us who support you will patiently wait for you to get to where you are wanting to be…..THEN bring us along for the ride!! Good luck and God-Speed!!
Hey John...I bought my first street glide special in 2017 and went to a road glide special 2 yrs later...in that time and since then I have scoured the internet and you tube to learn everything a newbie needs to know...from pipes to cams etc ...annnnnyway in my time.doing so I must say that you are not only my favourite tech to watch and learn from but you have a way of making it easy to understand especially in layman's terms. I'm so happy for you that things are going well cuz good things happen to good people..hopefully one day I'll get to meet you and rip out that way from Calgary Alberta Canada...Congrats my man! Jim
Glad to see you getting more vids out again. I wish I could have warned you about what you would be facing for your first year, but be honest, you wouldn't have believed anyone telling you : ).. BUT you will look back on this first year later and miss it, you will miss the "simple" problems you had back then. Take care and hang on, the ride only gets wilder from here : )
We definitely missed you. Welcome back and I’m glad that you are on the right direction with the business and have employees to help you out. Keep up the work sir.
Great to see n hear you again JM.. All the very best wishes for your continued success in your own business. Love n respect to you and your family from one of your fans in England.U.K.
I own a independent shop in Oregon and quitting my old job was the best day ever. I wish you still had regular videos but I understand running a business takes your free time.
Good to hear things are working out. I always support my local guy unless I absolutely have to go to the dealer. He worked at the local Indian dealership until it closed, so he started his own shop. he does great work and at a lower cost, fantastic.
Glad to hear u made it so far bro , I do my own work on my bike 2010 softail heratige and watching u has helped me and saved boku bucks bro also not having to deal with the Dealer bullshit so thanks bro and I wish u the best
Hey John, glad the shop is keeping you busier than you had anticipated - that happens when you’re good at what you do - enjoy watching your videos all the way down in Australia. Thanks
Never apologize for making it big in business. Man, I am sure everyone that watches you are very excited for you and now your staff. I knew as soon as you went on your own you would do great! I hope that you get a ton of video from the event. I met the Badgers and had them on our Sunday Fireside Chat with The Boys and they are really great people. Hit us with a video when you can I keep your eye on the prize which is your business. Ride Safe
John, Congratulations on your first year of business!!!!!!! If I lived close to you I would have you do all the work on my bike! Welcome to business ownership, I wish you well and God bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey John glad to see ya brother. I know your work is 100% time consuming so thanks for dropping in.Here in Columbus Oh,used to have that Homey type feeling and now counting the burbs we are at about 1.2 Million and it sucks !
Never did like the dealership either, used out of necessity, but now have a local shop to use for work that I do not want to do or have the time for myself, hope the event goes well
Get T-shirts for that motorcycle run. Make sure you have RU-vid somewhere on the shirts. Bikers love to collect T-shirts from all the famous places they have been and all the famous people they have met.
thank you john for all the great videos, ive learned so much about working on my own 2016 harley heritage softail from you. please dont ever stop making them, love them all
