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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!!
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
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. 🤘🇺🇸💯
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!
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 👍
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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'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.
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!!!!!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
The first 5 years are the hardest years of a new business bro keep it up you'll make it we have faith in you and hey let's face it your good at what you do and your honest and that's hard to find.
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.
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
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.
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
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 : )
I like the product reviews, I’ve purchased things based on your word because I believe you are a credible person. I was at Traveling Talls ride in Knoxville this last weekend and I was passing on your advice on products. It’s how we take care of each other.
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.
Still don't see many. Guess he and his shop is doing well. Good for him. Back looking at his vids cause I needed to look up V&H tuner reviews.
It's again well over a year John... at least let us know you're alive.
You need to sell some shirts like the one your wearing. I always support small business, heart and soul of America. God Bless
I'd buy one!
Same!
All in do time fellas 🤘
Yeh I’m in for a couple t-shirts! Sign me up. 👍🏻
With button or snap down collars!
The best "highly trained, unprofessional".
Cant leave that part out
Hey there John. When will you be coming through Colorado?
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.
Having my own business from my first employee to having several, a good tip I can give is “no one cares as much about your business as yourself”
100% true
And the wife, she probably cares. Signed
Former bidness owner.
Familys are important too.Childern grow fast.
And you should never expect an employee to care as much, unless you share
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
John Maxwell Channel....RIP.
God...
2 years since his last upload.
I miss John's videos.
Me too. 😢
Very near 3 years actually
same here always very educational
The Man, the Beard, the Legend. Congratulations on keeping your business up and running!
I got the same message you did, @oldyellercj7. Think it's legit? Lol
Jim E : No idea haha
It is NOT legit. Did not pass go. Did not collect motorcycles. Lol don’t fall for this scam folks. Figured I’d come back and let y’all know.
Thanks, man lololol
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
US Army Infantry Vet, when I’m in town next I’ll swing by. Great job!

Welcome back, John Maxwell. Nice to see you 😊
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!!
Same I figured he meant Harley of Indianapolis that newer dealership that we have but glad to see he's still kicking ass on his own
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.

I miss watching your vids. I hope you are doing well John!
Hey max glad you’re doing great welcome back miss watching ya
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. 🤘🇺🇸💯
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!
Hope things are going well! 👍🏼
Great Job! John you deserve to do well. Congrats to you.
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 👍
Shit people Kno the dealership is going to hose em to death..... An you kno this maaaaan! 🤘
Congratulations! Glad to see you're back!

Dealerships are the reason I own a tire machine and most of the Jim's specialty tools to do my own work. Glad your shop has a following.
