Feel free to stop by Newnan, GA before you get to Columbus and say what’s up Blockhead!

Congratulations John! I Couldn’t be happier for you! I have a feeling once your shop is up and running you’ll be busier than you have ever been before, then you get spend your “free time” doing KZread stuff. Can’t wait to see it all up and functioning.

Best of luck John! You're a humble dude and well deserving of all the success. God Bless

Can't wait to hear the new intro - "Hey, I'm John Maxwell and I'm a highly trained unprofessional, and I own Maxwell Motorcycles." 🤘🤘

Gotta work on a new introduction “I’m John Maxwell, I’m a highly trained unprofessional right here at refrigerators motorcycle shop”. Best of luck 🤘

Congrats!!! The best part about being a youtuber with a following is you are also advertising YOUR shop and not someone else’s. If you weren’t you tubing you’d need to spend a lot of time advertising initially. So hopefully this will help. So stoked to see people taking risk and following their dreams. We only live once. So may as well fuel your dreams versus someone else’s. Get it!!

Sounds like there will be some “Maxwell Certified “ bikes for sale soon. Sweet!

Congrats! Can't wait to see how these plays out! Love that we will get to see more behind the scenes and fixing the bikes!!

I am so happy for you! I knew there had to be something in the works, I was getting vibes that the Harley Dealer was iffy on you making videos while working. So excited for repair videos in your own shop!

With all the cool stuff that you have done with your video editing you cannot let anyone hold you back! This has in my opinion rejuvinated you and your subs! I could tell that you needed this and that you were not going to get it working for anyone else! I will still be here and am excited for you!

Good luck to you John. I can see how excited you are about this new chapter of your life.

Congratulations! So nice to see someone moving forward with their passion.

That's awesome man! Now when do we organize a ride to help John get the shop set up all properly and shit??

WOWW!!! CONGRATS!!!..im very happy your opening your own shop...even more happy your taking us on the whole ride with the start up...i am an up and coming mechanic..went to PSI in cleveland OH & will be attending MMI in Sept. & ive always wanted to open my own shop. I really appreciate the videos & the advice..cant wait to see the process...IM READY FOR THE RIDE👍🏾👍🏾

I couldnt be happier for you John!!! Looking forward to seeing how you get the shop put together and watch you grow your business!!

Good luck on you’re journeys I wish you were close I need a good shop for my bike. Rock on

Congratulations John, my club brother George was never happier than in own shop. He luckily had a shop garage built onto the back of his house. He passed almost two years ago now but lives on. Always appreciate what you have worked for and earned. You will do very well and keep up the shop videos.

Congrats man! For a guy to deal with family, work, media, and trying to find his own way through life I have a lot of respect for ya. In the words of joe dirt “keep on keeping on”

Sweet! Can't wait to see the shop setup when it's done.

The company that sells “Big ass fans” also makes “Big ass lights” they’re LED and might work for you. Would be a nice sponsor.

Exciting times!! Grats man, can't wait to watch the expansion. Maxwell's Motocycles on the license...gots to feel good.

Man, im so excited to follow these videos. This has been a dream of mine for a very long time but due to my current employment I would have never had time to get it going. But during this big Corona lay-off ive used it to get some licensing finished up to switch my career around and be closer to home and have a little more free time to start working on bikes a little more. Congrats man, we will have to ride down from TN and check it out one day.

Good for you! I hope all works out very well for you and your family. Have a great time and I will be watching to see what your business sign looks like as well as how you decorate the interior of your shop.

Congratulations man! You’ve been the person who I trust to keep my bike running, so my business moves with you bro!

😱😱😱 CONGRATULATIONS! This is SO exciting!!!

Good for you man. Everyone with a brain and actual wrenching skills gets out of the dealership

John, that's freakin' awesome! Congratulations! I can't wait to see what's in store for the future.

All I can say is it’s about time can’t wait for the merchandise give us an address and you have a new customer

Congrats John Always a blessing to chase your dream. Look forward to seeing the future of the shop and channel.

Incredibly happy for you John. I’ve always enjoyed your content and I’m sure I will continue to. I’ve always wanted to open my own shop but motorcycles has always been the garage passion I’ve been an automotive tech for 21 years and it definitely ground down my love for cars don’t want that to happen with bikes too but sometimes you just have to make the jump and run with it and I think it’s going to be a huge success for you. Wishing you the best brother 👍🏻

Good for you. Congrats John. I'm excited to see how things go for you and your new venture.

I can't wait to see how happy you are going to be with this move!

Congratulations John, very proud of you. I can hear in your voice how excited you are! Going to be a long ride to your shop from northern Illinois to get mike bike serviced by the one and only John Maxwell!

Congrats, man!! I'm excited for you! You're freaked out! Your brain is going a million different directions right now. The energy shows on you. You're ALIVE!!! I wish you all the success in the world. You had the plan and the courage to step out and take action. Inspirational stuff! Hang the sign in the reception area or the little foyer right above the light switch. It should be one of the first things they see. Looking forward to all of the content that'll be coming out of your office. We'll be watching as always.

Congratulations J.M. Can’t wait for u to host a BBQ and we can all ride over and see the shop!

Big RESPECT and Congratulations Mr John Maxwell, your going to love working for yourself brother, I owed my own business for 28 years, and I was the happiest person on earth, and I can tell that you are to, wishing you all the best of luck my friend, you deserve it John, you will do great, I have all the confidence in the world in you brother, now get to work LoL 😂, ✌️ N ❤️ brother 💯

I am super stoked for you and definitely will keep tuning in for inspiration. Having a motorcycle shop is the dream!

Congratulations on your New Venture. The Best is yet to come and may you experience All your heart desires. Happy for you!!!

Dude, just the excitement in your voice was reason enough to like this video. Proud of you for how far you've come. Good luck with everything, and I look forward to seeing the new journey

I'm also a business owner: Fun to see his excitement & giddiness (I remember those days). Please John, use caution as things ramp-up & success begins to take hold. Growing bigger may be followed by reckless spending, so especially early, fight the urge to go down those paths. I started out small, then later grew & went really big (more employees meant more headaches etc.), then longed to go back to small... This is where I & my family were most healthy & happy...

Same boat. Body shop owner and custom painter here. Dreams of grandeur, followed by many "uh oh" moments. Gritting the teeth and pushing through as well as setting a realistic budget is the only way to do it unless you have huge financial backing (that I never had). But, I have no doubt our favorite KZreadr here can do it! A thriving KZread channel is no easy feat these days and he's slaying it. Im sure he will apply that same work ethic and positive mentality and kill it with the new shop!

Bro I’m extremely happy for you you’re such a good KZread or you give out like extreme content you help people I’m glad you’re blessed keep up the killer work bro

I can’t say whether or not the sign should go in the shop or the reception area but I can say just make sure it’s prominently displayed! So cool!

Are you friggin kidding, was seriously going to reroute my vacation to swing thru Columbus just to say hey. Good luck in your future endeavors John

John, Congratulations! It is such an amazing thing for you to do and i wish you the ABSOLUTE best! seeing this a little late BUT I have a feeling even though you started in a shop, doesnt mean you have to leave it. You, as the owner of Maxwell's Motorcycles, can take the projects that have a longer deadline and make videos on them WHILE working for YOUR company. Its always a very stressful time but know that every one of your followers and viewers, myself included, are very proud of what you have done and how far youve come since day 1 of youtube and NOW look where youre at! Congratulations again! Good luck :D

Wow...ya did it! Congratulations! Saw it coming, just didn't know when. You're a real life Truman Show but in your case, you're both the star and producer. Your attitude and insight to your profession and industry rates right up there with Oxygen for us riding enthusiasts. Thanks for all you do and best wishes for a safe and prosperous ride!

Does that mean your moving to my city so we can hang and you can teach me all sorts of mechanics stuff? You’ll never buy beer again! I promise!

You Resign John, you’re not a quitter.

I love that you are on your own. If I lived near you, I would totally bring my 2014 Heritage in for service. Keep it up.

Congrats on taking the plunge, I cant wait to see what you do with the new place. Wishing you all the best from Northern Ireland!

I'm John Maxwell, a highly trai....... an entrepreneur!

I guess things weren't working out with the new owners, I remember you saying they gave you a lot more responsibilities; from experience, I know when that happens they dont give you more money with those responsibilities.

Congratulation John and the Mrs ! You two will do real well. Takes a few years to get the rythme going but it will be exciting times. Wish you both lots of success and I’m certain you will have a strong following.

Left my job at 39 never looked back...been self employed till I retired...I think you have what it takes to do great things in business...good luck with your bike shop...looking forward to watching your new videos on the progress...

Man I really don’t like premiers. 🙁

Congratulations on your new business, John!!! This new move for you makes perfect sense... I can imagine how difficult it is to create the content you do while working for a dealer. Now you have the flexibility spend your time on the job in the way that works the best for you. Best of luck in this new adventure!!

Awesome news. All the best on your new adventure and thanks for letting us tag along with you. Cheers Danny. Toronto, Canada.

Right on man! This is so awesome! Congratulations and do your thing! I’ll for sure be tuning in for every step of the way

Good for you. Back in the 80s i was half owner of a shop for awhile. It was a fun but very busy time. Those were Pan & Shovel days. The Evo was brand new. Very cool. Just remember though, don't do up the profits on your own iron. Buy your parts at cost for sure but don't let the shop buy them. If you're careful and good you will do well. Good luck!

Congratulations John, I am looking forward to seeing what is to come.

Good Luck John! I'm so stoked for ya. My only regret is I didn't get to ride up with my two buds Kyle and JeanKarlo, whom you met at the Paris, TX 'Break the Harley' record meet. Anyways awesome move with Maxwell's Motorcycles! Shop and office area looks way cool, I've enjoyed your vids from the gitgo...I'll def be tuned in! WTG Bro! Paul Bounds, Houston, TX

Congrats can’t wait to see the shop loaded up.

Congratulations John. Hope all works out well for your new venture. Looking forward to seeing your new videos in your new shop. Good luck.

June 4, 1962. I got a few years on you...40 years as a machinist. I'm done. Retired. Good luck on your business. Nothing more satisfying than working for yourself and your family...one other thing. I bought a cordless charger from Ciro for the phone. Installed in a few minutes. Thanks...I really like it and credited you as my source...

And one more thing. Congratulations, this is a great step that you've taken.

Love the new mini-fridge, I haven’t seen one like that until now. Going to have to check it out online and maybe I can add one to my office. I love that you took the plunge and opened your own shop brother! Looking forward to your videos from your new shop, and hope to roll in one day soon from California to say hello.

Congratulations! So exciting, can't wait to see where you end up!

Congratulations, John! I'm excited for you! Looking forward to content from the new shop.

Looking sweet John, I wish you all the best brother.I have a feeling you're going to knock it out! I appreciate all you do for riders out there. Party on !

Hey John, good for you man ! Your already a legend to many of us and I have all the faith in the world that you'll be successful. Love your humble personality, sence of humor and all the mannerism that makes you you! Absolute best of luck to you.

Congratulations on the big move! I can't wait to see the videos and progress in your shop!

Awesome man!!! Congratulations and good luck!!! I’m looking forward to seeing the growth of the channel and the shop!!

Congrats on taking the plunge and starting your own business! I am so happy for you!

Happy for you John, hope everything works out for you! Glad you cleared up that there was no ill feelings between you and the dealership. I wish you luck John!

Good luck on your new adventure, you've got what it takes to make a go of it!

John, I quit me job a few years back to start my own business and it was THE best thing I’ve ever did for many reasons! So honestly buddy you will not look back, really pleased for you. Enjoy it!! Love your channel and what you do.

Wish you nothing but the best with your new endeavor! Looks like a great setup.

I just did the same thing in October. I managed a tire and repair shop for 12 years, left and opened my own repair shop. Best thing I did for myself and my family. Like you, I am a family man and I have more time for them now than I did working for somebody else believe it or not. Congrats on the big move. Blessings on your new venture and your family brother.

Congrats, good luck, and enjoy the new chapter!

Wow Congratulations! All the best on your new venture!

Best of luck! You rock so you're gonna be great! Your enthusiasm is contagious!

Congrats John! Looking forward to the content showing your journey.

So glad to see you putting it out there brother. Best of luck. Nothing like running your own shop.

Awesome news, happy for you John.....Tones of space (inside and outside), looking forward to seeing the shop come together in future videos. Respect from Cambodia 🇰🇭 👍

Good for you! So stoked to follow along! Good luck...you'll do awesome!

Here’s to success on your adventure looks like a great setup

Congrats on the new venture. Awesome building, you'll do fine. God bless.

I love seeing people take control over their future and pursue their dreams. Good luck with your new journey! I’m not far away, so when you open, I’m sure I’ll make the trek to visit!

I like that mini-fridge!! Best of luck to you and your new business!!

Wishing you the best John!!! Congrats on making the move!

CONGRATULATIONS! Big step. That’s awesome. I look forward to watching you grow and you taking us with you.

Congratulations John, looking forward to seeing you move forward

Congrats on the new shop! Good luck on your new venture!

Congratulations! I can see this going to be an awesome setup for you. Really amazing coincidence. I'm also an early June birthday and I decided to start something myself.

Congrats on your new shop looking forward to seeing how it goes good luck

Wow!! We hope great success for your new venture!!

Can’t wait to follow you on your new journey! Super exciting!!

Congrats! Looking forward to new videos of the shop developing and growing!
