An Average Day at Maxwell's Motorcycles

I know it seems like I fell off the face of the earth, but thanks to Dan from Gears and gadgets / gearsgadgets I can showcase what I have been dealing with for the last year.

Thank you for all of the positive comments and understanding how busy John truly is. On top of this crazy shop he never misses a soccer practice or game. He also had our 3 year old at work with him one day this week, helped with school pick ups while one of our vehicles was at the dealership, managed to give a few kids a bath one night, and even put up a new dinosaur light fixture. I promise you the awesome person you see in videos is who he is 24/7 in “real life”.

[@gfunk63901]

Money is awesome. It pays for lessons and equipment but doesn’t substitute for dad being there

[@RYANo_Moto]

I’ve been watching for a long time and could tell he was a genuine dude from the first video. A man can be a lot of things, but the most important is a good Father! Wish nothing but good things for you all and will continue to enjoy the content whenever he’s able to put it out! 👍🏼

[@RideAmerica]

Ooops, think I accidentally deleted my message,. Great to hear from Mrs. Maxwell. Owning a business can be a giant time suck. That is awesome to heart that he still makes time for family. It is also nice to hear of your kind supportive words. Having a supportive spouse makes all the difference. Been watching John for quite some time and am delighted to see his (and your) success. We miss his vids on youtube.

[@GearsGadgets]

You guys are really grinding out life and it is inspiring to watch. Thank you for letting me be a part of experiencing it for a week. It was a pleasure meeting you.

[@jj.1412]

This needs a "love" button. *quits career and offers to be parts slave for Maxwells* Thanks for the video work, Mr. Dan

[@twowheeledanimal4805]

Just happy to see your shop is busy.

[@nocolon]

"9 times out of 10 I feel like an hour has passed and it's actually 2." Owning your own business in a nutshell.

[@vtwinusa]

Yup. Also a sign you like what you're doing.

[@Trooper738]

You have gone from master mechanic to master UPS/USPS/FED-X expert!

[@jtoyhauler8084]

Much respect

[@tennwingman3350]

John, really good to see that the business is taking off. That office manager will be a great addition. I so remember those days of late nights and always behind. Keep up the great work and I know the video's get in the way but thanks.

[@6013kmb]

Oh boy!!!!! You definitely need a parts manager... Nice to see you coming back!!

[@PaulsMotoZen]

The dog was the hidden star of the video. Everybody loves little wiener doggo's. Now all you need is a camera person capturing all the stuff you do all day, every day, and that could be content for your videos.

[@impoppa9647]

just attached a camera to the dog for a couple days, no that would be a hoot!

[@merianmaxwell2567]

He’s cuter than John too 🤣

[@isabellaman2545]

Cheers from the first Maxwells Motorcycles hoodie in Canada. I knew it when u announced your shop. Dirty thumbs up from this small motorcycle shop in Manitoba. Excellent work John

[@araneaetvelivolum1086]

Gregg is a freakin' beast , man . Glad you found him. And great to see that you still have your magic touch ... Re: turn signal right rear. Don't be too hard on yourself. It takes time for shop processes to settle. I think you are doing fun-fuckin'-tastic!!! Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for making the effort.

[@PaulsMotoZen]

Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@d50erock1975]

Great to see you back in front of the camera.

[@ecrusch]

Brother, you honestly and truly need a parts "person" and someone to take care of the office "stuff". Really great to see some videos again. (Thanks Dan)

[@Wooley689]

Offer noted. When can you start.

[@mattohanlon9450]

Awesome video, brother. A day in the life of John Maxwell , The Highly Trained Unprofessional!

[@PatrickJDaley]

Running your own business is not easy. I had a gunsmith shop for several years and know the difficulties of being a one man shop. The number one problem is being able to find people that are able to actually do things without babysitting. It will come together. Office manager is important! That way you can do what YOU need to do!

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Definitely miss the videos but I'm even more excited that business is booming 🤙🏼

[@Delzona]

You certainly need an Office Manager or Parts Person! Good to see ya back on KZbin! Thanks Dan of Gears and Gadgets for helping John out!!

[@GearsGadgets]

Absolutely!!

[@Johnny-Zero]

Much respect. Being both the boss and an employee makes being a small business owner's day loooooong. Glad to see you can still end the day with a smile.

[@jetdoctn]

The hardest you will ever work is owning your own business. Keep up the good work John we haven't forgot about you. Just wish you were closer to me.

[@justanotherviewer52]

Thanks for the video John. Glad the business is doing so well. Now, you certainly need a Parts Manager and an Office Manager.

[@jeffclemons7013]

Brother miss your videos, but knowing your out there livin the dream and making happen is just awesome. Best of luck and kick ass

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Glad you’re so busy man, and hope you stay that way. My Dad always used to say, “you have no idea what hard work is until you work for yourself.”

[@ass_overtitties1900]

Amazing man glad everything is going great

[@waynesiminski8268]

And that is why I never went into a business of my own even though we thought about it many times. It tends to own you. Glad to see you are doing well and business is going strong. Best of everything man.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Great to see you busy man!

[@robsadler5605]

Love the sign at 14:12 😂

[@GreyBeardUSA]

Great to see a new video from you. Excellent.

[@petrinkyle]

Glad to see some videos again keep up the good work and the new shop busy

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

The guy behind the camera doing a great job too.

[@silverbackharley2458]

I love seeing how well your shop is doing!

[@dumberfeet]

congrats man... I enjoy watching your success, its inspirational

[@michaelhoffman8309]

It sucks not seeing your videos more often but to me it’s awesome seeing your dream come true and seeing it looking successful is a cool site . As a long time viewer of your channel it’s awesome seeing you happy and busy

[@adamsmith7832]

Hell yeah! Glad you’re staying busy!

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Great to see another episode JM.

[@hookdog8640]

Great job john. Alot of long hours that most people never see. It takes a lot to run your own place. You have to love what your doing to be successful and you do.

[@jeremycordre8371]

Dude keep the videos going like that. So cool to see how busy you are! Keep it up 🤘

[@KyleJNutter]

I miss the frequency of your videos but I'm more happy to see your shop being so successful! Once a week, once a month, once a year.... However often you are able to post I will always watch!

[@MrChancebozey]

Work work :) Happy to see your gradual success and occasional vids!

[@charleswilburn7656]

Great to see business booming for you. I enjoyed the tour of your shop last year! Thanks for entertaining me for that hour!

[@TheBadgers]

Great to see you doing so well!! I know your working your tail off, remember we had this convo a year ago June when you opened. Keep up the great work and we will see you again in June.

[@mbazzy123]

It is really nice too see you are doing well and that your business is thriving. Great to see you back !

[@catfish573]

Nice video John! Good to see what is going on there. Best of luck dude.

[@simonloxton4246]

Glad to see you doing so well.

[@AdaMoto83]

Keep up the good work bro. That work ethic is bang on! Rewards will follow dude. Great to see the shop in full swing! 👌🏾

[@URBANAMERICANTAC]

Real glad to see your success. hard work is what it takes, wish more people understood that.

[@Wind.Road.Therapy]

Congratulations on your shop being busy and successful. Thanks to @GearsandGadgets for the help with your videos. That is very cool of him

[@stevedillon5274]

Good video John, glad to see you keeping busy 😊

[@ohhmyvodka4342]

Glad you are busy ! It’s cool to see how things run there when you have the time these videos are great!

[@954Lacko]

Man, i am so happy for you! Glad to see you busy! Keep doing the good job!!!!

[@mikedanaher3413]

Being that busy is a good thing. You will be building one hell of a business along the way through your struggles. I’m happy for you. 👍

[@peted2770]

The work levels are like the tide, up and down. It's the beginning of riding season so everyone is waiting till the last minute and dropping their bikes off for service. Jon has been a mechanic for a while and should already have an idea of his trade's work cycle. It will take a couple seasons before he knows exactly what to expect from his shop. If it was me I would try to hire a part-time mechanic or possibly have a guy come in as a subcontractor until the rush is over. Full-time employees are a huge expense and hiring one should be carefully considered.

[@HairyMTB]

Glad to see you are busy John

[@TheBritChief]

Enjoyed this ... quite therapeutic 😌

[@UCRiksDE]

I really enjoy watching this type of videos where you are just doing your stuff in your shop while talking to the camera!

[@norbertolozada6958]

It's good to be busy. Good to see you are doing well

[@edwardrivera4741]

Good to see you again

[@johnburk5748]

Glad you're doing well

[@wakeboarder259]

Glad to see you back putting out vids. Just got back on a Harley and found your older videos, awesome job on them.

[@dang2473]

It's great to see you doing so well! Wishing you much success...

[@luisoutumuro424]

Missed seeing new videos. Great to see this one. But awesome to see that you are busy, the shop is doing well. Life is good!

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Really pleased your business is bringing in so many customers. Love n best wishes to you n your family from England.U.K

[@wcraiderevo8078]

I do miss the regular videos but I am completely okay with this. You are busy and that is the most important thing.

[@danreid5423]

Great to see the biz is booming John

[@mousemotolrs]

I’ve enjoyed your channel, always something worth my time to watch. It was a big leap opening your own shop and I admire you for that,so glad for you it’s going well.

[@tmw1955]

Glad to see your shop is doing so well John Congrats

[@gagehowell3566]

This was awesome though! I’d love to see more of these. Just general our day in the shop type stuff. A lot like the old tv shows but without all the drama 🙂

[@VeteranBiker]

Maxwell, you need to hire a Parts person and someone who can do the bike drop off/customer stuff. Good shop man, I need to bring my bike from Arkansas for a service.

[@jimanness4586]

Wow crazy.. great to see things are going well…👍👍

[@keepittwisted51]

This was an awesome view into your everyday schedule at work you have put out!! Love seeing the progress and the growth of your shop!! Maybe here soon youll be in the market for a shop manager so you can sit back and relax a bit! Fingers crossed And sending all the blessings your way!

[@harryohanson]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing the shop life! I’ve thought about starting my own but I would be missing too much of the wrenching that I love.

[@TheMonchoXD]

John you are a total beast sir! I think we can all agree that even if we don see your videos as often, we love the fact that your business is crazy busy and we'd all love to travel and get our bikes serviced by you

[@pjkitt22]

Be THANKFUL your business is prospering, be THANKFUL you have a happy healthy family to to home to and spend time with, and enjoy the journey brother - it’s all good!

[@bigjoe4020]

This was an awesome video as it shows, at least a little bit, of what's involved in running a bike shop. The wrenching seems to be the smallest part with so many other things taking up time. Thanks for taking the time to make this one, much appreciated. Don't forget to make time at least once a month and go for a ride to clear the head...all the best rsm8

[@bbraggs1486]

Happy to see the progress that you've made and yes miss seeing more videos, but you be busy as hades.

[@wushock92]

Man, if I lived anywhere near Columbus, I know where I'd take my 04 Road King Police. Greg seems to be a good fit, both technically and personality wise. John, you are killing it, brother.

[@michaelmorgan5714]

I feel your pain. I'm retired now. At least your customers come to you for the most part. Good luck. Mike from Maryland

[@dougm7737]

Dude I totally miss your videos but understand!! Glad your business is kicking ass! Best of luck to you and your family!!👊

[@robynmcdonald3942]

It's GREAT to see you are doing well at the Biz. I always enjoy the videos.

[@roymctarsney5655]

I’m very happy that your business is booming! Congratulations, John!

[@rocketracingtv1897]

Love to see the progress you’ve made. Once you get staffing up you’ll be much happier.

[@tjseigler]

Glad to see you back on you tube John.

[@rickywangham]

Never shy of wat u do... N progress.. So far u are working it already in progress. Really happy n best wishes for ur personal best. N thank for helping all the motorcycle rides. Keep it up.

[@billmills5480]

Great to see your dream is realized. Need a bigger shop soon

[@lifebehindthebars8085]

Great insight into your day.. is what is it, we all miss your videos I guess they don't pay the bills.. keep grinding!

[@DH-lx8iu]

Nice to see a new vid from you 🙏. Living life in the fast lane, I hope you will get the time to relax and down a few brewskis and enjoy life now and then.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Living the dream.....you got it goin on brother...congrats on your sucess....you deserve it.

[@richardhartley7094]

Really pleased you are busy John you seem to have everything in order👍😎

[@alpha13dylan]

John you look so busy. I am glad your business is doing well! Hopefully you can hire some more people soon! Good for you! We are all rooting for your success!

[@chetcrowley6526]

Keep plugging away, glad to see you have lots of customers!

[@MrSkriv-ku7ng]

You really gave us a feel for “a day in the life”. Kudos to whoever is behind the camera. Several years ago my son started a landscaping business and I did the office work including payroll, bills, advertising, accounting, state and federal taxes, etc. it took about 20 hours per week. Happy I was when he decided he preferred working on mowers and works as a mechanic for a dealer.

[@KrisGtz]

JOHN! Good for you buddy! I can see the stress on your face but it’s a good stress. Wish nothin but good things for you.

[@chuckwilliams8015]

👍😎✌️ thanks John & crew 😊 stay friends

[@Australiaforbeerman]

John, just wanted to take a second and say Thanks for being you, it's nice to know honesty and integrity are alive and well in your shop . Keep up the great work and roll on Brother !

[@guyconnell2250]

Amazing how busy you've become and how your business has grown in such a short time. I know there is good and bad with that, but good on you J.

[@zachowens1412]

quality video man. I'm glad to see people supporting their local Indy shop. I can do most my own work but I have a local shop I pay to do it unless he is too busy or it's a job he just doesn't tackle.

[@ken2tou]

Enjoyed you videos John. Congrats on your successful business!

[@ridervfr2798]

Hair looks amazing!

[@phuckthisletsride]

Glad to see that business is boomin! More help and you’re be fine

[@larrys.3992]

A man wiser than me once said: "Life is like a shit sandwich, the more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat." Hope your sandwich goes well!

[@davidreinholdii3304]

Glad all is well. Was worried. Glad your business is thriving.

[@blaynebyrd1106]

yay!! keep them coming we miss mr maxwell!

[@zososhep]

Great to see another video from you! Congrats on your very successful(albeit exhausting) business! Time to hire someone who can do inventory and sign in all of the deliveries, help you move bikes and general office stuff! Congrats John!

[@JaySorsby1]

Good to see new videos when we can. We’ll be here waiting.
