I have to say this. I bought a HD from SRK and out of no where I ended up with major back surgery, almost 8 months ago and still recovering. Needless to say he is a man of his word. The bike ended up needing a bunch of work that we had no idea it needed and I was in no shape to ride. He bought the bike back with no issues. Hopefully he will be back up and running when I’m up and running. Yes I would do business with him again! 100%

[@BikesandBeards]

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make that situation right

[@richardhopkins9493]

I totally agree with you. I too was involved in a hit-and-run on my Harley Davidson Road glide and ended up having two back surgeries. It was a hit-and-run and they could not find the person who did it I ended up paying for all of the procedures out of pocket. I ended up having to sell my motorcycle back to the dealership where I bought it and lost a ton of money. If Sean decides not to make any more videos I am 100% behind him because he is an amazing young man. Thank you for your comment !!!!

Undoubtedly you've left a lasting impression on how motorcycles can be sold. Your videos weren't just about selling bikes, they were informative and entertaining.

I never actually bought a bike from them before but that is also because I live in Utah, several states and thousands of miles away from them. Back when I first started riding I also was pretty poor. Needless to say I'm still not super wealthy today but I'm at least at that point in life where I can make a decent budget for stuff like this, and then I was super bummed to see that they closed out their whole inventory. But like this ending showed, they are obviously not completely done with SRK Cycles so maybe there is still hope for me and everyone else who wants to still be involved with this super cool place.

I had a Motorcycle, ATV, Snowmobile dealership for 7 years with the same business plan as yours of being honest and fair with my customers. The plan didn't work. People would still flock to the fancier dealerships where they were happily taken advantage of every time. I did gain some really loyal customers that understood what we were all about that I still remain friends with 17 years later. It was my favorite business that I was ever in but it just didn't work out. Still miss it. What I don't miss is with dealing with the manufacturer I was involved with.

[@lilmancc35]

@@DetroitFettyghost man that analogy is perfect because thats what i want to do. I'm just stuck right now or else i would. I don't have a reliable vehicle to get me to work, so I'm debating on getting a bike to replace that. I'm in-between a yamaha tw200 or a cruiser.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

@@lilmancc35 Tw200 is a very fun bike but it's a bit underpowered I think you'd get bored with it and go dang I wish I woulda got a faster bike. They are super fun don't get me wrong. Something will call out to you like fate I'm sure.

[@lilmancc35]

@@DetroitFettyghost yea, well im not really looking for speed, and i dont live far from work. I want one because it could get me around and go off road, with the atvs that ride around here, and they are extremely simple, but i understand how that could get boring, but I've got several other things. I've got a polaris 850 and a 350z car, so speed is fun and plentiful.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

@@lilmancc35 Oh I see, so your not totally new to motorsports than. Yea, it sounds like it'd be a great bike for what u want it for then! Much love dude!

[@johnreynolds3428]

Im not a bible quoting christian or an american, but something about SRK always appealed to me. Love to see you guys back in whatever form 2.0 appears. Good luck with it and to all who worked at SRK!

[@oldestpunkinargentina7766]

Yeah I'm not american either, and an atheist to boot, but Sean's politics and bible-quoting never bothered me or stopped me from watching the channel; he seems a really respectful guy. Otherwise I'd felt as he had been pushing an agenda, which he clearly did not.

[@redraiderrider3289]

Look, a person that follows the lord doesn't have to offend you and ruffle your feathers so bad. If you were truly as enlightened as you believe you would not be bothered by someone's beliefs but instead understand it because you have no way of knowing whether or not there is a God so choosing to say you definitively know there isn't is simply a sign of low intelligence and not a sign of enlightenment as you proclaim.

[@lironmtnranch4765]

I founded my car repair shop in Y2K after my last boss passed away abruptly and I couldn't stand the thought of going to work for someone else again. Running a business is really touch and go. The MOTORCYCLE business is MUCH tougher, even here in Southern California. Not only is it VERY seasonal, it goes through multi-year boom and bust cycles that are as beyond human control as sunspot cycles. When business is down and the s**t isn't selling, you still have $$$$ going out for fixed expenses and payroll week after relentless week. There are times when you really are losing money on every deal and scrambling to try to make it up on volume. People who have never run their own business have NO IDEA how all-consuming it can be, especially in the early years. Good luck with V.2.0!

[@jukeboxheros7021]

From every loss there's always a win that only makes you better. YOU GOT THIS BRO!!!

[@secondchancegarage]

2.0... WE READY! Was kinda getting in my feels a little with this one. LOL. Was like "Dang man, we were planning a moto trip to SRK in the near future!" But can't wait to see what's up next! God bless! And God speed! - Nate

[@dawgridesagain8511]

When I got back into riding after 32 years, your’s were the first videos I started watching because of your knowledge and faith in Christ. God will guide you. Keep the faith. Rebrand and keep moving forward.

[@briantruck2284]

Amen

[@bobsuruncle679]

For the live of God, 32 years, yikes. 10 year break from riding mc for me. 10 years too many.

[@Sinnihilation]

You and Kaplan Cycles are my favorites. You guys should combine efforts.

[@BikesandBeards]

Ken is a cool guy

[@DetroitFettyghost]

I feel the same. I love Sean and Ken. Both great people anyone would be truly lucky to call a friend.

[@WerkToday]

I agree!! I live 1/2 hour from The New England motorcycle museum. Sure would be cool to have a collaboration between the two of you. If you're ever in New England Sean you should definitely hook up with him you guys will get a lot of views.

[@s.sullivan5299]

Couldn't agree more. Both are real down to earth, stand-up guys. I haven't been to SRK, but I have been to Kaplan as it's only about an hour and a half from me. Really cool place, really nice collection of bikes.

[@neilbrown82]

I'm still confused as to what's going on here why did you sell everything basically at a loss what's going on

[@joshuacramer6814]

That just staying above water is where i have been for the last 10 years. I am so happy things worked out for you and your family and all of the people you have connected with and helped.

[@aucklandsadventures]

Keep going Man. You’ve been an inspiration to me. I’ve been around for a bit and have seen the ups and downs. At least as much as you’ve shown Us. You and your team have worked hard to get this far. Don’t quit Now.

[@wk-2]

I also had to shut down my first company, then i worked for someone for couple of years, but now I'm on my own again - much stronger and wiser. Good luck, keep your path anyway 👍

[@drjekyll5922]

Hey Sean, look man... Look at what you've done and it hasn't even ended yet like you said. Just keep at the grind until you get an edge to hone. You got this big fella!

[@jdisdetermined]

What! Dude that's a dope saying! Never heard that before. 👍

[@Viernes_Cigars]

God’s times are perfect. I am taking the basic rider course this upcoming Feb 7-9 and I ran into your videos about beginner bikes/test drives/tips/etc. What caught my eye was that you read scripture in one of your motorcycle test drives and in this past few days I have grown more excited about starting my motorcycle journey and I believe God will help you in yours. Stay strong brother

[@ultrajazz5335]

I love the scripture reading in his videos which is why I subscribed. I hope the best for him and the next time I travel for work though Lancaster, PA, i’m definitely going to look him up and stop by!

[@robertquertermus9197]

Sean, all your passion and hard work on these videos show and you'll be up to bigger and better things in no time

[@recklesstv1071]

Much love to you and your amazing family and team! It’s saddens me to see what is happening right now. We as your subscriber family will be here to support you on your newer posts and inventory sales. I pray for your future, and the future of SRK Cycles. I always look forward to watching your videos and always get so giddy whenever a new one pops up on my feed! I know you have no idea who I am, but I love you and am praying for you, to give you strength through the rougher patches in life. I have no doubt that we will come back stronger than ever in the future. Until then, ride on🤟🏼 stay safe out there! Give Craig a high-five for all of his amazing work!

[@dukiemoto8676]

Over this last year I’ve grown to really like this channel👍Also you’re a good dude and these videos have been very entertaining and all the crazy antics keep me coming back for more. Thank you and God bless🙏

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Sean, your KZbin motorcycle videos are flipping excellent!

[@RoyJenkins777]

It's all in Gods plan my friend, brighter things are on the horizon. I look forward to your next video. God Bless

[@FancyFeast3]

Your dedication, fun approach to life, your honesty about sales, your enthusiasm, it was all a great way to learn more about motorcycles and business. I watched your channel while I went through hard times, while people in my life slowly turned their back on me. Your investment into yourself and those you love was a great example for a future that someone can build if they put their mind to it. I now own a motorcycle and ride around with my dad, something I know is worth more than any amount of money.

[@noobiedoobydoo2717]

There’s a reason why bikes don’t have reverse, gotta keep moving forward.

[@ItalianMetalHED]

Don’t Harley’s have reverse?

[@jermex2352]

@@ItalianMetalHED you had to ruin it didn’t you? Despicable 😂

[@LRSTFJ]

You have finally realised KZbin is more lucrative than selling bikes.

[@TrickRacing]

Your the reason I bought the CBR 600rr last year. It feels like how it should be too just like you said, perfectly balanced and easy to ride . Thanks for everything please inspire more people like me to buy motorcycles

[@piquat1]

Got up this morning and this is the first thing I watch. Not the best way to start the day. Hope everything works you for you.

[@briansmith2131]

I truly Hope Everyone comes out OK and Better thru this. SRK Did change the way ppl look at Dealership sales also Sean showed that not All Ppl who Ride Bikes are Bad Horrible Ppl. Thank you up most Respect 🙏.

[@LinuxHurts]

Great guy, great staff & great channel! Sorry to hear that, but hey, things change. You always seemed honest and transparent. You've been.a breath of fresh air both online and your approach to selling bikes. We (the customer) really appreciate it.. Best of luck in everything--you'll be back, even stronger!

[@badopinionsrighthere]

My only regret is I was never able to drive up and ride a bike home, you're awesome and I'm rooting for you!

[@lcarlson7725]

You are my favorite motorcycle youtube channel.....I'm 60. I bought myself my first bike, a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C50T for my birthday. I never really buy myself anything....but I did, finally. I was so afraid. So many unanswered questions... will I be able to lift it if I drop it? Is it safe? Stable? Can I ride it? I LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEDDDDDD it. This channel helped me do a bit of research and as I learned things, I came to respect the channel. The prayer before every ride, the delivery, camera work, audio, etc etc. etc. I wish you the very very best and I want to thank you very much for being a part of my own journey

[@FoxRider856]

Though this chapter may be over, if nothing else, Sean: remember that you and your team brought a lot of happiness and smiles to new and seasoned riders alike

[@davetaylor5568]

I’ve been thinking about this all day, pretty upsetting. You inspired me to get a dirt bike after I saw how much fun you had on the trail 90. In the future I hope we see you try and be more mechanical

[@mrjavieralcivar]

You handle your own when you become man, and become a man when you handle your own. I live in Ecuador, a bit far from Landisville and your your channel made ripples for 2800 miles to Guayaquil where I live. Your message got me and showed me how to deal with struggles. No bike has taken to such realms, so be proud thanks for teaching me the code and being a better rider of life. God ride with you.

[@Bazzen]

I'm from Denmark. Your videos on a xvs1100 classic, made me buy one. And I love it! Almost 4 years ago. I've been with you since.

[@robertcee510]

Sorry for your loss and losses. I feel for you, my friend, because I have been in your situation in business more times than I want to admit. Just keep moving forward. Time does heal all. Take care. Best of luck to you. ~RC

Coached me through my first bike purchase in 25 years. Thanks for doing good things on a media platform when so many others use it negatively. Looking forward to 2.0.

[@AllenBlackwood]

You’re a great guy and I’ll be looking forward to whatever you bring in the future. I wanted to buy my first bike from you but ended up getting an Indian scout sixty elsewhere since SRK wasn’t open. Looking forward to riding it when it comes next week. I made sure to buy your moto gloves. Thanks!

[@stephenvessey7377]

Oh, man 😔 I totally get it and understand. It changes my ride plan today. I was unaware until now that you sold your inventory. I am a pastor from Canada riding to CA for Run For The Wall and routed my morning to see your shop (and hopefully meet you) as you helped inspire me to ride again and helped me choose the right bikes for the past few years with your videos. Is there still a “shop” to stop at 🤔 and if not, many blessings to you, your family and your future endeavours ☺️🙏
