If you didn’t watch the ending, your going to want to go watch it! Easter egg 🥚. Also we will still making Videos on both channels.
Initiate 2.0... Let's go!
Lets do it! 2.0 engage! I want to see Adventure Rides accross the country! I want to see trips to do barn finds! I want to see you guys go international to test new bikes! Man this is exciting news!
Praise God and All Glory in his Name! God Bless everyone!
People don’t realize that you can’t count us Pennsylvania boys out that easy! Good luck and Godspeed on 2.0.
2.0 YeSSSSSSSS!
@@boondocksaint253 were Americans not Amercan'ts always remember that! Never say die! No matter what state or city- ! Much love!
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%
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make that situation right
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 !!!!
@@richardhopkins9493 why wouldn't he make videos anymore? It's obviously just a business change. Might start selling other things, or overall just become a business for his youtube page, since it's became so successful.
Did u guys not watch the very end where Sean said it’s done….. initiate 2.O
@@ProjectDamo No where did I say he was not going to make any videos anymore. I simply said it whatever he decides to do I am 100% with him. Please read the full comments before replying.
Not even Harley Davidson would buy back a bike after 11,000 miles. That says a lot about your good character. We need more people like you in this world!
Harley wouldn't even fix my TC88 at 15,000 miles when the engine blew because of their plastic cam tensioner design flaw. And by that time it was a know issue got them. Harley sucks. Sean is great.
I am sure they would fix it for a nominal fee.
@@1SnarfyDude if it was a known issue why did you keep riding it until it blew up? Take some responsibility for your own ignorance.
Harley should have been forced to recall those crap TC88 engines with the cam chain tensioner issue. It wasn’t even listed as a maintenance item so they weren’t checked early. 💩💩💩💩
@@rgh622 He may not have even known about it till it happens. Most people buy something and when it breaks search up to see if they have a problem and find out it is super common. Happens in every industry, i'm big into building PC's, and some times a common problem isn't common till a few months after release when every early adopters start to fail that way.
I truly hate to hear this, but a business decision had to be made.
Just know that you, as a person, made an impact on many people. I thank you for your videos and want you to know that watching them and seeing the amount of fun that you and your crew had, gave me the push I needed to finally throw a leg over a bike and feel that free wind. Thank you.
Wow these things occur ..Great ambassador for the business and incredible guy.I actually started watching you for an instructional riding vid your made .ill be watching you bud wherever you end up.
can someone explains whats happened or going on please
Being an honest man isn't easy in life. Good work Sean
And doing used vehicle business with an honest man is the exception, not the rule.
Business isn't for everyone. Not everyone gets to run a successful business.
It's nice to see a RUclipsr who is humble and authentic, especially when making a drastic change. When one door closes another one opens. God bless you.

Last year I bought a Goldwing from SRK Cycles, and there was a slight issue with the key fob not working, even if they hadn't replaced it at no cost to me, I love the bike, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from you guys again. Can't wait for you guys to get up and running again and I'll absolutely be buying my future bikes from you.
Shit, I'm sorry to hear this, man. When I was in the process of finding a new bike, I found this channel and your video's and test rides helped a lot. After I got my new bike (not from you, since I live on the other side of the planet), I just stuck around for the fun video's.
Good luck, man. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and I hope the next incarnation will be a smashing success. Got any other children who's initials you could use?
These are strange times. But the weird thing is, here on the other side of this beautiful globe, motorcycle businesses are thriving due to the pandemic, since it's now the better and healthier way of transportation, or having a good time with friends. I'm sorry it didn't work out that way for you.
Thank you being a fantastic role model for business owners, men & fathers. We appreciate all you do Sean
You’re an example of how businesses should run! Your commitment to ycustomers combined with your faith should be a blueprint for any owner. Not to mention some of the best videos on RUclips! Good luck and God Bless 2.0!
One can easily appreciate the ethics involved, but taken to this extreme is an
untenable business model.
As an Electrical Contractor, I completely understand the learning curve. It takes a lot of time to train someone.
God is great brother, I look forward to seeing more uploads.
Till this day no other salesman has prayed with me after making a purchase. My goal was to buy another from you all. I can't wait to see what God has in store for you next.
I would love to have bought a motorbike from someone just once who is this genuinely real who actually cares about you and that you're happy about what you bought. Good job Sean.
You've been guiding my purchases and wants for years. I can't express how sad this leaves me. I wish I were still young enough to ask you for a job so that I could be on the ground floor of a new venture. I wish you all the best.
As Churchill once said: Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. ...
can someone explains whats happened or going on please
Awesome quote!! I'm convinced that Churchill HAD to have been a super wise 5th dimensional being! LOL!
I've been watching this channel, since I recognized 283 on one of the test rides a few years back. Shopping my first bike, came here to seek some wisdom on a bike my heart landed on. This makes me sad. I wish the best with all you folks do in the future. I will stay tuned and continue to lift you up in prayer.
You have finally realised RUclips is more lucrative than selling bikes.
You're literally one of the very first channels I found that made me confident that I could ride and really helped me understand what I should start with and lookout for.... the respect you show every customer and honesty you've always shown has always made me want to one day buy a bike from you. I pray for you, your family, and your business. You'll be back on your feet in no time. Can't wait to see it.
Watched till the end. So sorry about this, but don’t forget that there are many people out here who love your work, your scripture quotes, and who admire and respect your vision. Stay great
I’m looking forward to seeing what you get into next. Buying my m109r from you and Caleb back at the beginning of the pandemic was definitely a fantastic experience and I would recommend you guys to anyone I know. Best of luck on 2.0 brother…
M109r the harley killer
That 2011 Yamaha Bravo snowmobile you were looking at happens to be one of the most rugged snowmobiles ever made. Great machines I grew up on one. They made them from 1982-2011 and never changed a thing.
You, Ryan, and Noralee are my favorite motorcycle channels. Sad to see the retail leave us, but hopefully this broadens your opportunities to make more videos!
Exactly, and funny, even on a first name only basis, I know exactly who you mean!
@@sierrafoxtrotgolf3638 I've had the pleasure of meeting two of the three. :-)
You guys are the reason I have been starting to get into bikes, went to get my permit and keeping an eye out for a cheap starter bike, I have had the hawk dlx on my Amazon Wishlist since your first video with it, best of luck moving forward will still be here every Friday morning waiting to see whatever you guys put out!
Sad to hear what's happened sean, but always remember that we (your subscribers) love you and god loves you and we wish you all the very best in whatever you do in the future, can't wait to see what you have planned in version 2.0, ❤️👍
Im really sorry this happened u really do a good job with telling about each different bike and giving an honest opinion about it. It helps people decide what they want or maybe what best fits or suits the individual. I’ve watched many of your videos.
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Amen
For the live of God, 32 years, yikes. 10 year break from riding mc for me. 10 years too many.
Sean, first off, great video. Secondly, just want to thank you for getting me back into riding. Sold my old bike a few years ago and assumed I'd never ride again. Stumbled across a video of yours on RUclips and it sparked my desire to ride again. Long story short, figured out what kind of rider I wanted to be, and found the bike that fit that. You helped a lot. Thanks again Sean,,and good luck.
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.
We know the real reason! Shawn is on his way to become the biggest importer of sporty Lifan motorcycles :D
I hope that is not true.
From every loss there's always a win that only makes you better. YOU GOT THIS BRO!!!
I gotta tell you I was a little surprised to find this sad item in my feed. I half expected it to turn out to be some clickbaity nonsense, but sadly it seems not. Most vehicle dealerships could only dream of having the level of customer satisfaction, engagement and loyalty your shop enjoys (still). So I do hope ver. 2.0 gets some good wind in its sails. You deserve it.
I've never had a motorcycle, but every since i had the idea of getting one, i wanted to buy one from you guys. You seemed to be a great business man and stayed true to yourself and you religion.
Do it brother! Nothing else like it. Best thing other than heroin and fortunately motorcycles are alot safer. They get you HIGH on life like nothing else can. I hope you do it.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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!
Dude i feel you. I bought my first business at 29 years old, that was 16 years ago, in those 16 years my body has aged about 35 years from the stress. Today i get to enjoy the fruits of my hard work, sleepless night, 3 relationships about 50 different employees, employees stealing from me, not showing up for work cause their cat had a liter. Lots of jealousy out there because of the toys i now own and I often get the comment, “ you are lucky you bought a little gold mine” 🙄 i worked for 12 years before i took my first full week vacation. At 29 i owed 1.4m to the banks. My answer to the gold mine remark” ill sell you my gold mine right now” money isn’t everything” rock on bro and I wish you all the success you deserve
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
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.
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
2.0 will be five out of five !
Six out of five, I am sure.
Out of nowhere you pop out! When will you initiate Ichiban 2.0?
It's at 4.9 can't get much better
Ichiban!
Miss your videos man
Much respect to this man. I wish I could've bought a bike from him.
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.
You almost crushed my soul, man!! Your videos help get me through the day at times.. I hope and pray you have many years of continued success!! If I ever have an opportunity to own another bike. I hope to buy it from you, brother! Prayers for continued success in all you do.. 😎
This was a little hard to watch seeing someone who knows he is going to start over at some point in the future. He's a great guy.
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.
WHAT HAVE I JUST WATCHED 😬 you guys bring so much joy to people, in the passion you bring to screen is just priceless! No doubt the motorcycle industry ( unless their stupid) will see the value Craig and yourself bring to the profession. It won’t be long before their come knocking at your door………. I just love the content here in the UK, my passion for the new breed in electric bikes has be fuelled partly down to you guys ! Keep up the good work , and keep making us all smile 👏🏽
I totally understand what you are saying. I'm a tattoo artist for 33 years and I finally got my own shop. My apprentice graduated then moved on. I couldn't find a honest artists to fill her spot (no perverted jokes lol ) and I had to close my shop. God's speed brother, he'll take care of ya. Thanks for the great video's and awesome information.
I am also a tattoo video and I relate to this, every shop that opens in my town closes shortly after because our community is still more or less against tattoos unfortunately
SRK cycles and bikesandbeads are the reason I got into motorcycles a year back. I live in India and have been following your work from almost the beginning, I bought the Vulcan S and the HD 1200 roadster after watching your videos and to be honest, you mean the world to me. I am truly and eagerly waiting for 2.0. Stay strong Sean and team. Love from India ❤️
If you bought those expensive bikes in india, your daddy must be a criminal.
@@phoenixfox3379 not everyone is poor dude
This brought back some very unpleasant memories for me. I really hate to see this happen to anyone. After 20 years of owning a successful marine electrical business I lost my biggest customer due to a down turn in the economy. It was really very hard to go back to a regular job even though the work was easier and less time consuming.
It's all written in the source code, you only have the illusion of choice, it's a digital UNIVERSE 🌌
@@ianmangham4570 It is a digital universe, but we do have free will and choice. I am a Starseed, and on many occasions I see or sense glimpses of the future, sometimes I even hear things people say clearly in my head 10 seconds before they say it. The point is, I have changed my timeline based on impressions of the future. If I am able to make a decision to avoid something that already exists, it means there are an infinite number of timelines. The NPC's or "Back Drop" people who are just programmed life forms, they are not in control of their thoughts or their life.
Lately I am telling people to become an electrician. You just get a $50 trainee card with the state. Then you begin working immediately and in 4 years you make $40 an hour base pay, plus $20 in insurance benefits, for about $60 an hour overall wages. Or you can be a "pipe fitter" and it's less dangerous, but you have to work with water pipes and welding and soldering and brazing. Or you can be a low voltage electrician which is easier, but pays a bit less, and it's a great career too. The trades give you a permanent career, after 4 years you get a license, and you can work anywhere.
@@Ritalie Do you take prescription medication?
I found the Bikes and Beards channel first and after a while the SRK cycle channel later. I watched several SRK videos (test ride). And then found this video. I am a 56 year old man that rode pre sport bikes and some sport bikes as a young man. I am interested in getting a bike as an older man so I have been researching as to the best bike to begin with. I am at a all time low in life right now and I need something to look forward to and achieve. I find it really awesome you include God's word in each video, as I am a believer. I find encouragement to continue my starting over process for the (I don't know how many times), in my life! Thanks!
It's all in Gods plan my friend, brighter things are on the horizon. I look forward to your next video. God Bless
You’re a good dude for sure. A great heart for motorcyclists and the pain they feel from dealerships.
Things I’ve heard in dealerships:
If you don’t buy someone else will
They don’t make a superglide
We didn’t warp your rotor
Why don’t you get rid of that thing and buy a new one
Best wishes for you and your team.
I remember the first time I saw a video of yours at that time I was looking for a motorcycle that is a Honda VTX 1300 and thanks to your videos and explanations that you gave I managed to buy my motorcycle I still have it I did not have the opportunity to get to buy it a motorcycle since I am from Mexico, but now that I have seen the other videos of how you have grown in your workshop, you have been a great inspiration for me. Greetings to all the team from Atempan, Puebla, Mexico
postscript sorry for English so bad I had to use google translator
I was literally tearing up at the end. I bought my first bike blasting through RUclips video bike reviews and the "Words of Wisdom" and your personalities kept me loyal to you. The very end turned it to tears it joy. The next venture is going to be incredibly. We serve a great Lord. You're going to reap 100 fold.
I'm glad you mentioned that training people how you wanted them to work in the sales dept isn't easy. I thought I got my dream job recently in Harley dealership in the UK. The place was owned by an umbrella company that wasn't rally into their bikes but who also owned a lot of car dealerships. Anyway, the training was a joke and I had to learn the FCA stuff with regulates the finance and all the procedures that go along with that. The position was rushed and all because other staff members were leaving. I wasn't happy and wasn't sleeping and ended up leaving only after 2 weeks. What should've been my dream job turned into a nightmare very quickly lol. Anyway, good luck for the future, you'll smash whatever you end up doing. Looking forward to more videos.
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!
I can totally relate, I'm in the process of selling my truck and go back to being a company driver for now. God will make things happen as long as you work for them.
Some people leaving a company to be an owner op.. is it hard to get parts?
@@ayliniemi It is, depending on the truck. Especially with the newer ones. I drive an older truck, and even I find myself driving over two hours away from home just to get parts quickly.
@@ayliniemi parts and also the price of fuel is getting ridiculous. Also the type of truck and it comes to a point where is not worth it to keep struggling.
Damn, just started watching the channe because I’m looking to get into motorcycle riding.
Even I got a bit emotional at the ending. Goodbyes are always difficult. We know you poured your heart into it.
Im glad you're still going to be making the videos.
Watching from Australia, and your advice led me to pull the trigger on a roadstar 1600. Awesome bike. Awesome advice.
I wish you and your family well in all your future endeavours.
My thoughts and prayers are with you that must of been hard mentally on you and the crew, all the best for the future. Owen from New 🇳🇿
Bottom line. He made enough money to take a break.
What a shock! I just became a fan, and now my most trusted source of information for this 71 year old who wants to get into this world for the very first time will be a shadow of its former self. What a sad, last scene! It reminds me of Michael Corleone at the end of Godfather II. Thanks for all you did, and how REFRESHING to uncover a business man with total integrity. In my experience, less than 1% of them deserve that designation. God Bless, and keep helping to make this world a better place.
I wish SRK was in LA… this year I bought a 2022 Honda Grom SP (MSRP $3499) I paid cash and was charged $5206 OTD. 2 months later I bought a 2022 Honda Navi (MSRP $1807) paid cash and was charged $3349 OTD.
This was at Del Amo Powersports in Redondo, CA and this was after I shopped all of the dealerships in a 100 mile radius. I was quoted the same prices (within about $120) at all of the dealerships.
I wish I could experience that “breath of fresh air” from an honest dealership that you spoke of.
Bought my first "legit" bike. A 06 Suzuki Boulevard C50t, from you guys back in June of 19. Wasn't really looking for a bike at that moment but I saw the bully on the website, took a ride out to take a look at it after work and that weekend went back and bought it. I didn't even realize you guys did RUclips videos until I got home and looked on RUclips LOL . Dealt with Caleb who was honestly the coolest guy ever. Never bought a motorcycle from a dealer of any sort before but Caleb explained the process and was all round awesome guy. I even came out from finishing the paperwork to find the bike already strapped down on my trailer and ready to go. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another motorcycle from you guys and wish you best with whatever your next move is!
Hey Sean, I started watching your channel with my 9 years old son for several months. It was on my feed and we both enjoyed your videos immensely since I am a single mom. We could bond over something that peaks his interest. I never drove a motorcycle and he wanted a dirt bike. I purchased one for him through Lowe's for Christmas this past year. Without videos like yours are entertaining but very educational in a lot of ways. Keep your head up and I am sure it will be better than ever the second time around.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write me this comment. It means so much to me. And I will continue making family friendly content for you and your boy to watch
It's very inspiring to watch videos about bikes and learning how to be safe,how to drive,how to take driver's test but most important...how to trust in God! The scriptures you put in your videos brother have a very dramatic effect in our lives and mean so much. There are not a lot of RUclipsrs who give God the glory but I sure am glad you do.Thank you for all your content, your faith and showing your dedication in loving God and your passion for bikes!!!! 🤗😁
I bought my Vaquero because of you. I watch your review and I was sold... true story I went to HD in Jacksonville NC. literally no one came up to me and spoke to me when I entered the store. they literally looked at and looked away.. and I had 25k to spend... I was looking up other options online and your review of the Vaquero had me stuck on that bike.. its been an awesome bike and I just wish I lived near you to purchase from you. I hope you open back up God Bless you...
Love watching your video...very honest and informative...
I like your vids and my buddy wanted to buy his first motorcycle and they treated him bad in Fresno at a Honda dealership and I saw your vids and told him there's a cool upstanding guy who sells bikes in Pennsylvania. I didn't know I was too late to find out that you stopped selling. I hope you get back into it someday bro, God bless.
Reasons most bikers and bike enthusiasts love Sean n SRK cycles team
Honest opinion
Words of wisdom
No filth talking
Treats customers as king
Often times God takes something from you to give you a better one
Want to see you Sean 2.0 with more interesting stuff 👍 keep up the good work so far will be waiting
God bless you 🙏 ❤✌
"Its not what your riding but where you're going"- Sean SRK cycles
one word to describe this man:
As Sadiq
@@fidelcatsro6948 I didn't understand
@@thejasdas479
Tzadik (Hebrew: צַדִּיק [tsaˈdik], "righteous [one]", also zadik, ṣaddîq or sadiq; pl. tzadikim [tsadiˈkim] צדיקים ṣadiqim) is a title in Judaism given to people considered righteous, such as biblical figures and later spiritual masters.
Sadik is an Arabic masculine given name. Originally a word in Arabic صديق which is translated as friend. The Arabic word for friend is derived from the root sdk صدق which often refers to honesty, sincerity, truth or loyalty. Variants of the name include Sadek, Sadiq, Siddiq, Siddique etc.
@@fidelcatsro6948 thank you yeah true 👍
WOW! so sad dude... Im here in the UK and your vids inspired me to buy my first Harley, a Road King Classic and it was delivered last week, will be on the road soon when the UK weather gets a bit warmer..you will bounce back Im sure and all us guys here will be still here for you. Ive loved you vids they inspired me to buy the Road King so thx a million for that. Keep Rockin my friend. Love from the UK
Sean, you are the man! The ending actually made me cry a little, lol. I genuinely can't wait to see what you have coming up next. I wish the absolute best of luck and I just want to say that I love you brother, you're one of the best.
Ok, so I saw one comment that really hit the mark with me, from Moto Mike. Essentially it said that these things happen and that you are a great ambassador for the business and an incredible guy.
So, here's the thing. Moto Mike had it right! Spot on! ... You have a way of talking and relating to things which is very rare. I truly (and many-many others) love your critiques and reviews and your approach to sharing the good and bad of a motorcycle.
Business is really tough. You already know what went wrong and you know what to do or, you know how to fix it. You probably don't want to be as tough as you have to be but, that's what you'll have to do! You are truly a great ambassador for the business. Just do it!
I, like Moto Mike, will continue watching wherever you end up.
Meanwhile, I need a good used Goldwing. Got anything?
QUESTION: How do I get the best deal when wanting to buy a used Versys 300? Look on auto trader / bike trader, or look on eBay, or go to a dealer, or Craig's list.... how can I find the bike that I want at low price and in good condition and in a way that I am not concerned about getting ripped off, hidden damage / mechanical problems? I know that people have bought this bike new... out the door $5k total.... so if the bike is say 2019 making it 4 years old, what price range would be considered a good deal for me to buy it used? People always ask a lot, but what is a real used selling price for a Versys 300 that is $5k new and now is 4 years old, with average Miles of usage?? Please... any assistance is appreciated. THANKS
Youre the man. Hope to see you back in the game soon. Or doing what you want. Youre videos are the best bike videos out there, BAR NONE!!!!
From one dealer to another this hit deep ❤
I just discovered your channel a week ago and watching your shop empty now. I give your channel 10 out of 10. I never give a 10 thank you
Just stumbled onto bikes and beards channel with the old 2cycle trail bike of Ed's. Absolutely LOVE you giving praises to God. Subscribed after you read a Bible verse. Trust in Him with your videos and bike business. He will be there for you. God Bless your efforts! Corey Claude
Sean and the entire SRK Cycle crew now and before, you guys have always kept it real and I am definitely looking forward to SRK 2.0 - keep up the Awesome-Amazing-Crazy content... Ride safe my friends! God's got you!
dude now you have the time to put into this channel you can get test product reviews etc etc and you'll be killing it
Good luck with everything buddy. God always has his children's backs. It's just a little intermission to the next great chapter
Yes He does
After watching all your videos, I am interested in getting into motorcycles again. Have not rode one in 45 years but ready to jump back in.
I never bought a bike from you, but I enjoy your ch. I found your ch. while I was looking for a older bike. I ended up buying a 82 Suzuki GS 750, I'm more than Happy with it....Quick enough, Fast enough, & Smooooth.....I wish you the Best
I feel you in the hiring part. I have spent months training managers the way I want them just for them to quit within 6 months of hiring. It's very disappointing.
Also the lady with the 11,000 mile Harley. I would have never bought it back. Maybe with it discounted enough where I can fix it and resell. Alot can happen in 11,000 miles and if it made it that far out if my hands then it was a good deal. She probably never changed the oil or drove the crap of of it.
You shut down your whole business because 2 salesmen moved on? Did I hear that correctly?
I had to sell my trucking company back in march hurts but it’s definitely a learning experience. God bless. Greater things are coming.
Srk got me into motorcycles. A few month later got my first bike from one of your videos (C90). Thanks 4 that and god bless you.
I believe your channel blewup. And the fact that some of your help left gave you a good excuse to get rid of overhead and just sell content. Yeah maybe a bike here and there but mainly content. Cheers
Well, I am just finding out about your operation. I am playing catch-up now, trying to watch all of your videos (really enjoying the WLA project). @Bikes and Beards
Being a man of his word is very important. If a man has no word, he has nothing. Keep on that path, Sean.
I do not need to wish you luck, because people like you will SURELY succeed!
I am loving the good craic in the shop. That has a big impact on your path to success.
Once I am back in the States, I will pay you a visit. If I may, of course.
Cheers!

Used bikes are a gamble and sold as is, just like used cars. If someone puts 11,000 miles on their bike and it has a failure its not your fault and you should not buy it back. You can’t sustain business like that. You offer your customers a warranty and if they turn it down let them know the bike is as is. Encourage them to have an independent mechanic check it out.
Nice honest video.. I opened a BMW repair shop on the side part time. I had it for 2 years. It did really well. I was on Nexdoor and was always 3 weeks out. It actually affected my main job. Everyone told me my prices were really good. I would not charge for diagnosing their car if it took 1 hr. It was up to me to find other things wrong with the car to make more money. I realized I was doing it more for the fun not the money as much. I thought about opening my own shop up. But I had to be honest. I could not nickel and dime everyone like most auto repair shops. I would even pick up and deliver within a 2 mile range. I have a lot of friends who own businesses and live and breath them. I am happy at 47. I go to work as a mechanic and come home to my wife and kids. I work some overtime. But I am not about work anymore..
Work to live, not live to work. Found that after probably 20 into my own business..
I just recently started watching your videos. I hope you bounce back stronger than before. Will continue to watch and enjoy the content.
I wish I got to enjoy all these videos when they were new. Such a good group of people and the videos are just awesome and so relatable. Hope all is well.
I've never ridden a real motorcycle but my brother use to ride me on his all the time when I was a child. Anyway, I've learned so much watching your channel. I was even planning a trip to SRK since I don't live far from you. I miss your videos so much!!! I hope to buy my first bike from you one day.
Take care guys and thank you!
Little Brother, I had an electronics and appliance repair shop. My Dad went downhill swiftly. I couldn't keep the shop and see to it that he got to appointments. So I shut the shop down then when Dad died I joined the American Legion Riders and the Patriot Guard and looked after our dead vets. God will come and get you started on something again.
i'm new to the motorcycle world recently just bought my first bike.. i watched countless numbers of your videos over the past two months on the srk cycles channel and even looked at your inventory before making my first bike purchase not knowing what i truly wanted until watching a bunch of them and ended up with something completely different than what i thought i wanted.. Best of luck on 2.0
Happy to hear that the channel is still running :-)
I will miss you on here. I truly wish you & your family well. I didn't know about your web site and store when I bought my bike, 2017 GSX-R1000R, would have at least had a serious look. I will be watching for you. God Bless.
Sean, 2003 Roadking world's cheapest Roadking still running strong. Thanks for signature autograph 👍👍👍
Initiate 2.0! Glad because I really enjoy your videos brother! And the words of wisdom from the good book before the ride is a nice touch. Blessings to you and your family!
Love your videos and best of luck with 2.0 !
Dang Shawn I hope you get back to selling bikes soon! I bought a Road Star from you guys a few years back, drove from Columbus, Ohio to pick it up and I’m going to be looking for a Gold Wing very soon! I’m hoping to be able to buy one from you guys as I truly love the way you do business!!
God had something better in store for you. Everything happens for a reason. Your a smart business man and someone with principles. You’ll do well in the future. You ever think you’d see 880k + views on this video ? Your viewers and future buyers will pull you up again. Stay positive !! Launch 2.0 !!
