I closed my shop late December as a net result of parts scarcity, rising rent and service charge. Being an owner/tech was fantastic and have no regrets spending the past 10 years building a great shop but earning a good living became problematic towards the end.
Now I am moving into off shore windfarm tech where the money is good and only work 6 months of the year the other 6 months will be ride, fix some bikes no doubt and drink beer.
