Soooo…sadly, the FEBRUARY FINALE is just that…with my final day before packing away and rolling out the HY van being the 25th Feb.
This wasn’t in my plans for 2025 but as John Lennon famously said…’life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans’.
It’s been a mostly fun rollercoaster ride, and that’s what it is…anyone who has taken the leap of faith into self employment and independent business ownership will know. Highs…lows…everything in between.
It’s just under 3 years since I gave up a regular income to go it alone and begin a dream I’d had for years…and with what was a big gamble. And it has been very, very special. Of course, things didn’t turn out quite like as imagined or planned. But it surpassed all my expectations and hopes. With the initial help of Kev of Kevils Speed Shop sub-letting the space aside the custom motorcycle garage and converting a HY van in preparation for the dream Rocket Espresso coffee machine (whilst I piled a frightful percentage of my savings into it). I often thought to myself, ‘if ten year old me could see me now’…surrounded by (half) of my cherished collection of cruiser by bikes, custom motorcycles, my tunes, doggos, classic cars stopping by the vibrantly graffitied garage unit and lovely people showing their support and encouragement and trusting my rekindled my admittedly basic barista skills for their caffeine fix. But it built beautifully…
Anyways…’all good things come to an end’, as someone else must’ve quoted once. And I’d like to add, I’m not having to leave as a result of financial or mis-management issues…
There will be activity continuing on my socials including the ride outs, sea dips, car meets, charity events and the launch of a new, just for fun Custom Coffee RC car club, cos I’m not going to grow up anytime soon, am I?…
THANK YOU so much to all that have supported, helped and encouraged in every way you have with what has undoubtedly been one of the best and biggest decisions / gambles / leaps of faith and im proud to say, successes of my life to date 🤍
I will miss it a lot 🤍
