Motorcycle Sherpa

We're here today with Bear from motorcycle, Sherpa Bear. Tell us about what you got going on for these people that are here. So I've been doing this for eight years now. Um You know, started out as a passion project. Um I love motorcycles of all kinds and I want to do an adventure travel company. And you know, 10 years ago people said you can't market adventure to chopper guys and here we are, everybody loves adventure, right? So uh we do Mongolia, Bhutan, India and Nepal. Nepal being my signature. Um We've taken all kinds of a listers from the industry. I hate to be a name dropper but everyone from Bill from Bewell Tyler from Lowbrow, the moment tribe guys are coming this year. Uh Bobby from Indian Larry motorcycles, Paul from bare knuckle Darren. I mean the list goes on of, of, of a list or motorcycle guys that have traveled with me and I take personal pride in the fact that those guys have chose to come with my company is because I do things a little bit differently. Organized tours are not for everybody and I try to make them as much adventure as possible and as much least work as possible. I've been falling, looking at the pictures I've been hearing about. Everybody loves it. I'm excited to do it myself here. I'm finding my line up with my spring break maybe from school. And, uh, I'll tell you what the stuff you guys do and the, and the pictures you got and the memories you're making. Like people here, everybody should, should, should come over and talk to you and check this out because it is, it's an adventure of a lifetime. You know, we only live once and life goes fast and adventure like this is gonna be something that you're gonna, you're gonna always remember. It's gonna be in your memory for, for the rest of your life. I like to say, forget your bucket list. That's the list of things you're never gonna do. Like forget your bucket list live. Now we offer financing. So one of my biggest goals in this was making it accessible to the working man, right? Trips like I do generally are 8 to $10,000. My trip start at $4700 and I'm not trying to put a sales pitch here, but my heart's in this. I have other businesses. I run White Knuckle brand. I found an old bike card. I do this because I love it. And I want the average guy to be able to come on these trips. So, you know, we guys got guys that work in coal mines coming on these trips, not executives, doctors and lawyers. They're welcome as well. But I wanted the blue collar guy to be able to come out there and do like, you know, an existential trip that is mind boggling. That means a lot. Especially a guy like me who's a school teacher. You know, it's like, man, when I go to do something, if it's too expensive as much as I want to, I just can't, I can't financially make it happen. So when we're on a trip like this, do I have to bring my own bike? Ship it out or how do you do it? We've got our own fleet of bikes over there getting a bike the other side of the world. First of all would be logistically difficult but then tearing and duties and everything we handle all that. We have our own fleet of motorcycles are maintained. We don't rent them out to other folks or for our trips only. And that makes a big difference in the quality of the bike you're going to be riding. But also just logistically it would be unfeasible to bring your own bike. But that's awesome, man, that was one thing I thought about, you know, you just nail it that $4800 price is everything, food, fuel, lodging, mechanics, chase trucks, the whole nine yards. Like the only thing we don't cover airfare and alcohol, everything else is all in and it makes a huge difference in terms of the team that we have with us having mechanics and a chase truck. I have two chase riders. Your bike breaks, you get a flat tire, one of my guys at the back pulls up, hands you a running motorcycle. You carry on with your day, not staying on the side of the road for four hours while something gets fixed. That's a win win. I'm excited. I want to go now let's get out of here. So motorcycle sherpa.com, you got all your info on there. People can hit you up. Yeah, all of our dates through 2026 are up there. I appreciate you. Bear. It's amazing. Good to see you.
