I just saw this post now, or I would not have posted my above one.
Prepping bikes for overland in the USA could be a tough go. Dunno. Although it appears to be a healthy and fast growing segment, but not like the UK.
Specialty shops have been successful in Harley World for years. Nowadays my guess most are ready to close their doors. Once things come back (who knows when?) this type of business could be a winner.
I would pursue this idea nonetheless. But personal experience really adds to credibility. Grant has HU meeting where you can meet the big players in this world. None of them have set up a prep business, so the door is still open. Most are living by doing books, movies, presentations and leading
expeditions. A prep business would be a good way to go.
Go for it!
