A comeback story…
Five years ago a catastrophic crash left me badly broken, paralyzed on my left side and financially wiped out on every level a mountain of unpaid medical bills.
Left with no future, I made a decision… I would walk again. I would work again. And I would ride again.
Over the course of five years I attacked my body daily and learned to walk again. Having lost everything I own including my marriage and my company, I still refused to go on Disability and was going to fight my way back financially. I nearly starved for several years but I finally got back in business.
The final stage was to RIDE AGAIN and it seemed yet a distant Final Phase.
I had my eye on a particular color street glide special, year 2018. One day my DREAM BIKE crossed my path and I wasn’t really prepared but the first thing I did was call Josh Farmer at American Motorcycle Trading Company in Bedford Texas, just outside of Dallas.
Through Josh I learned that this company picks up virtually unridden bikes before they go to auction and bring them to this beautiful huge retail location.
I filled Josh in on what I was looking at and he steered me away from that particular deal because it was way overpriced and while we were on the phone he found two other bikes, same bike for much better deals. I said to him, “Josh, I appreciate your help with this but why are you helping somebody else sell me a bike? “
He said “I’d love to sell you this bike. I know how important it is to you but we simply don’t have one and I want you to have this bike. One could come rolling up here any day because we get 6 to 7 bikes a day but right now we don’t have one I want you to have that bike.”
I think we both knew that that was highly unlikely…
The end of the story is that the very next day the exact bike rolled up into American motorcycle trading Company on a flatbed and I got an instant text and a photograph, “I got one!”
I ran into financing issues to be able to land this dream bike to complete Phase 3 but it was Josh Farmer who worked miracles and got it done. I am forever indebted t to this man for helping me seal a fate that was never supposed to be mine.
Comeback complete! Thank you Josh!
I highly highly recommend Josh and American Motorcycle Trading Co. The floor has pristine Harley Davidson’s as far as the eye could see!
