Our Story & Mission
Godfather Motorbike Extraordinaire
About Jimmy Neal
Real estate expert, successful entrepreneur, community organizer, and doting father. These are a few of the many portrayals of Jimmy Dean Neal who is the owner and founder of the popular community business, Godfather Motorbike Extraordinaire (GME). The business took root as Mr. Neal wanted to have a positive approach to expressing his life long dream – giving opportunities to those looking for a chance at education and living a successful life.
Creating GME was the method in which people from diverse backgrounds, religious creeds and economic status would come together and find common ground through his idea of a super-hero motor bike – “Godfather Motorbike Extraordinaire”. The creative design for the motorbike was created by Jimmy D. Neal. The wings on the handlebars signifies, an angel who protects and looks after us all. The writing inside the “G” is significant because it reads –“for the greater good” adopted here to mean for the benefit of the public, of more people than oneself. It also means to work hard and to be willing to make sacrifices in order to become successful. Such is the example that Mr. Neal has set in motion. He lives by the biblical verse, “All things are possible if you believe”.
He has successfully motivated hundreds of people to reach their dreams through this positive motivation; and he has been a recipient and a living example of practicing this verse.
What We Do:
GME partners with professional sports teams, businesses, educators, and communities of faith to support, encourage, and inspire young people to pursue their dreams, achieve their goals, and create meaningful and happy lives. We also provide educational and job opportunities.
Our first book, “Fables of the Godfather Motorbike Extraordinaire” was created to give people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and localities an opportunity for self-expression.
