"Live to ride and ride to live" is a common phrase among motorcyclists', but it is more than that for one young man living in Colorado. Dan Lehman, who tragically lost part of his leg in a motorcycle accident in 2010, plans on riding in this Sunday's Sandhill Poker Run. If the weather is just right, he will join lots of other riders in this journey through Fort Morgan, Colorado.
In May 2010, Lehman had just picked up his bike from the repair shop and on his way home, when another motorcyclist under the influence of alcohol crossed into his lane and hit him. Lehman lost part of his left leg in that accident and it would heal correctly which led to more surgeries and rehabilitation. He finally made one of the hardest decisions of his life, to amputate his left legt above the knee. The motorcyclist who hit Lehman has been sentenced to three years in prison, as featured in The Fort Morgan Times.
Lehman has been looking forward to this upcoming ride since May 21, 2010, when the accident changed his life forever. He states, "I've got a lot of drive, and I wasn't going to let this hold me back."
