Motorcyclist Continues Riding after Losing his Left Hand

I just saw an article in Ultimate Motorcycling about a motorcyclist who lost his left hand. This new handicap did not stop the rider. We all want to ride and no matter what happens to a rider, the will to continue riding is very strong. Here's an excerpt from the article:

But what happens when something catastrophic happens in your life to prevent you from getting that sweet rush of joy and excitement from riding a motorcycle?
