Lehman Trikes is proud to announce that the 2008 Good Turn Trike was presented to Jon Brough at Niehaus Cycle in Litchfield, Illinois on August 23, 2008. Earlier in the summer, Jon was selected as the recipient of Lehman Trikes' 2008 Good Turn Trike. Jon had been a policeman in Belleville, IL for 22 years when he was shot in the face while he and a group of fellow officers were attempting to arrest a murder suspect. Jon has been recognized and honored for his work as a policeman by national, state, regional and local law enforcement organizations. He has also been lauded for his outstanding community service work with organizations such as D.A.R.E and little league baseball.
Jon and his wife Wendy were motorcyclists long before his injury and often enjoyed going on motorcycle rides with fellow members of the Blue Knights. After Jon's injury, Wendy discontinued her 25 year career as a nurse to take care of Jon. For over 22 years, the couple has enjoyed a loving and caring relationship, which is evident by their words and actions. Since his injury, Jon has maintained his tremendous sense of humor and even makes jokes about Wendy being in the driver's seat of their new trike.
After the presentation, Jon was whisked away on the back of his new Monarch II trike arms raised in the air, sun and wind in his face, aglow with joy and happiness. Jon loudly and excitedly exclaimed, "I'm really livin' again!" The trike kit was installed by Niehaus Cycle on a brand new 2008 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing, funds for which were raised by members of the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, Illinois Chapter 14. Jon told a Lehman Trike representative and Blue Knights members at the presentation, "I can't thank everyone enough who has helped make this possible. I just hope that sometime down the line, I can help someone else like you have helped me."
Ken Hines, Executive Vice-President stated upon making the presentation, "It is a real pleasure to help get someone like Jon back on the road. Jon is a success on so many levels. He possesses remarkable self-worth, daily he exhibits tremendous courage, humility, and strength of character. He marches to the beat of his own happy drum. Jon invariably seems to give back more than he is given. It is indeed a pleasure to help someone of Jon's caliber who is so inspirational to others."
