Hi all

I have been on Tribe for a few months but only just joined this group. A month ago I found out I am symptomatic with Huntington's Disease (it's a genetic neurological degenerative disorder) and while I had had a genetic test 8 years ago and knew I would eventually get it, I was hoping to at least make it to my 40th - next week :(

The symptoms are mild at the moment thankfully athough noticable to me of course but I haev had to give up my motorbike because of my bad balance. It's still in garage cos I can't bring myself to sell it. Trying to do all the right things att he moment but it is one thing to think you might be symptomatic and quite anoteh r to b etold officially.

sorry typing sux today

    Hi, I read about your bad balance causing you to give up riding your motorcycle. You may be interested in getting the Piaggio mp3, read more about it here:
    www.vespaway.com/2006/05/l...ward_.html

    it is a 3 wheel trike with a pair of wheels in the front which tilt allowing you to lean into corners, yet are far enough apart to allow a greater margin of error when cornering. They will also keep the bike upright when you are at a stop (so I have heard). I hope that this helps you.

    -Michael
