I'm Wolf, 42 years old and I trained and work as a forensic pathologist.
I'm a RBE since 4/2008 due to a spreading mixed soft tissue tumor whose nodules were repeatedly removed over several operations (but kept coming back). Since then nothing has come back :-)
I wear a body powered arm, currently with a "self constructed" wrist (in fact the colleagues that helped build it work as toolsmiths / mold builders that also manufacture for the medical industry) and my favorite terminal device being a Becker Lock Grip hand.

Hello Wolf. Bluedogz is another guy into motorbikes using less than the usual number of arms. He started a thread called 'Here's the idea...' on Sports, so I am sure you will be able to swap ideas with him. (I'm a non-motorised cyclist, but I wouldn't want to do that with less than two hands on the handlebars...) Allen, bka, London. PS I bet we can find a use for forensic pathology, too, as we have really diverse backgrounds and problems

PS I bet we can find a use for forensic pathology, too, as we have really diverse backgrounds and problems Yes I may have chosen the wrong word (forgive me, English is not my native language) ... my bicycle is non-motorised, a push-bike (Australia), a velociped. Forensic pathology here does contain clinical forensic medicine including driving under the influence, bodily injury, rape, domestic violence and more. We get to see quite a bit of our town, as we go out to *all* death scenes of unascertained or violent deaths. The majority of our work covers living people so it is also a rather diverse field. As I worked in Melbourne at the VIFM for a year, I know there is also a difference between an adversary system (which is what you all have) and an investigatory system (we have that). Obviously, homicides and suicides are rather similarly defined - but overall, this work here may not translate 'directly' to a UK or American profession where coronial or medical examiner systems prevail.

I have ridden a bicycle/velociped in the past, but only two-handed. I'm still working on the motorbike conversion. I need a better test sled, and money is tight.
