    What a Feckin shitty shitty year :mad:
    Have made the decision to pull the plug on my Tiger GT Pro:sob:
    This is mainly down to not knowing how long it’s gonna take to get my shoulders sorted :confused:
    With everything that’s going on with this Covid-19 shit show I don’t want a brand new bike sitting in my garage not knowing when I’ll be able to ride it :confused:
    The sensible thing to do is get my money back into my bank and wait until I’m in a better position physically :)
    Financially I should still be able to get something at a later date but as I’m soon to be loosing my job I thought I’d better play it safe in case 2020 has anymore Feckin nasty surprises :mad:
    No biking for me for a while :sob:

    ah man. sorry bud.
    A shitty but wholly sensible decision i'm afraid and i'm sure the same we'd probably all make.
    It'll come back.

    It'll all be sorted out in time, dilli. As my old football coach used to say, "take what you have and do what you can" -you may apply that in many ways, my friend.:p

    Edit: This quote as well just came up in a timely manner; "perseverance finds the good in the worst of circumstances". That has helped me a LOT over the past year and a half.

    If life kicks you in the balls, Dilli, go down screaming and whimpering whilst clutching the aforementioned spheres in agony:eek:, 'cos if you try to stay upright and look tough, life will most certainly kick you in the balls again:scream: if only to try to teach you a lesson!:(
    You will return stronger ..... I've decided!!:grinning:

    What's going on with your shoulder, Dilligaf? Are you having an ortho doc look at it? I was lucky enough to have a doctor friend of mine do an ultrasound on mine about a year and a half ago. He could see the tears and fluid buildup here and there, and guessed my pain would go away in time with or without PT. Luckily, it worked out for me. That same doctor friend of mine messed his shoulder up a bit more than me. I saw him just the other day and he is still dealing with chronic pain. One thing is for sure, the shoulder joint is one complex, fucked up piece of engineering. It's amazing that it works at all.
