    Well dear Nige, we are very sorry to hear and see how your shoulder is getting painful again! 😔. This seems not a successful surgery? Hope your getting well soon.
    Yes, that video from Duncan was awesome, we loved it.
    Take your rest with that shoulder, step by step…

    Tojj, came across your channel a while ago, and now I see your bike popped up for sale. As a fellow Versys rider and having had two shoulder surgeries, just wanted to say don't flog your bike in haste. Shoulders take ages to fix....but they do fix. Would be a shame to lose your fantastic bike only to find you're fit again and regret it In a few months. Give it a bit more time fella....looking forward to getting back on it is a decent goal. Remember.....shoulders fix but not fast. Best wishes from the north 👍

      @@PAUL-yv2kk Hi mate, that's the 3rd op on my shoulders now 🤣
      It hasn't repaired as well as expected yet, but the left one needed two goes to fix it. I'm not having another op on the right side though.
      The plan was to sell the big V anyway, as I'm probably gonna go back to a BMW again. I want a shaft drive again. We'll see if it sells first, not gonna give it away that's for sure.

      @tojj29 All part of the plan then, so not too bad. Take it easy with the shoulders, they'll probably bounce back, but mine was a solid 6-9 months to anywhere near normal. Incidentally, the riding position on the Versys is the most aggravating for what I had (impingement syndrome) palm down, arms outstretched and raised to the front. Keep up the physio and treat em gently, hopefully they'll come good 👍

    I was so happy for you in the beginning when you said your recovery was going well, if not slightly shocked that you are pushing it quite hard so soon. Still now you realise it's going to take a more gentle approach. I can't comment England's performance as I don't even watch Scotland since they started taking the knee. I have to say though I've for a long time been of the opinion that England always get a bye to at least the semi finals, whilst Scotland seems to always get a fairly tough draw. Rest a while longer buddy and ease yourself back, you can always video your live commentary on the final, I'm sure it'll be much more interesting than the TV pundits like Gary Slimy knickers 😂

    Shoulder injuries suck, I get a lot of issues with my right shoulder too... thankfully not enough to stop me riding, but it does reduce my mileage I can do without pain relief.... and cruise control is a huge blessing too. Are you able to adjust the bar angle to suit you better maybe? I find the high and wide bars on my Tuareg are harder to deal with than the lower narrower ones on my GSX 8S, even the XSR900 GP with it's clip-on bars are easier than the Tuareg, although not perfect for it.
    I also try and dose up on paracetomol the day before and during a long trip, it works better if it builds, I wonder if you could try that to help manage the pain?

    Must be very frustrating Nige, and I Sincerly hope it improves, but it's telling you you need a bit more time taking it easy. I would be swearing also if under the same conditions for sure. Would be interesting to know that if you were just sitting on the bike without moving for 5 -10 mins in riding position would it be the same, might be when you accelerate the shoulder moves. Wish I had some good advice to help. Take it easy. Cheers
