Apparently it means "Touring Edition" or "Travel Edition"

Cheers for that. Wondering if it refers to the ESA. Don't know if some come without it. Not much else that I can see.

Engine and transmission oils, spark plugs and air filter change, along with fitting the Chinese ‘innov’ camera 👍

If you’re OCD then note that the slightly more expensive anodised gold one isn’t the same shade as the Brembo’s or the forks.

The only i fitted for a mate was black with anodized black bolts and spacers. A quick look and you wouldn't have known it was there, as he found when he tried to ride off. Lucky he caught the bike before it went over. He never did that again.

3 shades of gold then Steve :shock: , looks a nice tidy clean job and saves carrying a seperate discs lock. Presumably there’s zero chance of the lock engaging whilst riding ?.

Absolutely no chance at all Martin. The pin that physically locks the disc is actually a separate piece of hardened steel that you insert through the Roadlok into a hole in the disc. This can only be done when stationary. I keep the pin in the fairly useless glove box.

Haven't bought or gone to a pub for a drink for years. Way too dear. Give me a fizzy drink or a cuppa over a beer any day.

Funny how life throws curve balls at us.Before me accident in 2022,I'd be in the pub every Saturday/Sunday lunch time and would usually have a good session(no mid week drinking cos of the job)Take away for me dinner and just a lazy bastard.Now go to the gym 5 times a week(mostly)hardly drink(agreed,bloody expensive now)very rarely get a takeaway(again,expensive now)watch what I eat a lot more(although I do like me grub)Lost 6 stone since but now at a point of plateau(could really lose another 3 stone,yes I was a fat fecker)I'll keep plugging away at it :mrgreen:

Intended to meet a mate at his home, but after 5 minutes, I turned back. So windy between the fields that i had my knee down going straight. I grounded my left side toe on the tarmac; it was that windy. The weather doesn't bother much, rain, sleet, or snow, but this was silly.
The boss came back from shopping and swore the car lifted on one side in the same place
