I learned the second day I had my III that a quick downshift with a bit too much throttle will quickly bring the front end up much higher than you were planning
What the video doesn't show is he immediately rode the wheelie to the nearest Triumph dealer knowing when the front wheel hit the ground the forks and suspension were going to explode. (The hard part was holding the wheelie at red lights)
The video of the wheelie in the street doesn't show if the rider completed the action without a crash at the end of it. Would have been nice to have been able to see the full manoeuvre. Must admit, it was a brave (or crazy?) attempt when you consider the narrowness of the street + the additional width of panniers.
I can wheelie my old Roadster easily but I have not had the front wheel of the TFC off the ground. It feels like there is some sort of ECU control preventing it?
