He may have an 09 - 10 which came with the 32 tooth and were dogs in 6th gear below 75 mph on flat ground and 80+ mph going up hills. The 1st year I had my 10 I down shifted on almost every hill riding I71 & I65 through KY on the way to Nashville with the wife. Following years after swapping the 32 tooth for a 30 tooth, cam and tuning I never down shifted once on the same roads.

 

I've always known that it is possible to get the front wheels up into the breeze on a
TG but have refrained from doing so. Not wanting that possible expense of a belt replacement. I was in a dealership in So Cal and one of the service managers was bragging about popping a wheelie on a customer's Trike. He's very fortunate that he never did it in mine. Awesome pics, by the way.

 

Yeah, I might not find them so much fun if I snap a belt.

btw, how do you know they did not wheelie your TG?

 

Kevin after reading this I tried the roll on with mine and was surprised to be able to get the wheel up..Good Job!!

 

Your right, after all what happens in the dealers service dept stays in the dealers service dept.

 

Good question, DK. But after him telling me that, I asked him to please not do it on my TG. At any rate, your guess is as good as mine

 

think doing this is just foolish. if you want to play like that just get a have fun bike.. that dosnt cost 35 grand.

 

Thanks for the post and the pics. Looks like a lot of fun just don't think I will be trying it. Last wheelie I remember doing was on a 350 Kawasaki 45 years ago. It wasn't mine which is why I guess I didn't mind doing them?

 

I see your point...but all my bikes are have fun bikes...otherwise I would not have/keep them.

At 55, and having nearly died 3 years ago from a rogue cager t-boning me on the interstate, I have a new perspective.
