Emergency bonnet release

The bonnet hinges at the front so the faster you are going the more the wind pressure is keeping it shut. I suspose if you could do 20mph or more in reverse then maybe it would blow open!

I had to drive mine without a bonnet catch for a while - the bonnet lifted until it was about level with the windscreen at 40-ish going forward. I didn't try it in reverse.

Hi Pete, was that the bottom of the windscreen or the top!

That’s surprising and worrying! Strange airflow. Maybe the Triumph design engineers knew best.
