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.

peejay4A Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I guess it depends upon the severity of the impact. I still don’t buy it as a safety device. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stillp Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 The top! Made visibility a bit tricky. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisR-4A Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) That’s surprising and worrying! Strange airflow. Maybe the Triumph design engineers knew best. Chris Edited December 7, 2019 by ChrisR-4A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
