Indonesia Tri Glide

[Skeet7373]

Thought ya'll may get a kick out of this. If it needs to be moved to another forum, go ahead. I have friended on Facebook a TG rider in Indonesia. They love their trikes, Harleys and Victory MC's. I'll try to post the video of this guy going thru a course at a New Spirit 2015 HD Rodeo.

I'll lift a wheel on the TG periodically, but never have that high. Nor do I want to.

I could not get the video link...is this something they do regularly, with no problems?

Re: Indonesia Tri Glide UPDATE WITH VIDEO

It looks like to me he gets it into a turn then gives it alot of front only brake and a little steering in put. Touch the rear brake and it comes right down.

I've never got mine that high or tried to yet, but it's not high speed that gets it up on 2 wheels, it's easy to do at lower speed, no braking needed, just steering input.

I slowed the video down and could not see his hand on the brake lever.ThumbUp

I am right there with you. Why subject the rear suspension of your TG to that weight crashing down. I may be an old fuddy duddy but it would be my wallet having to replace that broken rear end. Wonder what that might cost? or having to repaint /replace fiaring/gas tank/fender/tour pack?

Or maybe he is just that damn good a rider.

I am not so I'll be

'What is the purpose" = it's fun, it teaches bike control, it will scare some people, it's fun!!!
"why would anyone want to do this???" = it's fun, it teaches bike control, it will scare some people, it's really is a LOT of FUN!!! epper::wave4:
********************************************
Steve on 3, please see above and in the times I have done this, not quite this high yet, I have never had the TG crash down, it has always landed back on 3 smoothly & softly. I have never heard any noise going up or coming down, it didn't even move the junk around in the trunk or the tour-pak.
It really is a LOT of FUN, but each to their own. :wave4:

For what I am paying for this ride, if I want to do stunts----and I don't----I'll buy a 2 wheeler. And I have honestly never had a ride that looked so fine. No way I will abuse it on purpose.

Hey, I am a firm believer in " if you make the payments, you are the boss". I agree it would be fun except I have this blood disease. The iron in my blood turned to lead and ran to my big butt and settled. With my luck just as soon as I got it up on two like that, something would happen and it would end up on top of me. you don't understand. If Dolly Parton was my momma, I'd have been a bottle fed baby. I got that kind of luck. But I will appreciate the fact you can do it. Just not for me.
