Someone sent this video link to me, it's pretty cool. Not sure if I'd want to tow a heavy car with a bike, but it's pretty damn cool from an engineering standpoint.

One more problem with that...what if you're towing merrily along & someone pulls in front of you, creating a panic stop? I'm thinkin' Goldthing sandwich...ouch! :icon_smile_blackeye:

Kinda cool though. I bet that bike's been through a few clutches. ;D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Very cool.

I too however would be more concerned about stopping rather than getting it rolling :)

looks good . as long as you keep the bikes speed low
I won't be wronged, I wont be Insulted and I wont be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

that's a very nifty idea.
when racing deals fall apart.....you go home, like me.

I ride a Valkyrie and would never consider doing that.  It is the brakes I would be concerned about.  There is plenty of power to pull just not enough brakes to stop if you need to quick with that kind of weight behind you.

Maybe the trailer part has electric brakes?

Great idea fro getting to a stuck car in a traffic jam.......

Electric brakes on the trailer and you should be ok getting it stopped. Very cool from the engineering standpoint!
