Why

Why do we think we need diesel trucks when it would be easy to incorporate a gooseneck hitch on one of these.

ha ya, i never thought about the wind factor... there is a reason we big trucks... ha ha. another thing would be braking... brakes on bikes are meant to stop a bike... not a car...

You would be suprised what those bikes will tow. 1800 cc engine. 120 HP. Over 100 Ft pounds torque and with ABS they will stop very quick. But with that said, I dont think you will catch me trying to tow a car with mine.

My tow rig.

Cool, where is your friend from? I know folks from all over the US and Canada that ride wings. I was planning another trip to Alaska on the bike this year but the wife decided she rather build a new house so looks like no more Alaska for me for a couple years. Sigh....
