I always thought the point of a motorcycle was to get away from the confinement of cars??
Maybe it could be used like a tow truck, but arent tow trucks meant for that?

The idea is that the motorcycle can lane spit through a 15 mile long traffic jam a lot faster than a tow truck can.

Therefore, he can clear the traffic jam a lot faster than the tow truck can.


Usually the tow trucks run along the shoulders though; the real killer is the cops who have to run through an investigation and the paramedics who have to scrap the humanaise off of the asphalt.

thats what I thought Begle1 get through the idiot traffic jams on the freeway and get the object the idiots keep staring at out of sight so its out of mind and they can get moving

jaconst

yeah Begle is the 405 ever not jammed everytime Ive been on it as well as the 580 up here

Man, there must be some really hefty brakes on that bike. Heaven forbid he'd have to stop quickly while towing. ACK!

Hmm. Wear on the motorcycle clutch. Motorcycle brakes and tires trying to stop a car on a tow dolly rolling down a hill behind you.

I think that I'll wait till Shovelhead buys one and reports back on it.
