    I used a similar system to tow my bike from California to Illinois. Removed the chain and hit the road. Only difference was was the carrier was fastened directly to the hitch, and the bike had to be lifted up to the carrier. Worked well, as long as you have a good hitch, and don't even try and back it up. You need a cat two hitch for a small bike and cat three for a larger bike, to handle the tongue weight.

It's not like here in Houston where someone will buy two houses that are next door to each other so that they can bulldoze both of them down and build one large house... They actually *want* to keep their old stuff around... Then again, if it wasn't for all that old stuff, why would anyone visit the UK?

    I gotta think on this for a bit, however, I rather have the front tire down, no lube issues, and the wear on the tire will cost, but is cheaper than the labour on the cruiser rear tire. It would require a light bar, or maybe just reflectors since vehicle tail, signal and brake lights are extremely visible. This would be cheaper on ferries that charge by the foot. Great for short haul, but do not think it is worth the cost on a long road trip. (Canada) I am just not sure how the front steering geometry would work on the bike.

    I used to operate a similar towing device called the thu-hitch www.truhitch.com/ when I was in the military. The thing is you can lift up the front by levering however you should hook up the pivot point closer to the center of the bike. One day out on exercise, one of my privates hooked it up wrong and broke the towed vehicle's frame in half.
    is there an engineer in the house. can you calculate te stress load on the front of that bike............this is a terrible idea.

    Wouldn't be better for the bike to just lay it on its side and drag it? I've done the research, dragging it would save your forks. and once it's down, it won't fall anymore! doing it your way you will scrape the paint, you will blow the seal on the front forks, and as you drive the bike will wave side to side until it falls over. Other than that this is a good video! in the end, you could save $10,000 by calling a tow truck!
