a motorcycle that can tow a car
EDIT:woops, it looks like the towing device is made in SWEDEN not Switzerland. sorry.
fascinating.
it’s really a good idea, this motorcycle towing vehicle. well, let me back up. it’s not a vehicle that tows motorcycles, but it’s the motorcycle that tows vehicles.
say, your car suddenly dies in a middle of a highway, in a traffic jam. imagine how difficult it would be to have a tow truck come and tow your vehicle away. but with this, a lane splitting bike can come and rescue your hooptie before passing motorists hurl insults at you or worse.
the bike is a honda GL 1800cc, and is modified by a swiss company under contract. it’s a six speed bike with 5 forward and one reverse. it’s capable of pulling 2.5 tons, at 30km/h

hi i am a tow truck operator for the Alberta Motor Association in Alberta Canada and find this concept of towing vehicles with a motorcycle to be very inventive and inspiring. now all we need is those here for the Alberta Motor Association. have an awesome day *_*

Thanks, Rob, for your comments! i imagine this would be handy in your line of work when the highways are choked with traffic…
