    The towing would probably scare me, BUT .................................... The braking would definitely scare the S**T out of me.

    The Gold Wing tow vehicles have been around now for quite a while. Very popular over in Japan. The first time I saw one was in 2004 when I purchased my first Wing.

    That trick; is slicker than "snot on a hair lip"!!
    They must have figured out some sort of braking system for the tow-dolly...

    I'm a bit too jaded with the history of seeing the standard tow truck, I'm not sure I would be able to live with my a** falling off laughing so much seeing that coming to my rescue. on the other hand, I have been known to be an early adopter and my curiosity might win our.

    I once put my Honda Trail 90 into a puddle that was much deeper than I thought, almost as deep as the motorcycle in the video. My bike kept running and pulled me up on the other side. The Trail 90 had the air filter/intake up near the handle bars and was made to go thru water. I was worried about cracking the head as a whole lot of steam came off it for a minute of so but there were no problems.

    ...Had a Trail 110 for a while...
    They didn't make a lot of power, so they didn't put a lot of heat into the head...
    Fun little bikes!
