Re: 'Transformers' - Motorcycles in disguise

The ultimate indignity for a broken down car to be towed by a motorcycle!

There's obviously some really clever stuff going on here, one obvious issue is stopping the whole shooting match once its on a roll, but looking I can see 4 pot brakes on the trailer wheels so thats been taken care of, how they're actuated would be interesting to know.

Re: 'Transformers' - Motorcycles in disguise

I needed a tow vehicle in case I have to tow the 40 around, so now I can ditch the V8 with tow bar and just get one of those bikes instead! Awesome.
What's next an 18 wheeler wheelchair so that the oldies in the nursing homes can provide cheap transport?
