WILL FLY Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Can't afford an E-Class or 4x4 to tow your Se7en to the trackday, hoa bout one of these instead here Roy.

JimB Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I thought there was a law about weight of load: weight of tow thing. Or is that just for the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefoster Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Only the Swedes eh! Why? It is very wide isn't it.

Phil Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Is the bike wider than a 7 and could you tow the 7 with a moped? X/FLOW 1700 DD 1990 ROAD USE ONLY..SO FAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I bet towing in the wet is an interesting experience. Grip on the drivewheel must be difficult to obtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile7 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I thinks its pretty cool. Would be great as an emergency 'rig' on motorways to get broken down folk off the hard shoulder and out of harms way (to the next services etc.). Not a 'long haul' track day towing device though IMO. aka Dave Ardley.

Alan L Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Having been stuck in a traffic jam due to a broken down vehicle and tow truck not been able to recover vehicle due to being stuck in said traffic jam this would seem like a good idea. There are rules regarding the ratio of weight between the tow car and what is being towed but as the bike is a Goldwing it probably weighs a couple of tonne so might not be a problem. 😬 Won't be keen to tow this way might self and would not let my own car be towed by it either.

Graham Perry Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 There is a concession that allows you to break the towing vehicle weight rule to rescue a vehicle in distress or causing an obstruction (I forget the exact phrase), but I suspect that the intent of this doesn't extend as far as something like this 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
