The Dakar Rally just kicked off. Any adventure that big requires some unique bikes skills, so we thought it'd be apt to start 2020 with a few Dakar inspired Mini Tip Monday's.
Our first video is all about the finer points of how to tow a motorcycle. There are two different methods, that work fantastically bike to bike and car/truck to bike. Got any other suggestions? Let us know down below!

Thank you. I love the idea. I've never had to tow, but the day is coming!
🤣🤣 Thanks for watching!
Never seen, heard, or thought of the footpeg one and how it quick releases. Thanks.
No problemo!
Awesome video. Very helpful. Great safety points.
So glad Mini Tip Monday is back! Great tip!
I always come back to your " How to Tow " a motorcycle. Great video. Very usual and heat safety pointers. Thanks.
Extremely helpful. Thanks.
Towed my mate on his broken bike across the mountain back across to Juan Knights at the TT last year after he crashed and smashed his rad. Foot peg to foot peg. Got the job done in the rain and mist. Had some scary moments on switchbacks. Got some looks from the road riders who i guess would have just called the AA....
like it, Been recommended myself to tow from the peg opposite side to the chain where possible.
I understand why. Should make much difference if you're not crossing it 😊
Excellent! Haven't ever needed to tow or be towed and the information is such that I hope I can remember it
Love Mini Tip Monday !I've never tried this and frankly hope I never do on the trail but I plan on trying both methods just in case I ever need it. Thanks for sharing. Your channel is one of my top favorites.
I've used this so much now 🤣 Glad you like my channel!
Always real life useful articles
Thanks. I've been looking for a towing instruction for ages.
Youre welcome!
Love it. Exactly what I needed to know. Using it to bump start a bike that hasn't run in a couple years.
Glad I could help!
Worked perfectly. Took about a mile of towing but it finally started. No way the battery would have ever turned the engine over enough times to get it going.
Once again, great video. Thanks! This is one of tbe best channels here in RUclips
Thanks!
Really great video ! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Well described, very useful....thanks!
Thanks!
All the best in the new year, is that the modified vstrom 650 you were doing
All the best for the new year and thanx for the towing instruction. Question: is that the last years Suzuki v-strom 'Project Bike", wondering what happened with that .....
Interesting. Never really gave much thought to this. Thanks for it.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, that was very useful, for road or trail. Les
Thanks for watching!
Great tips as always! Thank you! Could we get some videos on adventure riding with a pillion? I want to drive a bike back to Europe from India with my GF.
Good idea!
@@BrakeMagazine Awesome! I'll be looking forward to them!
useful info ,i was really looking for such info
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks. Great video. I wondered how to do it.
Thanks Liam!
A guy on our ride out binned his bussa on some gravel but lost a chunk of the clutch housing making it undriveable. He ended up getting his other half to drive his car over, left her with the bike and went to get a trailer for the bike, taking the best part of a day. For some reason I didn't think about towing it until now.
I mean, you ride without a clutch too.
Good instructional video. You have a nice wide tow strap. I would just add to be careful with the second method if you're using one of those thin lines. I was once towed and it cut into my handgrip, fortunately not into the wiring of my heated grips. I probably should have looped it once more around the crash bar before bringing it up to the grip.
Awesome
That husky has some pretty sturdy plastics
Why?
nice to see you again :-)
Thanks Strefa!
Excellent as always , if possible can you show how to tow in busy traffic, like coming out of an intersection? Etc
Not really! It's not legal to tow on public roads like this really, but also, it's no different to the above.
Great tip's, I had no idea how to tow a motorcycle! Thanks again, maybe tips on how to ride in mud, or sand, or Root's on the trail?
👌👌
For a small packable rope check out 1800lb bull line or pull tape. You will need to learn a good knot for the front bike though
Thanks for the tips.... hopefully never need to us them though!
It's pretty fun though!
Could be fun to practice though just in case!
Saved me today... Being towed by a car with soft sand sections... Dont recommend that haha. But on hard and asphalt it was quite ok, was worries a little about brakes overheating front constantly braking but was ok as it was just a few kms. Cheers
So glad this helped :D Sounds like an adventure!
Link for buying rescue straps?
Highly useful if we are down in the middle of nowhere .
Watch how Hafizh Syahrin towing MarcMarquez in Motogp last year. Malaysia Style. Without Cable or Rope
How bout bitting the rope?😂😂
Llel
Is posible to mount a winch on an adventure bike? Thanks.
Yes it is. No I haven't.
Any tip for towing a Honda PCX 150cc scooter behind a motorcycle?
Drag the rear brake to control speed.
@@BrakeMagazine thank you
Were you not supposed to be joining the Dakar this year? Or you just made us watch a video of you making silly things on a gym..?
That was the original plan. Sadly some personal things didn't go to plan and I had to pull out.
Si and Neil continued and are there now.
I have towed for hundreds of km on gravel and tar and mud. Always used ocky straps wrapped around the steering head under the headlight. No rellease possible. Never had a crash.
Ive literally watched a man be dragged under is his bike because insisted on doing it that way off road. It was horrendous.
Just because you can and have doesn't mean we shouldn't ask if there is a better way. 🙂
Then there's the dreaded push the dead bike by the footpeg with your leg when ya got nothing
Or the exhaust 😂
proof that they never plan for when shit breaks. that it's your responsibility.
*How the hell, am I going to stop? I can't use the front brake or will break my face and teeth, if I releese the cord will get loose, (this is just for a moment in fields not in the traffic) or unless you don't have to stop*
You can use both brake as Normal. The rider at the back does the braking, the rider at the front does the acceleration.
It works very well like this. I towed more than 100km in Dakar using this method and at many other points and it has worked well.
Meanwhile we Indians use our left foot to push the other bike
we too in Indonesian
First!! Yeah boy!!!
Can anyone tow a motorcycle all alone by himself like this guy in the video linked below:

second
😂
I was being towed by Drew
Excellent tips. More than my share of towing/towed "adventures" lol
Thanks Eric!
