    I used a similar system to tow my bike from California to Illinois. Removed the chain and hit the road. Only difference was was the carrier was fastened directly to the hitch, and the bike had to be lifted up to the carrier. Worked well, as long as you have a good hitch, and don't even try and back it up. You need a cat two hitch for a small bike and cat three for a larger bike, to handle the tongue weight.

    THE BEST WAY I HAVE SEEN TO FUCK UP THE GEARBOX,I haven’t watched it all the way through but unless he takes the chain off he will blow up the gearbox for lack of OIL , BRAVO WELL DONE ALL THE WEEKS YOU SPENT ON THE COUCH THINKING UP THIS GET RICH QUICK will not work because you have to have to release the rear wheel (wheels) when towing .

      It's the UK... Available space is a bit less over there for most homeowners... They seem to like keeping all those old buildings around and things were a bit smaller back then... It's not like here in Houston where someone will buy two houses that are next door to each other so that they can bulldoze both of them down and build one large house... They actually *want* to keep their old stuff around... Then again, if it wasn't for all that old stuff, why would anyone visit the UK? There's cheaper places to experience cold and rainy weather... :)

    I gotta think on this for a bit, however, I rather have the front tire down, no lube issues, and the wear on the tire will cost, but is cheaper than the labour on the cruiser rear tire. It would require a light bar, or maybe just reflectors since vehicle tail, signal and brake lights are extremely visible. This would be cheaper on ferries that charge by the foot. Great for short haul, but do not think it is worth the cost on a long road trip. (Canada) I am just not sure how the front steering geometry would work on the bike.
