Default Towing My Evo......
Any of you guys heard of it or used one of these. If so would you use it around town or for maybe a long haul over 200 miles on the interstate?

It's innovative for sure, but I can't help but wonder why not use a trailer instead? IMO this seems like a solution looking for a problem.

I have heard nothing but bad about those rigs. Maybe down the block but not at highway speed for sure. Buy or rent a trailer, way cheaper then what your chrome bike is going to look like after that things goes bad. Good luck.

Uhaul has a low entry bike trailer for around 20$. Way safer for the bike. If it was just a bagger then yeah who cares... But a shovel. Treat it right.
