Some Things People Haul with Their Harleys
By Bassem Girgis

It's not an unusual sight seeing a Harley-Davidson being towed, but it is always a head-turner when you see a Harley-Davidson towing something. These riders are using their motorcycles to tow the weirdest things.

I've seen #1 in person. They do some military funerals that the PGR supports.

I spoke with the driver. It kind of wanders...and the stopping power sucks. But, none of his passengers have complained.

When I went to Pendleton Bike Week I saw a setup like #1, it was kind of cool.

In an unusual sight, this Harley-Davidson is towing another motorcycle. The powerful motorcycles are determined to leave nothing behind, and next time your motorcycle breaks down, maybe AAA will send you a Harley-Davidson to tow you home. If you thought HDs were impressive before, what do you think of them now?
RE: Photo Number 6
Either the Harley on the trailer is pushing the bike in front, or someone needs to get their eyes checked because the front bike is a Honda Gold Wing.
