Default Gold Wing Tow Trucks???????

I really couldn't figure out where to put this post. Seing as how other people(not me) call a Gold Wing a tourer and this site is the most active I put it here. It is kinda amazing what they are doing with the bikes. Anybody who has ever driven a tow truck knows how hard it can be to get to the accident, not with these babies. This would be a great idea for California on the expressways.Lets here some comments on this.

Can't imagine the life expectancy of the motor can be too long. [X(]

Or the driver, for that matter. the contact patch of the motorcycle's tires are no match to the fat lady tied to his ***. someone is going to get an assfull and a facefull one day when they can't stop that thing and rear end someone.

Best of luck with that one.

You would think they would get him a better looking helmet, not the Kazoo looking Flinstones one that he is wearing
