Zomg that is pimpness, and a serious leg up on the competition if used in conjunction with the business' truck! It'll clear up traffic jams in a fraction of the time it takes the truck to get there too!

a 6 cylender 1.8L motorcycle... of course it can tow a car, and I bet the 20mph top speed is just for stablility, and stoping, altho I would think they dolly would have extra brakes built in, all in all it's a great idea.

hmm i dont' see why they dont' just put in an underdrive gear or soemthign, that way they woudlnt' have to be plugging up traffic the whole time they're driving to the stopped vehicle. They could go quite a bit faster i would think, and just shift into low range like a truck does.

I don't think that's much of an issue in most places seeing as they would just pull the car off to the right and leave it for the company tow truck to get.

I actually was thinking for the commute to and from the stranded vehicle, or is the 20mph top speed only for towing configuration?
