taffy are you completely insane ( i haven't met a welshman who wasn't :lol: :lol: :lol: ) if i was tied by a rope to one of my mates cars or bikes, they would instantly grow horns and i could visualise myself getting towed down the motorway at 80mph with extremely brown trousers.
on reflection of that last sentence, maybe it's about time i re-assessed my friends.
i could ask the wife, but i don't trust her with the remote for the telly, far less towing me to certain death.

Taf you are an evil man !

What taffy forgot to say in this drill is that the rope is tied to the Bike that is doing the TOWING. The end for the bike that is being towed is wrapped 2X around the left hand grip and the loose end is held in the hand so that if you need to abort all you have to do is open your hand.

Shame Taffy 8) the worst wrecks I have ever seen have been from Loading and unloading a bike from a truck and second tow starting. :twisted:
