    Check These puppies out (Motorcycle Tow trucks)

    Looks like Honda Gold wings converted into tow trucks. Hope this is not a double posting.

      That's pretty cool! I'd love to see that thing deploying on the side of the road. Amazng that they can fold that whole thing up behind the driver. I wonder how it affects handling.

              Me thinks them nippon densos have too much time on their hands. (I envy their genius)

                      I remember some time ago actually seeing a video of one of these actually towing a car. Seems like they would need to stick to small sub-compacts.
