> One of my relatives who likes to forward emails sent one to me about motorcycles that are used in Asia and Europe as tow-trucks.  They're called Gold Wing Retrievers.  You might think that it would be hard for a motorcycle to tow a vehicle much heavier than itself without being destabilized, but the company has found a solution by having the towing attachment have three wheels.
  Hard to believe!  That Goldwing has plenty of power, but it is still a one-wheel drive.  I'm not sure it has the traction to do that on a hill, in the rain, or off the pavement.  Maybe they use fat drivers.  And whey would they use an expensive thing like a Honda Goldwing when there are cheaper vehicles that would do the job just as well or better?  Could the whole thing be a joke?  I think I can do a picture of my 4 hp Cushman pulling a trailer truck. Howard
