how would they arrive quicker though? they looks very wide so wouldn't exactly be able to filter through traffic.

Fuck that. If the trailer gets caught in a cross wind you are fucked.

JESUS! Pan Europeans are heavy enough in standard trim!

Notice the extra brakes on the dolly at the back.. Awesome piece of engineering if nothing else

Shame one of the Hydraulic seals has burst in the photos

Honda Goldwing tbh
120bhp 125lb/f odd 1.8L 4 pot, not bad really.
I thought it was for towing other bikes at first, oh and another problem if you break down, you usually want to go with your car

Would be good for getting to car thats stranded on the motorway quicker than a truck could, then tow it to the next exit and wait for the truck.

A bit like them ambulance cars

It would be very hard to judge the size of the trailor behind especially being on a motor bike. You would end up trying to go through the middle of traffic as you do on a bike, then realise you have a car on the back

Would be the same as the bikers who use trailers, and similar to sidecars I guess.

am sure a scirocco will have broken down, i don't really know what a spam banter scirocco is?

If 3cm, Steve, Ojc and mwg are the spam banter crew, and none of has sciroccos, then i would say no.

Hope this helps

Sorry my mistake,
I thought you drove a scirocco and was part of the spam banter crew.

i didn't mean when it's got a car on the back. DUH.

that won't fit through traffic on our roads full stop.

it's a break down vehicle, not a police bike, no one is going to move out of the way.

also, i can assure you i've never seen any harley davidson or replica style bike like those filter through traffic as they are way too wide.
