Not sure about this. Looks to me like you'd damage your bike somehow.

i personally dont approve of the idea of towing any vehicle with its tires on the ground. I prefer a flatbed of some sort so that there is less wear on the bike and the miles arent wracked up. and on some vehicles, when you tow them with the rear on the ground like that, it burns up the tranny.

exactly what I was thinking...chain is spining but no lub is going to be moving

Just remove the chain and it might be ok. Not for me though. I have a two bike trailer with Sport Chocks. The only way to go in my opinion. Takes me ten minutes to load and unload.

Sure hope that thing doesn't pop into gear somehow. It wouldn't last long at 70 in first. LOL

Makes you wonder how many lawsuits have been filed against them. Must have one heck of a disclaimer. Anyone know of a place locally that has affordable trailers?

Plan on replacing your rear tire everytime you toe your bike around with that thing

It would work on most bikes, it would just be scary as hell to try it the first time. The front end of my chopper is too long for it to work on mine, though.

It would be nice if I could getthe fucking thing out of the shop to ride........I was hoping to get it back before it got cold.....there goes that idea.
I am not sure how well it is going to run in the winter.
They are finnicky as shit on perfect weather days.
