That was amazing. It was a real recovery vehicle? Certainly looked real.
I'm guessing steep hills would be out though.

I don't see the advantage, it's almost as wide as a car, It must have some weight in it too, all of which is far back and high up [Image: blink.gif]

I don't think that was in the USA. Sounds like it would work well, if you had to get thru stopped traffic to get a stalled car out of the way. Here in California we've got these mini tow trucks ... bigger than a van but smaller than a conventional tow truck. They roam the freeways during commute hours and wait on the side of the road to get wrecks out of the way quickly.

This is in Sweden. Look Goldwing-retriever.

The advantage is that in heavy traffic it is easier for small motorcycle to get to the right place.
