[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 142128, member: 17212"] [b]Towing[/b] ryno. I have towed a few bikes out of the woods and maybe I can offer a few suggestions to make it a little easier. First of all, like smb said, tow from the center of the bike. What I usually do is to wrap the tow strap around the handlebars, (in the center of the bars), about two or three times leaving about 1 1/2 feet of strap left over. Take that 1 1/2 feet of leftover strap to the grip and hold onto it while gripping the bars. That way, if you get into trouble, you can let go of the tow strap and it will unravel from the bars and pull away with out dragging you. Also, have the bike being towed do all of the braking for both bikes. This keeps the tow strap tight at all times preventing the possibility of the strap getting tangled in the rear wheel of the bike doing the towing or the front wheel of the bike being towed. It's a good idea to get a proper tow strap. Malcolm Smith sells one that folds up into a small package and is easily stored on the bike. Just my $ .02 [/QUOTE]
