how to tow a motorcycle with a motorcycle...

great way to do it, small strap, peg to peg :)

one of the bikes broke down in spain, had to be towed offroad and on road, riding so close to another bike isn't particularly nice, good for experience though, i always carry a strap in my bag now when i go offroading, lightweight small but could get you out of trouble (bump starting offroad isn't easy)

good idea. i once got towed on a dirtbike when i was back in highschool. the front bike had the rope tied round the subframe, and the rear bike had the rope tied round the handlebars. was okay until the rope slipped to one side, which pulled on the left hand side more, making it want to turn right. combine trying to keep the bike in a straight line, whilst trying not to fall off, and bump starting it at the same time = hilarity!

@moffat27 now i would have loved to have seen that on vid

we used to push one another ,one leg on the saddle and push

[danmoto73]

@transdetendal yeah have done that before, never thought of tying the pegs before this, it works well

hehe that looked very interesting to do. Rather you than me mate!

Was nice to see the village again. Just shown it to my dad this and kept pointing out "thats where we chilled for the first night", and "up there and turn right and you get to THE BIG CHOP OF BEEF" haha, we still on for next year?! ;-P

[danmoto73]

@xanas7 yep definitely, i was thinking february again, what say you ?

That Is the way I used start My Motorcycle tie a rope behind a Car It works just fine until the rope gets tangled up In the front wheel and I go flying over the handle bars back In the early 70's Dirt Bikes had 80 Horse power.

F**king brilliant, the mans a genius, peg to peg stand on it and release if theres a problem. keep it short so less slack to go under your front wheeI.

I have never seen this one before but I will certainly remember it ;-)))

I love everything about off road riding. Even when these bits happen like it did to me two weeks ago. Your way is very interesting but quite spooky, it seems! Aloha!

haha, that looks scary! I've only seen 1 other way before, which was when Charlie Boorman got towed on dirt bikes in his "By Any Means" series. His tow line was routed between the forks (under headlight) then up to handlebars and wrapped round once and he held with hand. if he got into trouble he was to just let go of it.

LOL gotta love a yamaha.. So.. that was a smart effective way to tow. You realize you just taught people a good lesson? :P

A little scary at first, but looked like a clever way to do it.
