Last Thursday around Ocala on I-75 I saw a first for me. You guys may be familiar with this towing option, and if so, perhaps can shed some light on advantages and disadvantages, although a couple seem obvious (compared to trailer or lift).
It was an SUV towing a large custom Harley as if it was a trailer, with front wheel off the ground supported from SUV's receiver, and rear wheel rolling like a one-wheel trailer. The guy was doing about 80 MPH as he passed me and the bike was as stable as any trailer, maybe more.
I did not have time to get a picture, but found one on WEB to illustrate this towing option. Apparently there are two types of systems which are slightly different. In this one a frame clamps to bike to keep it upright, and in the other straps are used. Swiveling for turns also appears different.
When I first read this thread I wondered if this type of towing was ever used on trikes.
