    Cool idea for retrieving cars in heavy traffic, but I'd hate to be the pilot with that much weight following me! Disaster comes to mind when thinking about high speed stops or steep hills. Actually, I don't think high speed "stops" would be so much a problem as high speed "wish I was stopping"! It is pretty amazing engineering though.

    It's Japanese Engineering. I'd be willing to bet that there's all kinds of safety-related stuff built right-in!

    Servo-operated anti-lock brakes ... and more.

    It's nice to see a Gold Wing ... out ... makin'-a-livin' ... for a change. Rather than just being out for some sun and a good time; llike they usually are!

    Hey don't knock the goldwings, They rock, Still don't know if I want to try and stop that thing, scary even with abs brakes, when the load out ways the pulling vehicle it get's a little scary, been there done that a few to many times

    Notice the pics the trailor wheels have brakes too which makes brakeing a breeze.
