Surely this would have to be illegal?......even in the USA?? It would take some stopping!!

Bloody hell. Definitely get some camping gear in there though.

Hard to see that rig stopping in a straight line under emergency braking.

I reckon the trailer would try to overtake the bike and then flip it.

In the uk - a trailer pulled by a motorcycle is limited to 1 meter in width and 150kgs.

I think we can all agree that's unsafe. Personally I wouldn't want to tow even a small trailer with a motorcycle but there are many who do.
