Incredible Transformer Motorcycle

Umm, what’s that strange looking motorcycle up ahead?
A transformer obviously. And what does it transform into?
A tow bike!
Although these seem to be most common in China, the Retriever is built by a Swedish company, aptly called “Coming Through“. The benefits in clearing a stalled car in jammed traffic are obvious. But somehow, I doubt we’ll be seeing them in the highly tow-averse US.

Paul, did you mean a tow bike, not a tow truck?
Just the other day I saw four insane towing getups. 1. Super Duty was towing a horse trailer. One, maybe two horses in it. He (the driver, not the horse) was driving in the left lane at > 70 MPH, tailgating all the way. 2. Tow truck hauling a bus. In the left-center lane, going over 65 MPH. 3. Tow truck hitching up a bus. At least he was on the right shoulder. 4. The worst: Tractor tow truck hauling a GARBAGE TRUCK at around 70 MPH. Front of garbage truck was swaying up and down, making the back of the tractor truck fall and rise in opposition. Which of course made the FRONT WHEELS of the tractor hauler nearly rise off the freeway pavement! "Holy Crap," I said to myself as I employed the use of some INTENDED accelleration with my right foot. I still think that a full 5-15% of drivers should be prevented from driving. At all costs!
