Le's think about that, though. What matters in towing is the weight/force, isn't it? So the aerodynamic drag of a roof box would create more drag than a small trailer. I'm talking about motorcycle-sized, of the kind that I had no problems pulling behind an 850 cc Suzuki.

Aside on the dogs: I'd suggest looking up the "Plott Hound". Many mid-size brindle dogs get labeled as Pit Bulls or mixes, when they're really Plott Hounds (or something else). They have completely different personalities: mine's a water dog, fascinated by birds, runs at speed for miles, and has the hound-like 'woo woo woo' instead of a bark - yet he came to me from a Pit Bull rescue group. (Another foster failure: I was only supposed to give him a temporary home "just for a week or two" until he could be adopted. That was 3 years ago this April.)
