Guys, about towing with a motorcycle:


It's even a good idea, snaking through backed up traffic with an origami tow vehicle.

Towing a trailer is no more of the load on your engine than that trip you took up the mountain to Big Bear Lake or the time you fought that 30mph headwind while driving halfway across the state, things you do all the time without thinking about stressing out the engine. And if you do encounter a hill climb or a stiff headwind while towing a load, then just slow down and reduce the load on the engine, something we at ecomodders do all of the time.
