Well...I guess we all know what your next Gold Wing mod will be CJ! I think you will take home two trophy's when you arrive at the next car show towing your HHR with the Gold Wing.

(I also noticed that video was shot in Europe. I don't think the government will ever approve that setup for use on U.S. highways!)

Noticed that also. Maybe Stitch has seen one in use in Switzerland.

Now that's something they should get for the downtown highway tunnels in Boston. Sure would help the traffic clear faster.

to SOCAL, i would bet if you did a demo at a show I would win Best of Show... NO WAY am i going to do that. and try to convice someone to let me do it,,,,

HEY, i could pull my HHR to the show and win 2 Trophies, HOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAh

it does look cool though

if you notice he is driving really slow all the time and prob why he has 2 flashers up high and i will bet he goes through tires and brakes in a hurry.
He is driving a 1.8 liter 6 cylinder that has alot of torque but that would bother me and i have been on a m/c since age 6 and raced for 17 years.

Still looks cool watching it

all of the Hondas have 3 rotors with 2 up frontand they are integrated and it stops fast and a passanger doesnt do anything much. if it does it is minimal. to me the integration probably adds feet to stopping distance but they just dont trust old guys on the bikes to stop using the front.

Europe is very protective of it's motorcycle riders with much more stringent rules if you hit one even, like instant jail if you are at fault if you hit one. Better than here

It looks to me like that rig is wider than a normal lane of traffic here in the US. I think it would be a heavy load for a bike and would definitely have concerns about stopping that thing in a hurry! It is a kewl video though!!

CJ, that dog, Faith, is just amazing! I've seen a few clips about her.

Folks, don't miss this one!!

It's an amazing story about, not only the dog, but the wonderful people who took her in.
