Ever been stranded away on a highway or some part of the country where help is hard to find and the place is hard to access? What do you do when a vehicle stranded in the middle of traffic needs to be pulled away, but there is little space to get there? That is exactly what these specially modified Goldwings are for. They are built to drag away any stranded vehicle and while one might feel that these bikes may not handle too much of weight, they are built to drag away even the biggest of cars.
Swedish firm Coming Through has employed specially modified Honda Goldwing motorcycles to quickly travel through traffic and rescue stranded vehicles. The specially designed bike takes little over a minute to convert to its towing glory, powerful enough to haul most passenger cars. The foldable bracket stowed away behind the bike’s back seat is hitched onto the front of the car and towed away.
The real practical use occurs in places where there is high traffic such as in urban areas. Usually when there are accidents, the traffic around the area makes it difficult for normal tow trucks to enter, that’s where the Goldwing can swoop down and tow the accident vehicle in a jiffy. This not only saves on space but also adds to the speed. In a huge mess on road, the faster and easier you can tow away something, the better it becomes. This easy way to handle common traffic problem should inspire more makers to follow the same path.
