No, not a Goldwing ON a tow truck...
Looks fun until you have to stop quickly or back up.

Yah, I could see pulling it but braking could be an issue in heavy stop and go traffic or coming to a sudden stop if need be.  Suspension isn't really designed for it really either.  I've always was considering pulling my triton ATV88 2 place ATV trailer (unloaded no ATV's of course) around to see how it would handle with my I/S since the trailer is aluminum and only weighs 380lbs. tongue weight guessing 100 lbs. but is 7 feet wide by 8 1/2' long but I think it would bounce around back there a lot?

The towing cradle has 3 wheels, so it's not really adding weight to the 'wing.  Brakes would be a big concern though.

Wonder how long the clutch and dampeners will last.  In my neighborhood a bike mechanic repaired a clutch on a Valk that was cooked and you could smell it. The guy use to pull a full size pop-up camper and cooked the clutch.
