Tow Strap

Anyone that's ever pushed a bike more than a few feet will tell you if you only pack one item for riding it should be a tow strap. Ours is 15' long, has a loop sewn at both ends, comes in a nice carrying case, weighs only 3 oz and is made from ballistic nylon so you could probably pull a car with it.

If you use the following suggestions for towing, it'll save you a lot of pain and suffering:

• secure strap to the sub frame on the towing bike or ATV as close to the centerline as possible
• remove front headlight/number plate and wrap around the steering head once then hold the end loop with your clutch hand. This allows for a quick release if things get tricky
• let the towed bike slow both bikes down
• keep constant tension on the strap
• coast through turns rather than powering through them
• never apply power when one bike is out of line with the other
• do everything smoothly
• check often to see if the towee is still there
• keep you speed up - it's easier to tow at 20 MPH than at 5 MPH
