How to tow a motorcycle

Whenever towing a motorcycle it is _very important_ to rig the tow rope so the towed person can drop the tow rope at any time. 

Weird things happen with towed motorcycles.  Sometimes the tow-er is looking forward and cannot see the problem developing with the tow-ed motorcycle so keeps on at full speed.  This can result in a crash and subsequent dragging of the bike along on the ground.

The way to do it is to bring the rope in between the handlebar clamps, loop around the handlebar once or twice then run a bit out to the left handgrip.  The tow-ed rider can hold the rope against the grip with his fingers.  If a problem develops he can just let go.  The towing force will immediately unwrap the rope from the handlebars and the tow-ed bike will be free.
