Motorcycle Tow Truck

For Greg. [Link]

With the flash of a manga fever dream, the "Retriever" motorcycle adds the utility of a tow truck to the relative agility of a bike. Built atop a modified Honda Goldwing, the Retriever uses a 118HP 6-cylinder engine that allows it to tow up to 5,000 pounds — plenty for most cars and light trucks.

The Retriever is already in use in 10 countries, says Retriever NA, its North American supplier. Goldwings aren't exactly cheap in the first place, so I would imagine that buying a Retriever would set you back a bit, but certainly not more than a standard truck-based towing rig.
