Heyo, just got back from SE Asia, where they do literally everything via motorbike. Family of 6? Fits on a motorbike. Need to move a queen mattress? Motorbike.
Anyway, one of the popular forms of transportation for foreigners in Cambodia is this kind of tuk-tuk that’s actually a trailer towed behind a motorbike (yes...the bike was only 125cc). Seems like they use two bearings to deal with the two axes of motion (pitch and yaw).

Was thinking about modifying a bike to do the same task (and probably a custom trailer) but maybe like a klr650 or something as the workhorse - no highway.
Anyone ever towed on their bike? The only common thing I can find is campers behind harley’s. I guess my concern is not “can I/the bike do it?” But more “is it legal?”
Any help/links appreciated!!
Cheers and safe riding,
Josh
