OK... 11 pages now, so a true story about a high speed tow. I met a fellow at the lake, that had just purchased a 21' fishing boat, with all the add on equipment, including a huge squared off windshield, and attached canopy. After riding in the boat, doing some break-in for motors, testing equipment, we both decided to return home. I was riding a sport bike, and he was towing the trailer with boat, behind an old POS Eldorado Cadilac. I joking said, I'll race you back, the loser can buy beer. I pulled out from the boat landing, him in hot pursuit. Long story short, I had to maintain 110 mph, to keep ahead of him, on a not too busy 2-lane, for the entire 12 mile return to the city. No, he was not a friend, just an acquaintance, likely a little nuts. I did not stop, to collect my free beer, was just happy no one was killed by him passing other cars. I could not believe that huge windshield on the boat, stayed intact. It was designed to stand behind when driving the boat. Weeks later, I heard that his new boat/trailer/equipment had been taken from him by the lender.
