This is a new one for me. It's not quite car surfing since it involved another vehicle, and trying to tow a motorcycle sounds inherently unsafe to me. As far as I'm concerned the rider on the motorcycle is entirely to blame for what happened to himself. Thanks, Ryan.

So the guy agrees to ride a motorcycle knowing it will be towed behind another vehicle more than three times its weight. MORON! Thanks, Ryan!
