	Some discussion in net.auto seems worthy of reposting
here. It's good for a laugh:

I once heard a story about a guy who pulled a (normal - not made for a
bike) hardtop tent trailer with a motocycle. He was driving along one day when
a police cruiser came along the road towards him. The driver was so
suprised to see a tent trailer with a headlight coming down the road
towards him that he went off the road and into a tree. I wonder if the
police could sue the guy on the bike? If you really plan on doing
this, maybe you should consider a special liablilty insurance for such
things :-) ?
