Default Any problems with towing a F2?

I am thinking of buying a motorcycle towing system so I can tow my bike when I need to without a trailer. The product is here http://www.undertakermts.com/. Basically it works like a car tow dolly in that you tow the motorcycle with the front wheel off the ground and the rear on the ground. My question is does anybody know of any problems that could arise from having the bike rolling in neutral? Any problems with oil not getting to the trans becasue the motor isn't running? Any input would be appriciated.

The photo slideshow on their website has a truck towing an F2! lol..

I would NEVER trust it, seems like a lot of stress on the front end, too.

From what I read when I bought mine, you really shouldn't tie down a bike by the handlebars. Just doesn't look safe to me. Might want to make sure it's legal in the states. Your state in particular.

On top of that, in PA, you need to have a Flag on anything that you carry that extends beyond a certain limit....and at night, I believe you must have a light. Might even need it to hook up to your lights.

I also wouldn't buy anything like that. Bike tires wear fast enough as it is. Don't need that either. Just seems like too much to go wrong.
BTW, used cycle trailers aren't that expensive if you really need one, and if you ever have a bike problem or a flat, you could trailer it home instead of dragging it.

That rear wheel takes a sideways hop, it's on it's side.
