How does that frame not crack in two?

Looks like it’s a dually; tongue weight would be over the axle. The trailer deck looks like it’s resting on the trailer tires though. Sppears to be having engine troubles…….

Just cause it's a smartcar doesn't mean the driver of it is imho.

Would it pop a wheelie if using 4 wheel drive?

Of course.

Have you never "popped a wheelie"?

Not much of one but the only pic I have:

You read what you wanted to read... I can't help that.

And you totally missed my sarcastic comment about temperature.

I learned something watching Noraly - Itchy Boots - (motorcycle lady on every continent) when she went home for Covid and spent a day at the Dutch highway patrol academy. They put her on an expensive police bike and taught her how to dump it at high speed without injury, and some other stuff. She said on their patrol bikes all the braking is done with the right hand lever, with computer control over the back brake to keep the back tire from locking up while the front does close to 100% of the braking. I never knew this existed. But it makes sense to not have your leg down on a brake pedal, if you're going down. She also amazed them by completing their difficult offroad course on a light dirt bike, they said no new recruit had ever made it before. Amazing lady. Well worth watching.

BMW is very fond of such braking systems. Even so a good rider is better than BMW's systems. Plus the things are so darn expensive when they break that most owners replumb the system to delete, creating a conventional non-power assist motorcycle braking system.

Simple ABS is fine on motorcycles, simple "linked braking" is fine, but when they start trying to modulate both front and rear the problems start.

My Yamaha FJR1300 rear brake also applies 1 of 4 front brake cylinders. Honda Goldwings do something similar. Neither is nearly as aggressive as what BMW attempts.

Looks like a gooseneck trailer to me:

It is a gooseneck but it isn't there.

Easy… it’s not a RAM!

Good point, I hadn’t thought of that.

I had a snowsled that would lift the skis and go down the trail that way… it wasn’t a fast sled but still a lot of fun.

Done a bunch in a tractor 4x4 or 2WD don't matter when you hit that big rock with a rear blade. Much easier to deal with in HST imho.
