Cool, a YTM! It is a neat idea but I wouldn't use it. ATV tires wear out fast on the road and your chain life wouild be cut way down. They do have one like that for motorcycles, put the front tire in and roll on the back. The downside with the motorcycle one is the rear tire squares off.

My link appears to have expired, I will have to find it again. But for those who didn't see, it was a type of car dolly for the atc. It raised your front tire off the ground and attached to a hitch on another vehicle or atv. Dont know how practical it would be for going down the road behind a truck, but if your atv broke down up some mountain trail it looks like it would be a great alternative to a tow strap.
