As you brought this up in this long and bit wasting thread...

That comment about Tiger not being field serviceable is total bs. The 
only reason allied troops captures some Tigers in relatively good 
condition is that it took 2 or preferably 3 tigers to tow just one 
that got broken. Actually there was a order that tiger tanks were not 
allowed to tow other tigers under any condition.

The reason for this was that the tiger was just too damn heavy.

Nothing to do with motorcycles but as this subject just happens to be 
a hobby of mine... :)
