15 feet of 1/4 inch rope. You can find the rope in most sporting goods stores.
Minimum of 6'6" of 1inch flat webbing. Each bike will be different depending on seat height and sag.
Duct tape or electrical tape.
Handlebar soft ties
The 1 inch webbing goes over the seat and is tied to each foot peg. Do not leave a long tail of webbing on the left side of the bike next to the front sprocket.
1/4" rope is tied to the 1" webbing and will run down the longitudinal axis of the bike.
The duct tape will keep the rope on-top of the rear finder and out of your rear sprocket.
Run the rope back to the soft ties on the bike being towed. The rope needs to go through the loops twice and then wrap once around the throttle. If the rider being towed starts to fall have him let go of the rope (throttle) and the whole thing will unwrap.
Hints:
*It's important to keep the rope tight between the two bikes.
*Establish a means of communication before you start towing. I suggest the tower gives a head fake over his left shoulder and then looks for a hand signal from the guy being towed. You need to head fake so the guy in the back knows you'll be looking for a hand signal soon. Look over your left shoulder because the guy being towed can't give a hand signal with his right hand.
*Don't go fast around corners because you will whip the rear bike just like a water skier behind a boat.
Ready to be stored in a finder bag.
