"All the parts seem new and rust free...."

Well that is one way to move.  Rent a moving truck and shove another truck in it then tow a second truck piled high with crap.  Would you drive behind...

Secure yes but I bet he gets all types of crap blowing into the cab of that truck.

If you have to do this then at least get some grips for the stick and good luck when that stick breaks and you face plant the bike.

Nothing like a woody bump out.

Giving new meaning to compact tandem bikes.  If they wreck its not going to be pretty.
