    Those frame hooks are used to pull fully loaded tractors out of holes and ditches. They will have absolutely zero issues supporting a light bike. You should be more concerned about the bike blocking radiator airflow, or the bike itself being damaged by vibrations.

    This is a frame hook next to a small bottle, and my arm.

    Mr. Frame Hook thinks a 500 lb bike is a joke.

    Look at this. Weighs 64 pounds. 30 Mph max speed.

    The Di Blasi "EXPRESS" is perfect as an alternate mode of transportation for those with private aircraft, RVs, yachts, drift boats and other boats, or long-haul big rigs, because it stores in less than 5 cubic feet of space and is ready to go in seconds. It even stores on its side without fuel leaks. It is a timesaver for trade show and livestock exhibitors, delivery and messenger services, as well as a lifesaver for roadside emergencies.

    ttention to where I parked for the night, watching until there was a truck on either side of me that was also spending the night. My nose did stick out some.

    I haven't seen an answer from a cursory google search so I figured I'd ask in this thread. If I was parked in a rest area on a toll road, would I be allowed to take my towed/stowed vehicle and exit through the gate to the regular roads? Has anyone done this?

    I can't speak for all but the PA turnpike you cannot. Only reason I know is when I ran for ups I had a key to get to the rest area on the turnpike in king of Prussia PA from 202 (non toll road). There was a man sized gate you might be able to get a bike thru but I would imagine it's frowned upon. Like I said....that is only the PA turnpike so I can't speak for anywhere else but I would imagine it's similar everywhere.
