Towing with a 3rd gen

I know that I will get alot of slack for this, but I need to tow my dirt bike with my 3rd Gen RX. I've been using my wifes Miata and it works great. the trailer + Bike is only 500 pounds and it's set up with a tung weight around 50. I have found a hitch, but I'm wondering if any one else has tried this. The hitch requires some holes to be drilled, but the manufacturer states that these are not in any stress locations and that the hitch will only add to the overall strength. Anyone out there use there RX to tow a small trailer?
