ABSTRACT:
A towing apparatus for a two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle is provided having a support bar which slidably engages a hitch receiver connected to the towing vehicle and having a pivotally connected ramp which, when in a towing position, supports the front wheel. The towing apparatus includes two embodiments, one employing a hydraulic ram to raise the pivotable ramp and the other employing an eye bolt and nut to draw down an arm attached to the pivotable ramp. In either case, support straps are used to create a self-loading, one-person operable device which can be used for running and non-running two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycles. This device has the capability of being disassembled and, in such state, this relatively lightweight device is easily stored in its own carrying case.
