ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle towing apparatus comprises a securing device adapted to secure a front wheel of a motorcycle; a coupler to secure the securing device to a towbar of a vehicle in such a manner that the securing device is disposed a distance above the ground and rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane about the towbar; a rigid member extending from a proximal end connected to the securing device to a distal end; and a fastener adapted to secure the distal end of the rigid member to the body of the motorcycle to maintain the front wheel of the motorcycle in fixed relation to a body of the motorcycle. The rigid member is pivotally connected at its proximal end to the securing device so that it may be extended outwardly from the securing device during use and rotated towards the securing device to make the apparatus compact when not being used to tow the motorcycle. The rigid member in the extended position is adapted to function as a ramp when the front wheel of the motorcycle is guided into the securing device.
