Carrier for a motorcycle

The subject invention relates to the type of carriers that are adapted for external connection to a portion of a vehicle with the connected carrier adapted to transport various objects therein, particularly two wheeled vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles. The general area to which this invention relates thus falls within a group of such carrier devices. The invention herein incorporates a significant development over existing carriers that are used to hold motorcycles or similar vehicles in an upright position at the posterior portion of the motor vehicle for transporting such vehicles. The invention herein is a carrier apparatus structured to be attached to a motor vehicle for carrying motorcycles and similar vehicles, which carrier is adapted for external attachment to a motor vehicle for supporting and carrying motorcycles in an upright position externally to said motor vehicle, with such apparatus having three major subcomponents, specifically, a base support member, referred to as a main support member, which is rigidly affixed to a portion of the vehicle through a connecting elevating mechanism, with the base support member having a bottom wheel support member to hold a portion of the front wheel of the carried motorcycle, and a vertical support portion, with an elevating member adapted to raise or lower the wheel base member.
