Abstract

A pair of support arms are arranged for attachment to a vehicle, and a channel-shaped ramp is arranged to seat on these arms for holding a motorcycle. This ramp has a pivot connection with one arm and extends beyond such pivot connection in a direction opposite from the other arm whereby upon tilting the ramp off the other arm, a motorcycle can be wheeled up the ramp to a point such that the combined centers of gravity of the motorcycle and ramp will cause the latter to pivot down into support on the other arm. A releasable latch is provided to hold the ramp down in a non-pivoting position. The ramp has a depending loop for removably receiving an auxiliary ramp which forms an extension thereof. The present carrier may be associated with various types of support means on a vehicle such as support means arranged for mounting on a bumper, bumper guard or support means combined with a spare wheel mount.
