Claim 10:
11. A method of loading a motorcycle onto an elevated surface, comprising:
a) obtaining a motorcycle loader, the motorcycle loader having
i) a frame, wherein the frame is a U-shaped bar having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the U-shaped bar comprises a base bar at the proximal end, the base bar defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first arm extending from the first end towards the distal end, and a second arm extending from the second end towards the distal end, wherein the first arm comprises a first front mount, and a first back mount in between the first front mount and the proximal end, and wherein the second arm comprises a second front mount, and a second back mount in between the second front mount and the proximal end;
ii) a friction wheel mounted on the frame, wherein the friction wheel is mounted to the frame at the proximal end of the U-shaped bar;
iii) a first clamp operatively connected to the friction wheel;
iv) a motor operatively connected to the friction wheel; and
v) a switch operatively connected to the motor;

b) connecting the first back mount to the motorcycle adjacent to a rear wheel of the motorcycle on a first side;
c) connecting the second back mount to the motorcycle adjacent to the rear wheel of the motorcycle on a second side;
d) connecting the first front mount to the motorcycle on the first side;
e) connecting the second front mount to the motorcycle on the second side;
f) clamping the friction wheel against a rear tire of the motorcycle with the first clamp;
g) connecting the motor to a battery;
h) actuating the motor of the motorcycle loader with the switch to drive the friction wheel to drive the rear tire of the motorcycle; and
i) guiding the motorcycle up a ramp connected to the elevated surface, whereby the motorcycle is loaded onto the elevated surface.
