A motorcycle righting apparatus, comprising: a substantially horizontal pivot bolt; a support member on at least one side of the motorcycle with a support member first end rotatable on the pivot bolt; an actuator with an actuator member moving substantially vertically, the actuator member functionally connected to the support member first end such that when the actuator is actuated to move the actuator member, the support member rotates on the pivot bolt from a travel position on the motorcycle downward through a substantially vertical plane into engagement with the ground and then downward further thereby lifting the motorcycle as the support member pushes against the ground, the support member in the travel position being suitable for motorcycle travel, a brace bar extending between the actuator member on a brace bar first end and a position intermediate the support member on a brace bar second end such that as the actuator moves the actuator member downward the brace bar causes the support member to move downward.
