Patent ID: 7648317

Claim:
A transport stand for a motorcycle having an axle rod projecting from the opposite sides of a rear wheel which comprises: a base; first and second cycle support arms having inner and outer ends and moveably attached to said base; a cycle engagement member affixed to the outer ends of each of said first and second cycle support arms; and said first and second cycle support arms moveable between a load position in which the outer ends of said first and second cycle support arms are spaced apart a first distance to enable said first and second cycle engagement members to engage opposite ends of said axle rod when the rear wheel is on a support surface and a secured position in which the outer ends of said first and second cycle support arms are spaced apart a second distance less than said first distance such that said first and second cycle engagement members are moved inwardly from opposite ends of said axle rod towards the sides of said rear wheel to prevent excessive lateral movement thereof.
