Claim:
A mono beam trailer and support assembly for transport of an upright motorcycle behind a vehicle having a box beam receiver hitch extending rearwardly therefrom, the motorcycle having foot peg mounting brackets defining a hole at each opposing side portion, the mono beam trailer and support assembly comprising in combination: at least one foot peg pin for installation in the hole defined in the foot peg mounting brackets, the at least one foot peg pin having an annulus defining a hole therethrough at one end portion and an opposing threaded end portion, for engagement with a releasable connector, the foot peg pin installed on the foot peg mounting brackets so that the annulus depends below the foot peg mounting brackets; an elongate main beam box beam having a forward end portion and a rearward end portion with a universal joint at the forward end portion that pivotally interconnects the elongate main beam to a box beam receiver tongue that operatively engages with the box beam receiver hitch of the towing vehicle; a swing arm pivotally carried at the rearward end portion of the elongate main beam box beam, the swing arm having a forward end portion and a rearward end portion, and a wheel truck at the rearward end portion of the swing arm to support the rearward end portion of the elongate main beam box beam and pivotally connected swing arm above a supporting surface; a “T” bar assembly pivotally carried by the elongate main beam box beam between the universal joint and the swing arm, the “T” bar assembly having, a leg with a first end portion and a second end portion pivotally connected to the elongate main beam box beam at the first end portion and carrying a perpendicular crossbeam at the second end portion, the perpendicular crossbeam having laterally extending opposed end portions; a socket riser at each opposing end portion of the perpendicular crossbeam opposite the pivoting leg and a peg pin socket carried by each socket riser opposite the perpendicular crossbeam, each peg pin socket defining an axial through hole and a radially extending cavity communicating with the axial through hole therein opposite the socket, and a releasable securing pin that extends simultaneously through the axial through hole, the radially extending cavity defined in each peg pin socket and the hole defined by the annulus of the at least one foot peg pin when the at least one foot peg pin is operatively engaged with and carried within the radially extending cavity of the peg pin socket.
