Abstract
A two-wheeled vehicle support apparatus includes a kickstand-receiving support member adapted to rest on a support surface and be interposed between the ends of the kickstand and the support surface. A riser member is adapted to interlock with the kickstand-receiving support member. Also, the riser member is adapted to partially rest on the support surface, and a tire-supporting member is adapted for receiving a rear tire of a two-wheeled vehicle. The tire-supporting member includes a first tire-receiving portion adapted to receive a bottom portion of the tire. The tire-supporting member is interposed between the rear tire and the support surface. The riser member includes a ramp portion located at a leading end of the riser member. The kickstand-receiving support member includes a centrally located tongue portion and a pair of platform portions which straddle the tongue portion. The riser member includes a groove portion that is complementary to the tongue portion and is adapted to receive the tongue portion, whereby the kickstand-receiving support member and the riser member are locked together in a predetermined orientation and are prevented from rotating with respect to each other. The first tire-receiving portion has a concave shape and is located on the tire-supporting member at a position distal to the leading edge. The tire-supporting member includes a riser portion located between the leading edge and the first tire-receiving portion of the tire-supporting member.
