Abstract: A height adjustable motorcycle training wheel apparatus including a base plate that is detachably attachable to the underside of a motorcycle engine case or frame. A detachably attachable axle is attached to the base plate and a pair of auxiliary wheels are rotatably maintained thereon. The axle includes a series of bends that create a secondary axle axis that is parallel to and offset from the primary axle axis. The distance between the auxiliary wheels and the riding surface may be adjusted by detaching the axle from the base plate, rotating the axle to the desired position, and reattaching the axle to the base plate.
