Abstract: A motorcycle parking stand is disclosed that utilizes three shoes oriented to engage a motorcycle wheel at different points around the circumference of the wheel thus maximizing the stabilizing effect of the structure. The shoes are generally wedge shaped or of a shape that resembles the profile of the tire so as to come in contact with the outer edge of the treaded surface of the tire. The first two shoes are pivotally mounted to the stand structure and are fixed in relation to each other. A third shoe is affixed to the forward part of the stand structure to arrest the forward motion of the wheel and to provide support. Engagement occurs by pushing the motorcycle wheel into contact with the pivoting shoes which causes forward rotation of said shoes until the axle of the wheel is forward of the pivot point of the shoes thus enabling gravity to hold the wheel in contact with the front shoe.
