  • Patent number: 4662617
    Abstract: A support base is shown for supporting a motorcycle where the motorcycle has a footpeg on either side of the motorcycle frame for receiving the rider's foot and where each footpeg is provided with at least one opening therein. The base includes a body having a top support surface for supporting the frame of the motorcycle, a bottom surface and sidewalls therebetween. A tie-down tool is provided which includes a handle and a shank extending outwardly from the handle. The shank is of lesser relative diameter than the handle to allow the shank to pass through the footpeg opening but to restrain the handle. The outer extent of the shank opposite the handle is provided with a hook for engaging a loop on the sidewall of the body to support the motorcycle in upright fashion on the base.
