A motorcycle stand designed for hands-free operation that enables the rider to safely park a motorcycle in a secured, upright position without the aid of another individual and without having to dismount from the motorcycle. The motorcycle stand includes: rigid base; adjustably attached ramp; ramp-locking device; wheel stop; pairs of adjustably attached and opposing wheel supports; and a multitude of anti-skid pads. The wheel supports guide the wheel into the parking position and engage the sides of the front wheel. The weight of the motorcycle ensures the front wheel is engaged in the motorcycle stand such that the motorcycle cannot be moved forward, backward, or tipped from side-to-side. The steep inclination of the ramp and a locking device prevent the parked motorcycle from accidentally rolling backward and out of engagement with the motorcycle stand, even when the motorcycle is parked on an inclined surface. The position of the ramp and wheel supports can be adjusted to accommodate wheels of different widths and diameters. The stand is sized and configured such that it does not interfere with the motorcycle's front fender, brake rotor, and lower fairing. The stand is light weight, of simple and inexpensive construction, and easy to transport, operate, and deploy.

[ What is claimed is:] [9.]9. A stand apparatus for securing a two wheeled vehicle in an upright, parked position, the vehicle having wheels rotatably mounted upon axles whereby the wheels may be used to roll the vehicle across a supporting surface and on and off the stand apparatus, said apparatus comprising:a base disposable upon the supporting surface;at least one lower anterior wheel stop member positioned above said base;at least one upper anterior wheel support member positioned above said base;a horizontal cylindrical barrel member rotatably mounted upon said base;at least one lower posterior wheel support member movably connected to said barrel member;at least one sleeve member rotatably disposed around said barrel member;means for releasably securing said sleeve against movement in relation to said barrel member;a support rod member rigidly extending between said at least one sleeve member and said lower posterior wheel support, wherein said sleeve member is selectively positionable along said barrel member to accommodate wheels of different widths; anda planar parking ramp member rigidly attached tangentially to said barrel; rein when the vehicle rolls on said apparatus, said parking ramp member rotates with said barrel member from an unloaded position to a loaded position.
