A ride on/ride off dirt bike stand for use with dirt bikes that do not come with a kickstand attached to the dirt bike for parking the dirt bike when not in use, such as motocross, rally, trials and/or track bikes. The dirt bike stand is free standing and includes an upper frame pivotally connected to a base frame, such that the upper frame may be pivoted and secured between an upright position and a lowered position. The upper frame may be height adjustable so that the dirt bike stand may be utilized with different dirt bikes having differing chassis heights. Also, the upper frame may include a rotatable platform to provide a greater surface area for supporting the dirt bike.
