| Summary: | A device for securing a motorcycle that can be mounted onto a wheel lift bar of any commercial tow truck, including a flat bed tow truck and a wrecker tow truck, is used for towing a motorcycle. The motorcycle towing device comprises a front wheel assembly, a rear assembly, a ramp, and several ratchet straps. The motorcycle towing device is easy to assemble and can be easily stored in a typical storage compartment of the tow truck when not being used. The motorcycle can be pushed up a ramp into a channel where it is secured using ratchet straps. After lifting the wheel lift bar of the tow truck, the motorcycle is ready for towing. Since the motorcycle to be towed occupies only the wheel lift bar of a flat bed tow truck, a second vehicle can be towed at the same time on the flat bed platform. |
