Abstract
A motorcycle carrier conformed for pivotal engagement to the bed of a truck includes a pivotal channel in which a motorcycle carrying track is translated on rollers. A strap passing over pulleys then allows pivotal motion of the member from the truck bed and concurrent translation of the track, raising the member to a vertical position, and deploying the track onto the ground for loading or unloading. Once the loading function is effected the member and the track advanced thereon may be returned onto the truck bed for transport.
