Abstract
A compact and sturdy stationary stand for a motorbike which is capable of being used as both a rear axle stand and a center-mount stand. The stand can be inserted into the rear axle and the motorbike can simply be rocked back onto the stand to lock the bike in an upright position. The motorbike remains in a fixed upright position, and the chain can be removed or lubricated with ease. When used as a center-mount stand, the motorbike simply rests or balances on the stand, and the motorbike can be positioned such that one wheel is always on the ground, allowing the other wheel (elevated) to be worked on or removed.
