Abstract
A dirt bike carrier (10) for a hitch receiver (12) under a rear bumper (14) in a motor vehicle (16) comprising a box tube (18) having a first end (20) mounted within the hitch receiver (12). A stanchion (22) is provided. A structure (24) is for turning a first end (26) of the stanchion (22) being at a right angle to a second end (28) of the box tube (18), so that the stanchion (22) can go from a horizontal position "A" into a vertical position "B". A support frame (30) maintains a dirt bike (32) thereon. A facility (34) is for pivoting the support frame (30) centrally to a second end (36) of the stanchion (22), so that the support frame (30) can go from a lowered horizontal position "C" to a raised horizontal position "D", with the dirt bike (32) thereon.
