1. A utility holding device for attachment to handlebars of a mototcycle for carrying elongated objects, said device comprising:
- (a) Clamp means adapted for rigid attachment to the handlebars;
(b) A support base attached to the clamp means and having a threaded opening therein;
(c) A mounting stem having a longitudinal axis and a threaded lower section adapted in size and configuration for a tight, adjustable fit within the threaded opening of the support base, said mounting stem providing elevational adjustment with respect to the base;
(d) A holding member having an upper half and a lower half, said lower half being formed with a U-shape comprising two upright arms and an intermediate base which define a containment area, said lower half being attached at its base to an upper portion of the stem with the stem and arms generally in common upright orientation such that the lower half can be rotated with the stem in the support base about the longitudinal axis to engage and lock the carried object between the upright arms of the lower half of the holding member;
(e) the upper half including an extension of at least one arm of the lower U-shape which is configured as an elbow which bends toward the containment area and provides an upper cocked end to the holding member for engaging an upper part of the contained object and for applying a counter, downward force toward the base of the U-shape to grip and restrain the contained object in a locked position within the holding member;
(f) said upper half further including an open section between opposing ends of the holding member to enable insertion of the elongated object therethrough to the containment area.
