  • Patent number: 6068334
    Abstract: Integrated with the structure of a motorcycle whose engine is supported on a frame between a front wheel turnable by a handlebar and a rear wheel guarded by an aerodynamically-contoured rear fender are a rumble seat and directional front signal lights. The rumble seat which accommodates a passenger is incorporated in a separated section of the fender behind the saddle for seating a driver whose hands grasp the handlebar. The rumble seat is provided with a hinged backrest having a rear section which when the backrest is folded down over the seat then merges with the contours of the fender to conceal the seat. The right and left arms of the handlebar each terminate in a hilt having one branch which functions as a heated handle for a hand of the driver and an adjacent second branch which acts to shield the hand and houses a lamp for a directional signal light.
