Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, ornamentation and configuration of a generally symmetrical toy motorcycle having a rider mounted thereon; the toy motorcycle has wheels with relatively enlarged tires and a front fender section having a curved upper surface which conforms to the curvature of the front tire; the toy motorcycle has a generally flat and rectangular lower surface situated between the enlarged tires, the lower surface having a series of aligned generally identical forwardly facing chevron-like depressions; the lower surface merges through rounded corners into lateral side exhaust covers situated on either side of the toy motorcycle chassis, the lateral side covers each having three spaced-apart slightly angled straight slots therein which extend from the lateral sides part way across the rectangular lower surface; each wheel area is solid and has six identical arcuate recesses therein the outer portions of which can be seen on both wheels; the arcuate recesses are separated by six identical spoke-like areas having parallel sides defining straight side edges of the arcuate recesses;the front fender section merges into a front fork section which extends upwards and rearwards and merges into a laterally extending handle bar section having a central headlight which has a domed surface facing upwards and forwards, the central headlight is situated between two smaller generally identical parabolic elements having domed front surfaces which face forwards and slightly upwards; the headlight is also situated ahead of and between two upwardly and rearwardly facing generally cylindrical gauge areas of the toy motorcycle; the rider is situated above the fuel tank cover section which in turn is situated above the engine section of the toy motorcycle; the gas tank cover section has a trapezium-like raised area on each side thereof, the trapezium-like raised areas having slightly rounded corners and beveled outer surfaces and a pair of inwardly sloped generally flat and triangular inner surfaces; the rider is situated ahead of a rear seat area of the toy motorcycle, the rear seat area having a generally flat upper surface, a flat front surface, and generally flat outwardly extending side surfaces with rounded corners between the flat upper, front and side surfaces; the engine section has simulated exhaust headers on either side of the toy motorcycle below the fuel tank, each with a generally longitudinally extending pipe having three fully exposed, upwardly extending and three partially exposed, downwardly extending simulated header pipes; the rider is mounted with its feet on posts situated above the rear axle and knees extending below the lowest part of each foot; the rear wheel has lateral frame supports on either side thereof which have nearly semicircular surfaces with the lower portion of the right lateral frame support having a semicircular cutout on the lower portion thereof;the rider has a rider outfit and rider boots and helmet; the back of the outfit has spaced-apart narrow shallow laterally-extending grooves which merge into central generally identical and aligned crest-like areas having tapered straight side grooves which merge into a lower pointed groove area and an upper groove area; the outfit also has front upper leg portions, shin portions and the upper foot portions of the outfit and boot areas which have narrow shallow spaced-apart laterally-extending grooves extending across the surfaces thereof; the rider has raised elbow pad-like areas each having a laterally-extending rippled surface; the helmet has front and rear decorated areas, the front decorated area having a wide generally U-shape and the rear decorated area being partial chevron-like designs situated between spaced-apart generally circular areas.In the first variant, the rider has knee-like areas with portions of small wheel-like projections which extend downwardly and slightly outwardly therefrom; the relatively enlarged tires each have rows of spaced-apart circumferentially extending raised tread elements; the inwardly sloped generally flat and triangular upper inner surface on the right side of the toy motorcycle has a series of tiny spaced-apart generally identical circular areas thereon.In the second variant, the rider has knee-like areas with portions of small wheel-like projections which extend downwardly and slightly outwardly therefrom; the relatively enlarged tires each have rows of spaced-apart circumferentially extending raised tread elements; the inwardly sloped generally flat and triangular upper inner surface on the right side of the toy motorcycle is smooth.In the third variant, the rider has knee-like areas with portions of small wheel-like projections which extend downwardly therefrom; the relatively enlarged tires each have rows of spaced-apart circumferentially extending raised tread elements.In the fourth variant, the rider has knee-like areas having smooth curved surfaces; the relatively enlarged tires each have rows of spaced-apart circumferentially extending raised tread elements; the inwardly sloped generally flat and triangular upper inner surface on the right side of the toy motorcycle has a series of tiny spaced-apart generally identical circular areas thereon.In the fifth variant, the rider has knee-like areas having smooth curved surfaces; the inwardly sloped generally flat and triangular upper inner surface on the right side of the toy motorcycle has a smooth surface; the relatively enlarged tires each have rows of spaced-apart circumferentially extending raised tread elements.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a first variant of the design of a Toy Motorcycle;Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof;Fig. 3 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 5 is a right side elevation view thereof;Fig. 6 is a left side elevation view thereof;Fig. 7 is a right side elevation view of a second variant of the design of the Toy Motorcycle, the top, bottom, front and rear views of the second variant being the same as Figs. 1 through 4 and the left side elevation view being the same as Fig. 6 or a mirror image of Fig. 7;Fig. 8 is a top plan view of a third variant of the design of the Toy Motorcycle;Fig. 9 is a bottom plan view thereof;Fig. 10 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 11 is a rear elevation view thereof, the right and left side elevation views thereof being the same as Figs. 5 and 6 or Figs. 7 and 6, respectively;Fig. 12 is a top plan view of a fourth variant of the design of the Toy Motorcycle;Fig. 13 is a bottom plan view thereof;Fig. 14 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 15 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 16 is a right side view thereof;Fig. 17 is a left side view thereof;Fig. 18 is a right side elevation view of a fifth variant of the design of the Toy Motorcycle, the other views being the same as Figs. 12-15 and 17 or Figs. 12-15 and a mirror image of Fig. 18.Diagrams of the design are included.
