A front structure for a saddle-riding vehicle includes a meter unit, a meter covering for covering at least an area forwardly of the meter unit, and a windshield disposed forwardly of the meter covering. When viewed from lateral side, the windshield is disposed having been rearwardly upwardly tilted. The windshield has a rear surface is of a curved shape in which a region from its opposite side end portions to an intermediate portion is bulged forwardly. The meter covering has a front wall so shaped as to have a forwardly protruding shape effective to divert sunlight, coming from rear and subsequently reflected from the windshield, away from the focal point of the reflected sunlight.

A handlebar is supported by an upper bracket of a motorcycle through a handlebar holder. The handlebar holder includes a lower end portion supported by the upper bracket and an upper end portion to support the handlebar. A holder shank is provided in a lower end of the handlebar holder, and has a tip end portion formed with a male thread. A holder shank throughhole is formed in the upper bracket, through which throughhole the holder shank extends. The holder shank throughhole accommodates therein a tubular elastic mount member for suppressing transmission of vibrations. The holder shank is passed through a holder shank insertion hole formed on an inner side of the elastic mount member, and an elastic member is interposed forwardly and rearwardly of the elastic mount member situated between the handlebar holder and the upper bracket.

A fuel tank disposed between a head pipe and a rider's seat is provided, which includes a pair of grooved portion that are positioned on a top surface in symmetrical relation with respect to a longitudinal center plane. The pair of the grooved portions are positioned rearwardly of a tank top portion, each so formed as to have a transverse sectional shape that is represented by a smooth curved line. The grooved portions are parallel to the longitudinal center plane or inclined to extend with a distance therebetween gradually decreasing towards a rear, the distance being set to be within the range of 0.25 to 0.40 at a front end of each of the grooved portions and within the range of 0.08 to 0.35 at a rear end thereof.

A main frame includes a pair of left and right first frame pieces which extends rearwardly from above an engine, a pair of left and right second frame pieces each extending from a front portion in a direction slantwise downwardly and rearwardly of the associated first frame piece, and a pair of left and right third frame pieces each extending rearwardly from a lower end of the associated second frame piece through laterally of a cylinder block. The first mount section for supporting the front portion of the engine is constituted by a rubber mount in which a pair of left and right support portions, provided at respective joints between the second frame pieces and the third frame pieces, and a pair of first to-be-supported portions are connected together. The support portions are connected together through a connecting member that extends in a leftward and rightward direction.

Engine mount structure

A tandem grip unit includes a pair of left and right tandem grips. Each of the tandem grips in turn includes a to-be-supported portion supported by a vehicle frame structure, a grip portion to be grasped by a fellow passenger, a bag fitting portion to which a pannier bag is fitted, and a casing fitting portion to which a top casing is fitted, all of those elements being formed integrally.

A network game is continued in simulated fashion when a fault occurs in a communication circuit. A CPUof a control section of an arcade's server device is provided with: an abnormality monitoring sectionthat detects a disconnected circuit that is incapable of communication in the communication circuits whose communication is necessary for progress of the game, a simulated signal generating sectionthat generates simulated operation signals that simulate the necessary operation signals required for progress of the game for each client terminal device that is connected through the disconnected circuit, and a simulated signal provision sectionthat provides the simulated signals that are thus generated to the other client terminal devices, respectively.
