                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  


               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claim 3, the             
          sole claim remaining in the application.                                    


               Appellants' invention pertains to an apparatus for                     
          simulating a ride on a vehicle in a form of a motorcycle.  A                
          basic understanding of the invention can be derived from a                  
          reading of claim 3, a copy of which appears in the APPENDIX to              
          the main brief (Paper No. 11).
