A spider web removing device includes a base mount, a rod adaptor, a telescopic rod, and a quick disconnect fastener. The base mount that secures the spider web removing device to an outdoor vehicle or apparatus is rotatably mounted to the rod adaptor via the quick disconnect fastener. The rod adaptor provides a platform to secure the telescopic rod that effectively removes any spider webs that may present along a path of an outdoorsman. A plurality of first teeth of the base mount and a plurality of second teeth of the rod adaptor are engaged with each other so that the radial movement of the base mount and the rod adaptor can be incrementally controlled.

An internal combustion engine for being mounted laterally on a saddle-type vehicle includes an AC generator disposed on an end portion of a crankshaft which is supported in a crankcase. An ACG cover covers the AC generator from outside widthwise across the vehicle. The ACG cover includes an electric power transmission line cover bulging portion covering electric power transmission lines extending to the ACG cover and bulging sideways outwardly widthwise across the vehicle. A crank angle sensor is disposed behind the electric power transmission line cover bulging portion in a vehicle front-back direction. The crank angle sensor is thus protected from flying stones, etc. without an increase in the number of parts used and an increase in the weight of the internal combustion engine.
