The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!

According to the “King of Cool” himself, “The Fonz” (Henry Winkler) never actually rode any motorcycles during the ten year Happy Days television run.  Winkler, never rode a bike in real life either, he has dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to co-ordinate the clutch, throttle and brake.  Instead, the bikes (Harley Davidson’s, Triumph’s, BSA’s were used) were mounted on a piece of wood with wheels to make it look like he was riding, even though I am not shocked, I am a little disappointed… You can watch the interview with Winkler, the famous motorcycle jump “The Fonz” made over 14 trashcans and a bonus “Jump the Shark” video after the jump.

Zard: a must have for Scrambler fans

ZARD EXHAUSTS have unveiled a tasty, white, full-length system to fit the latest Triumph Scrambler, at this year's Milan Motorcycle Show. Prices, spec and availability have yet to be announced but we think the system really brightens up the Scrambler's appearance. It's also a great improvement over the standard Triumph drain-pipe job.
