Do you think that the Vintage bank account would cover the price of the Fonzie Triumph?

  Fonzie was one of the reasons I got in to motorcycles. He started on a rigid pan with a blue windbreaker. 1 or 2 episodes. Then came the bomber leather and the triumph he jumped over the garbage cans into Arnold's fried chicken stand. Near the end of the show he was gifted a pretty blue B.S.A. 650. The episode where Ralph runs over Fonz's Triumph Holds a line I'll never forget. " you don't understand that bike made me the Fonz!! Then there was the one where he lost his vision and his friends took it apart to give him purpose and he re-assembled it blind . So disappointing to find out he was a bit of a wiener. Shattered hero. Would love to own or ride this bike, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe we could build a replica Fonzie bike as a club project.  It would not be very difficult other than finding the right bike.  It would be pretty simple to duplicate after that.  Might be a good fund raiser for Hospice or whatever.

Fast1 - I too watched for the bike in every episode. A few glimpses in the intro... so fleeting.
 Now you can watch it on youtube - even stop the action and check it out - How time has changed things!

 Here is the intro with the Triumph - http://youtu.be/gMxkMy9JvXI
