One of the best known situation comedy shows "Happy Days" which is still showing as repeats in various countries of the world, is still to this day an all time Classic TV. Show.
The leading character known as "The Fonz" (Arthur Fonzarelli {Henry Winkler}) dressed in iconic leather jacket, tight jeans and that white T shirt, rode a Classic Motorcycle or three in the series. If the series was repeated in Aus. or U.S. today, only bike heads would notice the change in makes and models used on the show.
The show was most popular towards the late seventies and ran for a staggering 11 seasons (1972 the pilot, to the series end in 1984).If you click on the link below you will see the great bit of footage of "The Fonz" doing a Classic jump over rubbish cans and you are good, you may spot the error!
There were conflicting opinions as to what bike he had from show to show. For example, the Happy Days Picture Gallery had him next to a Harley Davidson Sportster and the in later episodes, a pre unit 500 Triumph Twin (more on this later) and even a B.S.A.
Google Groups thought that one bike was a Triumph, unspecified model, and the other a Harley Davidson Knuckle Head (doubt full, because of the size) and not a Sportster (more likely) So where's the evidence, it seems however, the Fonz was a man of many..... motorcycles, some even went so far as to name him "the father the son and the wholly Fonz", of Television,Fashon, and it seems, History and Classic Motorcycles.
