I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

It is said he never actually drove it, they would have to push him to shots. He was scared #$%*less to drive it.

I read about this,I'm curious to see what it will go for.
its better to regret something you have done,than something you havent.Except playing with explosives.

 I read about it also.......There were many bikes on the show. I'm not sure if anyone actually knows how bikes they actually used. They started off with a Harley but as noted Winkler wasn't a big fan of being on a bike so they wanted something smaller.
 
 I'm sure someone will be able to take something like this and make a few bucks but I'd want something more of provenance than someone simply stating that this was one of the many bikes used.
 
 It's even been changed since then.

I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of...and the things I AM proud of, "are disgusting"

Whoa there Potsie, just cause you were jealous of all the chicks the Fonzie smooched on doesn't mean you get to disparage THE FONZ.
