Default Happy Days' Fonzie Fans--Did You Know?

Forward the video to the 50 second mark.

Motorcycles were imprinted in my mind and soul as a child watching the Fonz on his bike.

It was a real shocker to learn this about my childhood moto-idol.

First Santa Claus. Now this!

At least Evel Knievel was real

Disappointing yes, there's been a few articles about it in motorcycle magazines over the years.

How difficult would it have been to give the guy a day or 2 of lessons? Most people can pick up the basics pretty fast.

If I recall (and that is a big if). Estrada got lessons, and the other one knew how to ride. But they actually did ride.
