This is a true classic trials bike. Motorcycle features:
-New Faber English trials frame -New custom Works Performance rear shocks -Rebuilt wheels with new alloy rims and SS spokes by Buchanans -Rebuilt Bultaco trials front forks -New alloy tank and seat -New handle bars and controls -Completely rebuilt motor by Raber's Motorcycles. Motor is a BSA B40. This motor has been completely rebuilt specifically for trials work, heavy crank, torque cam, special pointless ignition with advance curve for trials, new Amal carb, new clutch, all new bearings, etc. -All parts are either polished, powder coated, or re-plated so the bike looks like new. As you can see it is in show condition BUT the bike has never been started. Still needs a day or two of fettling to be ready to ride. Motor is 100% correct and ready to go, just minor detail work. I have run out of time and interest. Selling for far less than the cost to build the bike. My loss is your gain. Open to reasonable offers.. |

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!
Tue, 02 Jun 2009According 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.
