The SPORTY he got in the show was the guy who killed his-self and wife was stuck with bill, so BRONSON took over the note or paid it off, but even back then I remember her saying he left me this $3000.00 bill, back then you could buy new car for that! PURPLE HAZE.

Fonzie's motorcycle, a Triumph, a custom street motorcycle seen on the sitcom Happy Days on ABC from 1974 to 1984. One of the main characters was Arthur "Fonzie" Fonazarelli, an ultra-cool Italian-American garage mechanic with former ties to a street gang (The Falcons). To get around his home turf of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Fonz rode a motorcycle. In the very early episodes he rode custom Harley-Davidson models. In the later episodes he rode a Triumph. "I never knew how to ride a motorcycle," said Henry Winkler, who played Fonzie. "As a matter of fact in the credits I ride up the driveway of the Cunningham home. That was the only time I ever rode the motorcycle, and I didn't quite know how to stop it so that I kept going and nearly killed the director of photography and smashed into the sound truck."

Do any of you oldtimers still know where to get "Bronson Rocks'? They were the best on the road tool kit I ever saw.

John on Ponche - riding those KPZ1000 police bikes for the TV series CHiPs
I recall being fascinated with the sound of those bikes, they used real sound bites
instead of today, where it's chopped in from a sound track.

Mission Impossible - Tom Cruise stunting on triumphs? er Ducatis?

Don't forget "Dumb & Dumber" Jim Carey riding his buddy on that mini-bike

Another Drive In CLASSIC 'HELLS ANGELS GONE WILD' with JACK NIKELSON, I think they named him POET, that was a good one, I heard they used real hells angels in a lot of the movies and BRUCE DERN picked up one of there jackets and put it on and one of the ANGELS knocked out his two front teeth! I heard one time EVEL KNEVEL did a jump and HELLS ANGELS where close to end of ramp but EVEL made the jump but slid his HARLEY in a bunch of ANGELS and they did not like it and started to jump EVEL and HUNDREDS of people came out of the stands and kicked ***!! PURPLE HAZE.
