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."
