Henry Winkler only rode The Fonz' motorbike for 17 seconds
Despite his character's penchant for motorcycles, Winkler only rode his alter ego's bike once, because he was very nervous of motorcycles.
During an appearance on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' in 2023, he spilled: "I rode it really for 17 seconds, in the beginning, going up the hill. That was it. And there was a moment when they had me on soundstage 5 at Paramount. I was on the bike and all I had to do was rev it and move it five feet. I revved it and I be so dyslexic I had no idea where the brake was, where the gear was and I shot forward."
