Is he really cool?  By  kevinharrell (Read 1,967 times)

...and not just any motorcycle .....he rode a Triumph

Yes The Fonzo was cool.
But early on they needed to make him cooler. In the early episodes he wore a windbreaker. The powers that be changed that to his trademark leather jacket.

We all are cool, to an extent. Fonzie never hit no body but had people fear him. I think back to my school days, never fought anyone but hung around a tough crowd so no one messed with me. Fonzie had a black book with stars by girls names-that seemed cool, but I never needed a black book to recall girls I dated or liked. Fonzie rode a motorcycle but I ride a scooter. It sure is a lot more dangerous riding a Chinese scooter than a bike like Fonzies. His hair was cool- duck tail style. But it was a TV show in the 70's that was about the 1950's. Ron Howard was suppose to be the star but the Fonze took over as the star. Fonzie was suppose to be in one or two episodes, but was a instant hit with the younger generation. But we are all like Fonzie to an extent.

Old triumphs were far from the refined machines you see today. His bike had plenty of power to get into far more trouble when it failed. Old Triumphs failed quite a bit too... Sorry but you'll have to give that dangerous bike point to the Fonz

You still are if you chose to be....
With our crutch, old age and our wisdom "cool" never truly leaves ones soul.
