henry said on an interview that he only really rode the thing like once and that he was actually afraid of the thing. just the same he played a great character and we all liked him.

The funny thing is that starting a knuckle isn't all that difficult; three primer kicks with the ignition off, distributor fully advanced, a couple of throttle turns & then ignition on & 1 or 2 kicks to start it. That's all it ever took to start any off my older Harleys.

The knucklehead that he was supposed to ride in the series was too much motorcycle for this guy so they gave him the triumph. It was a little much for him also.

Richard Rawlings bought the bike for $230,000 after Henery Winkler had an auction house auction it for him, he had it in his personal collection in was NEVER in the possession of the Smithsonian Institution. Bonhams sole it on December 8, 2021. This post needs to be taken down.
