Did Henry Winkler really ride a motorcycle on HD? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I read where Henry was actually afraid of motorcycles, that's why I was wondering. In "Ralph's family problems" it seemed to me that the scenery was moving above the waist, but the bike was actually standing still, & that stuntmen who looked like Fonzie really rode the bike. Am I right here?

Fonzie: to Ritchie, "you really look down in the mouth for an egg! cracked under pressure? (Ritchie falls in love)

You're right! Henry only once really rode the motorcycle, which is when he is coming up the Cunningham's drive way featured in the credits. Otherwise a stuntman would due the jumps and rides. But they also would due the moving background or put the bike on a trailer and pull it with a car. Great job!
