CAR GURU BUYS FONZIE’S CYCLE

-

REALITY show grease monkey Richard Rawlings just scooped up the 1949 motorcycle ridden by The Fonz on TV’s iconic Happy Days for a hot $231,562 — twice what it was expected to fetch.

The 52-year-old star of the just-canceled Fast N’ Loud car restoratio­n show says he bought the bike at an auction themed for actor Henry Winkler, who played Fonzie, to honor his dad, Ray, who’s battling Alzheimer’s.

As a kid in the ’70s, he fondly recalls how he and his father would watch the sitcom together.
