Summary
A boxed toy Fonzie Motorcycle, battery operated (batteries not included). The bike is made of black, white and silver plastic with metal handlebars and a battery compartment at the bottom. It has two 'stabilizer' wheels in the middle to enable the turns. On either side of the main body of the bike are two white triangular stickers with 'Fonzie' in red and some blue stars. The box is torn and in poor condition with only the lid present. It has a picture of the motorcycle on the front with a Fonzie doll on it (doll sold separately). Text on the box reads 'Aaayyyyyyy! It's The Official Fonzie Motorcycle with Twist-out Action. The Bike That Makes Dazzling Daredevil Turns----All By Itself!' A sheet of instructions is included, detailing how to insert the batteries, how to turn it on and how to place the Fonzie rider correctly. Total number of items is 3.
