There may be a chance of him coming to the San Antonio, Tx area if that would help anyone out. There is a $500 deposit made within four days. You can email or call the owner directly if you have questions about the bike, shipping, payment, etc.
Any questions sent via the ebay link will get a response with his email address. Thank you, and good luck with your bid!

There is a video of the bike running! Contact the seller and he will email you the video.

A good running, good looking, kick-only 250cc British single. This bike is a runner, not a concourse show piece. It bears minor dents on the fenders and has some bits of paint knocked off the tank. It has the original formed metal tank. The bike has been painted, it was originally bright orange. While the straight bars offer a great riding position and a great look, they are not original. Also at some point the engine was stripped, BSA painted this years engine black. The exhaust is partially original but the actual muffler is a replacement, this model came with a much longer peanut style muffler, thus the bike is fairly loud. There is some surface rust on an area of the front rim. The bike is missing its chrome grab rail witch came up over the back of the seat. Not certain if a center stand was stock, but this one doesn't have one. Like most old Brits, it leaks a little oil. It comes with a clear title and a stack of manuals and other vintage info. This BSA is fun to ride, the more its ridden the better it runs.

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!

Tue, 02 Jun 2009

According to the “King of Cool” himself, “The Fonz” (Henry Winkler) never actually rode any motorcycles during the ten year Happy Days television run. Winkler, never rode a bike in real life either, he has dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to co-ordinate the clutch, throttle and brake. Instead, the bikes (Harley Davidson’s, Triumph’s, BSA’s were used) were mounted on a piece of wood with wheels to make it look like he was riding, even though I am not shocked, I am a little disappointed… You can watch the interview with Winkler, the famous motorcycle jump “The Fonz” made over 14 trashcans and a bonus “Jump the Shark” video after the jump.
