The Fonz, a character played by Henry Winkler in the popular and long running American sit-com Happy Days, rode a 1949 Trophy TR5 Scrambler Custom. The motorcycle was provided by stuntman and Triumph dealer Bud Ekins, who removed the front fender, painted the fuel tank silver and changed the handlebars. The bike used in the sitcom was put up for auction in October 2011.

Have puffed and burst as sun-starts on a stream.”
