Triumph TR5 Trophy - Happy Days

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.

Famous quotes containing the words happy and/or days:

    People press toward the light not in order to see better but in order to shine better.—We are happy to regard the one before whom we shine as light.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
    Wherever the darkey may go;
    A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
    In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
    A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
    No matter, ‘t will never be light;
    A few more days till we totter on the road:—
    Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!
    Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
