The
1949 Triumph Trophy TR5 ridden by The Fonz (Henry Winkler) in “Happy
Days” is up for auction, and experts say it could fetch more than
$90,000. The bike has reportedly been sitting unused for 15 years in a
motorcycle shop, having been bought by someone who didn’t know its
pedigree. The bike needs a bit of work before it can be ridden; no one
has used it since “Happy Days” ended in 1984. “The bike in its present
condition couldn’t pull the skin of a rice pudding,” said Nick Smith,
auctioneer at Bonhams. “It has an unknown mileage because the speedo is
broken and it hasn’t worked in years.” The motorcycle will be auctioned
November 12th in Los Angeles.
