Triumph Scrambler description

## This "Special/purpose built" Scrambler/short-circuit/trials/road-trails bike is the only one like it in the World
.
## It started its life as a Greeves 200cc Scottish Trials bike back in the early 60's - it was refitted with a Triumph Tiger 500cc kit from the UK back in the late 60's by a renown Qld scramble rider - it was raced very successfully - the next owner was an aircraft engineer, who refurbished the entire bike with just about everything replaced with new bitz or reconditioned - this amazing piece of machinery is just waiting for the right person too screw the quick action throttle, either in competition of road use


## The engine is believed to be one of ten produced for the Royal English Navy in 1967 with low compression, responsive cam, single carb, different gear ratios and an outside selection lever.


## These were raced World wide by the top riders and won many/many/many World titles - every bike is different since it was up to the "builder" to put his/her finishing touches to the final product.


## The bike is equipped with electronic ignition, mirrors, quiet muffler, speedo, lights and horn - it is ready for a road certificate or strip and race with the "golden oldies"


## Rear brake is by cable, Sammy Miller bitz, Greeves handle bars, English rims, Amal quick action throttle/carby, Triumph head-light, Enfield muffler, chain-oiler, a special purpose built alloy oil tank/air cleaner box, motor/gear-box refurbished, brakes and suspension renewed - starts and runs beautifully.

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.
