Repairing The Fonz's vintage Triumph motorcycle - Will it run?

Arthur Fonzarelli, aka "Fonzie," aka "The Fonz," typified the essence of cool in the classic sitcom "Happy Days." Donning a leather jacket, white t-shirt, and jeans, Fonzie was often seen on his Triumph motorcycle. As luck would have it, we happened upon said motorcycle and were given permission by its owner to do a little wrenching on it. It'll take more than a Fonzie fist bump to get the bike running again but Davin gets to work and, by the time it's all said and done, ends up fulfilling a childhood dream of riding Fonzie's motorcycle. Aaaaayyyyyy!!!

My dad was a biker, I grew up around motorcycles. When I was a kid I had 3 heroes, my Dad, Fonzie, and Evel Knievel. This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. I work on bikes every day in my shop, I can only imagine how cool it felt to work on the Fonz's bike!

@ronws2007 3 года назад

Cool memory. Some of my relatives were also motorcycle enthusiasts. My first step-father's brother had a 1969 Shovelhead built like Fonda's Captain America but with a diamond tank instead of a tear drop. I watched that show forever and Fonzie was my favorite it was always cool in the intro footage to see him ride up. And we do have the Fonz to thank for the beginning of the phrase, "jump the shark." So, there is that.

They were popular still when I was stationed in the UK from 1968 - 1973. I had a Vincent and it was a trip to roll. Friend of mine bought a sea chest at a auction over there and it was locked. Contents unknown but he wanted the chest so he bought it for $500 dollars. It took 6 of us to loaded it into the back of his Pickup. We got it back to the base and unloaded it. A friend who was a Locksmith came over and it took him a couple of day to get open. Much to all of our surprise it was a full set of engineers Whitworth tools from the early 1900's. According to the paper work we found it belonged to an Engineer who traveled the world for a company as their representative to work on equipment. He still has the chest and all of the tools that were in it. every thing in there was in 1/32 and included wrenches and sockets also it was made in Switzerland.

Absitively, Posilutely, Fantastic dude. I'm 64 now and when I was in high school the "Fonz" was was the man and we use to to ride our choppers to school. They were chopped Honda 550 and 750 four cylinders but choppers none the less. Ape hangers, 6 angle pullbacks, King & Queen seats and 3 ft. sissy bars. When I got out of the Navy in 1988 I restored a 1963 Harley XLCH Sportster with seat and pillion pad much like the Fonz bike. I sold it and bought a 1974 Harley Electra Glide Police Special that I still have today. Great video!

@@brustar5152 : Close but not quite right - the twin-SU setup I had would shut the throttle plates, but if the dash pots did not immediately follow, the mixture went very rich and the engine would probably stall. Same stalling from a lean mixture with a fast throttle plate opening from idle. The other thing was the dash pots operated with a small air gap to the cover. Thus anything in the the cover like dust, excess damping fluid or moisture would slow down or jam the dash pots. NOT good for mixtures, especially in freezing-weather startup. These SUs needed a good cleanup late fall and again in late spring. Then they would give me 35 MPG @ 70 mph cruse. Loved them!

If it's like later Triumph's they have a fine metal mesh oil filter fitted to a hex head plug on the bottom of the cases, often overlooked and if they block the oil pump and motor will starve of oil. Check the P.S.I of the oil when running at the pressure switch, should be about 70 P.S.I before the bypass valve kicks in.

@bobbichin2621 4 года назад

@@tsclly2377 Not really, if the sump mesh screen plugs (which never ever happens) the worst thing that will happen is oil will not return to the oil tank and the engine will progressively burn more and more oil as the dry sump engine becomes a wet sump engine and blue smoke billows from the exhaust. There is a separate pump that pumps oil from the tank to the crank.

Excellent video, thanks! I'm tempted to mention that those "bastard" Whitworth's are actually the very first standardized thread patterns from before the American Industrial Revolution! They led the way for us later on (about 100 years later in fact, when UNC and UNF came out...just a couple years before Fonzies' bike was built). Btw, I was amazed to see the earlier Triumph's used SU's and not Amal's. Never knew that.

All you need now is a "Pinky" Tuscadero look a like on the back. Good job on the repair job.

@adamfield4068 4 года назад

Should call Suzi Q and get Leather Tuscadero on the back.

I've seen the interview where Henry Winkler said he didn't ride the bike but I would say that is BS there's plenty of footage where he is riding the bike I don't think they were CGI back then unless he had a twin body double as you can tell the sea and did not change

@@Hagerty Hello Hagerty, great video. What is that brake handle mechanism half way down the right handle bar? I'm not into British bikes, never seen that before. Just curious. Have a great day and be well. Thanks.
