Triumph Trophy TR5 Happy Days 'Fonz' bike recommissioning - Time for a sunny, scenic test ride!

Perks of the job - sometimes at any rate, and this was no exception apart from that long wait at the cross roads! Other than that, the bike, the weather, the views and even the traffic were all pretty favourable, making this an enjoyable little outing, where all would appear to be well with this elderly Triumph Twin.

Thanks Paul.

That throttle cable would do my head in.

[@leslieaustin151]

Loved that. The TR5 should be good on Welsh lanes, very ISDT! That side view of the engine, the sound of a low-compression ‘Umph, and the sweep of that high-level exhaust… pure magic! Thank you. Les

Love the extravagant routing of the throttle cable.

What a difference a bit of sunshine makes. I Miss Wales.

[@williamnethercott4364]

Sounds pretty good! I hadn't noticed the sprung hub, you don't see too many of them.

Nice bike, I used to have a TRIBSA with a tr5 engine, same old story wished I had kept it!!

[@SLED649]

[@grateberk6435]

Good Fonz impersonation!

[@daveco1270]

Beautiful bike. Sounds great. What's with the duct tape on the handlebars?

[@paulhenshaw4514]

Not sure, maybe the owner knows?

[@Honkawsuzyamal]

It's holding them together as there broken

[@steamixion]

Feeble engine compared with the 650 as I recall.

[@paulhenshaw4514]

Well, it is hardly going to be a match for a 650 with only 500 cc and similar running gear, is it ...
