He bought a wrecked Triumph 765 for $2k, will put $5k or less into it, build it in 8 weeks, have it on the Moto America Pro Grid side by side with $40k builds and run mid pack. Anyone can do this and we're going to show you in a...

Ah found out who the lapped bike was;)
Bummer. what year model was the wreck please?
The Triumph is a 2020 Triumph 765R
good luck out there!!!!
Thank you!
love the series .. keep gettin it
Appreciate the support friend!
I wish this track was still open!
It's closed now? I had no idea!
@becausemotorcycle Yeah, it closed in 2018-2019, sometime around then. The owner passed away, and the family couldn't figure out what they wanted to do with the track. They originally said they might re-open eventually, but I haven't heard anything in a couple of years at this point. I live about 10 minutes away. It would be amazing if they re-opened. Now I have to make the 2-hour trip to G&J to find a mini-track.
Great job guys! Running myself a ST765 converted to Daytona in Italy, is awesome to see you achieve such great results in MA! Keep it up, love the content!!!
Thank you my friend!
Onward to Mid Ohio :-)
Thanks Mr. Tuna. Experience Expense and Tune (Tuna)! Always use your mechanical side and apply it to the database.
Good job Brian! Curious tho, on why you chose to run the stock Showa forks on the Street Triple. Are there any rules against putting the Daytona Ohlins on your racebike? It's a direct bolt-on, and if you combine it with Attack triple clamps to increase the trail, should be a nice upgrade over the Showa forks. The Daytona TTX could be made to fit the ST765 also with some minor modifications, but it will increase your ride height in the rear by 15mm. I had a MotoAmerica Ohlins tech measure the geometry of the bike, and he got me a decent enough setting. Good luck on your next race!
Running mostly stock parts was part of the original idea of Wreckers To Checkers. Building a bike on the cheapest budget possible and racing MotoAmerica. At one point we were running stock rear sets. The forks actually aren't even the same color haha. This year the cheap theme is kind of out of the window as we have been making upgrades in some places. It's a slow process without a ton of sponsors. We would also have to check the homologation list for what suspension parts are allowed and not allowed. Thanks for watching and for the well wishes!
great video but please lower the background music while people are talking!
I thought we did a good job mixing the sound, but noted for the next video. Our apologies.
The people talking have no clue what they're talking about, so Josh drowns them out with loud music. The soundtrack for the next round will be all Slayer.
Amazing video as always!
Thank you!!
Hey guys this video series is awesome and thanks for showing true grit.
Thank you for watching Mark! We love what we do and we love sharing it with fellow enthusiasts!
Awesome video!! Looking forward to ripping with you soon!

I happen to be doing a track conversion with a crashed Street Triple RS, same colour as yours, up here in Canada. Hope to see you guys come to the round at the Ridge in WA this season.
We don't think we will be making the West Coast rounds sadly. Next race is possibly Pitt!
See you at Road Atlanta Tuna! this is MB40

Nice!! I just built a daytona for trackdays this winter.
Yesterday was not perfect. Much Maholo for this video.
Phenomenal video! Great program/group, I have to see if there is something like Look Twice here in Denver. Thanks for sharing.
