R.I.P Mr Breithaupt

never won any race bitd at 47 yoa on jan 1 2015 won a hard fought 2nd place trophy in my novice class it was a great race and i try to get to the track here in orlando fl 3 times a week getting faster and love it! and a couple of weeks ago took my 84 RA-10 to show off and ride and let some of the kids ride it. having a great time getting a collection going and racing i love this stuff and met some good guys at the track and through collecting.

Nah.....I never rode for Bandito, besides seeing a few at national events all we really knew of Bandito was from what we saw in the magazines. Though I will admit, I'm guilty of drawing their gunslinger battling out Cheech Wizard on my textbook covers at school.
