Mike Budschat was kind enough to allow me to post some of the family photos of his dad Bob Budschat. Bob was a very successful local racer sponsored and employed by
Dewey's Cycle. The Budschat family later opened their own shop selling Ducati, Norton and Velocette. The retained Mike's photo comments as captions.

I
like this picture. 1955 my Dad Bob on a 500 Matchless twin out front of
all the Oregon boys in Salem Oregon. No dust when you're out front. |

You
won't see a race today run with a wood bridge. This the famous Death
Head Derby race in Olympia Was. He won it later in 1955. |

My Dad raced Catalina in 56. He was the first out-of-state rider. I got to go along too. I think my mom supplied the caption. |
