I think he came back on a kawi in like 2009 or 2010 and won a race if I am not mistaken. Then seemed to just disappear. Was one hell of a rider for sure!

No, he rode a Factory Kawi 450 for one race, Freestone, and wadded into a fence the first moto and that was the end.

I am pretty sure 2008 or 2009 He was riding a Canidae Kawi 250f as number 74. I thought he won a race but maybe he got passed at the end and just missed out on the W. Just looked and his last win was back in 2007 at Orlando on a Yamaha. I dont recall that one at all. But I got the info from the Racerx vault!

Brandon is probably on Travis Pastrana's permanent Christmas card list. He finished between the 199 and Roncada during the last several motos, which effectively allowed TP to win the title.

I was thinking he opened a restaurant or something along those lines. I'm probably wrong though.

I wonder what the factory budgets were just for clutches in the last few years of 125 racing? Guys like Stewart, Jesseman, Pastrana, Brown, etc., those guys rode the snot out of those things.

Hes a cook/chef back in his hometown.

We could make a list of guys like Jesseman. Names you heard every weekend - then never again.

Yeah they do, it's crazy how some people just disappear they just don't want anything to do with the industry or the other way around.

He raced for Mitch on PC for a season or two and finished out on Canidae.

RacerX needs to do a "What Bridges did they Burn" segment on some of these riders so people coming up can see how not to act.

Last I heard of Jesseman was on here and His agent was asking if anyone had seen him because he was MIA.

That sucks if true. The kid had a whole lot of talent. Would have liked to see him and Hepler on 450's with the rest of the guys out there now.
